In The Cave...
As soon as the pursuers left Mecca, a great miracle began to unfold. From a stone near the entrance of the cave, a branch started to emerge. This branch grew to cover the mouth of the cave, and soon, several more branches sprouted from it, with leaves growing on them. Within a short time, the entrance of the cave was so concealed that an onlooker from the outside would not have been able to tell that two people had taken refuge there on that night.
But it didn’t stop there. There was another guest to arrive between these leaves. Gliding down from the sky – a pure white female dove came, gently folded its wings and entered between the leaves. Apparently, it liked the place because it flew out again and came back to the nest with a small piece of litter in its beak. It was going to build a nest. Then its male partner flew over too. They quickly built their nest together. And yes, the female dove laid eggs – one, then another, and another. Some were white, while others were spotted.
And this is not the end of it! There was one more guest yet to come: He appeared from among the rocks and, like someone rushing to put out a fire, he headed toward the leaves. With his long legs, the spider quickly reached the middle of the cave. He seemed to like the place because he moved right and left, up and down, spinning his web with incredible speed. The word “amazing” doesn’t even begin to describe it. He managed to weave his web across this wide area in such a miraculously short time. And then, just like the satisfaction of someone who has completed his work, he slowly walked under the leaf in the corner of the nest.
Now, everything was ready. Even if not just two or three Meccan polytheists but the entire Quraysh army were to come, they still wouldn’t be able to discern that the Rasul of Allah (saw) and Hadhrat Siddiq were hidden inside this cave.
