حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا و قَالَ الْآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ أَبَا بَکْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَی أَقْدَامِ الْمُشْرِکِينَ عَلَی رُئُوسِنَا وَنَحْنُ فِي الْغَارِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ إِلَی قَدَمَيْهِ أَبْصَرَنَا تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَکْرٍ مَا ظَنُّکَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6169
Anas b. Malik reported that Abu Bakr Siddiq reported him thus: I saw the feet of the polytheists very close to us as we were in the cave. I said: Allah's Messenger, if one amongst them were to see at his feet he would have surely seen us. Thereupon he said: Abu Bakr, what can befall two who have Allah as the third One with them.
