- After the invitation of the prophet to Madina after the pledges of Aqaba, the prophet told his followers to start migrating
- He stayed behind waiting for Allah’s command
- The meccans observed these developments and they decided to make a plot to kill the prophet.
- They knew Islam was going to succeed if at all the Muslims moved to medina
- they got 12 assassins each from the 12 clans of Arabia so as the clans cannot accuse one another for killing the prophet.
- Their plan was to kill him if he wakes up to go and perform the fajr prayer.
- The assassins surrounded his house and waited
- The same time, Allah sent the prophet a revelation informing him about the plan of the meccans
- Allah ordered him to migrate (85:15-17)
- He put Ali in his bed and left him with people’s valuables and instructed him to return them
- The prophet moved out of his house with his friend Abubakar leaving the assassins asleep
- They moved and hid in a nearby cave on Mt.THOUR
- The assasins were so disappointed to find out that the prophet had escaped
- They put a search team to bring the prophet either dead or alive
- They also put a bounty of 100 camels to anyone who did it.
- They searched for about 3 days and it is said on the 3rd day, they even reached the mouth of the cave.
- They did not check because a dove had laid eggs at the entrance and a spider had laid its web.
- Abubakar feared a lot but the prophet told him that Allah was with them
- After the searching had cooled down the prophet and Abubakar moved to medina on their camels.
