Share It is the cave where the Prophet,, and Abu Bakrlay hidden while they were on their way to Al-Madeenah duringHijrah)migration(. They remained there until the Quraysh calmed down and gave up pursuing them and then they resumed their journey.
While the Prophet,, and his companionwere in the cave, the Quraysh approached, looking for them until they reached the cave's entrance. In this grave situation, out of His bounty and limitless Omnipotence, Allaah The Almighty safeguarded them. Abu Bakrsaid to the Prophet,,"If one of them looks down to his feet, he will see us."The Prophet,, however, assured him and said:"O Abu Bakr, what do think of two )persons( when Allaah is their Third."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
Allaah The Almighty recorded this incident in the Quran Saying )what means(:}If you do not aid the Prophet -- Allaah has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out ]of Makkah[ as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allaah Is with us." And Allaah sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allaah -- that is the highest. And Allaah is Exalted in Might and Wise.{]Quran 9: 40[
The cave of Thawr is about four kilometers south of Makkah and Al-Masjid Al-Haraam )the Sacred Mosque(. It is 748 meters above sea level. It is a hollow rock with a height of 1.25 meters. It has two entrances, one from the west through which the Prophet,and Abu Bakrentered, another from the east.
It is worth mentioning that there is no evidence inSharee‘ah)Islamic legislation( that encourages visiting the cave of Thawr. Consequently, it is impermissible for a Muslim to visit the cave believing that there is a virtue for that visit inSharee‘ah, let alone visiting it with the intention of seeking the blessing of its floor or stones. This is actually a prohibited innovation in religion.
Allaah Knows best.
