Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) remained hidden in the cave for three days. Hazrat Abdullah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), the son of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), would spend the day in Makkah Mukarramah, gathering information about the disbelievers. In the evenings, he would come to the cave and give Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) a detailed report of the happenings in Makkah. He would thereafter depart for Makkah in the early morning.
