After Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) entered the Cave of Thowr, Allah Ta‘ala caused a spider to spin a web across the entrance of the cave.
The Quraish surrounded the home of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) the entire night. The following morning, when they saw Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) awaken from the bed of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), they were surprised and enquired from him regarding the whereabouts of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) replied, “I do not know where he is.”
