The Holy Prophet of Islam goes to the Thawr Cave

At midnight the enemies of Islam surrounded the house of the Holy Prophet to carry out their satanic plot. But since God was the supporter and protector of the Prophet, He saved him from harm at the hands of the murderous infidels. While reading verses from Sura Yasin, the Holy Prophet of Islam came out of his house and through a by-way, went to the Thawr cave, which was situated outside Makkah. Abu Bakr was informed of the matter and accompanied the Holy Prophet."

The infidels rushed towards the Prophet's bed with drawn swords in their hands, but to their surprise, they found 'Ali in his place. Upset and enraged, they asked, 'Where has Muhammad gone? 'Ali answered, 'Had you assigned me to watch him? Well, you intended to expel him and he has left the city'.

Realizing that all their plots were frustrated, the idol worshipping Quraysh took serious measures but all in vain.
