Musnad Ahmad 11 (Book 1, Hadith 11) #33709
Trusting in Allah's Protection

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of trusting in Allah and having faith that He will protect us.

It was narrated from Anas that Abu Bakr told him: I said to the Prophet when he was in the cave - on one occasion he said: when we were in the cave -: If one of them looks at his feet, he will see us beneath his feet. He said: 'O Abu Bakr, what do you think of two, of whom Allah is the third?'
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَهُوَ فِي الْغَارِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً وَنَحْنُ فِي الْغَارِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ لَأَبْصَرَنَا تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Anas ibn Malik, who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In this hadith, Abu Bakr asked the Prophet ﷺ what he thought about two people when they were in a cave and feared being discovered by their enemies. The Prophet ﷺ replied with a profound statement, saying “O Abu Bakr, what do you think of two, of whom Allah is the third?” This statement emphasizes the importance of trusting in Allah and having faith that He will protect us. No matter how dire our situation may be or how outnumbered we are, if we have faith that Allah is with us then we can be sure that He will take care of us. We should always remember to put our trust in Him and not worry too much about our circumstances because ultimately it is up to Him to decide what happens to us.
