What do you think about two when Allah is their third?

Every Companion and every Muslim for that matter would have loved to have been singled out for the honour of accompanying the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wasallam) during his migration to Al-Madeenah. However it was Abu Bakr (radiAllahu Andu) who was chosen and blessed with this great honour.

It is narrated in an authentic hadith:

“Anas ibn Malik (radiAllahu Andu) reported that Abu Bakr As Siddiq (radiAllahu Andu) reported him, he Abu Bakr said: I saw the feet of the polytheists very close to us as we were in the cave. I said: O Messenger of Allah(sal Allahu alayhi wasallam), if one amongst them were to look at his feet he would have surely seen us. Thereupon he said: O Abu Bakr, what do you think about two, when Allah is their third .” [Sahih Muslim (Book 31, Hadith 5698)]
