SOAR CAVE (JABAL-E-SOAR)...

1 . There is no Muslim who does not know the importance of this cave, where our beloved Prophet Muhammad(S. A. W.) and his companion Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) stayed for few days to hide themselves from the bad intentions of their enemies who were following them to harm. 2 . After becoming disheartened to the behaviour of Makkah's Kuffar (enemies), Syedna Muhammad sallalla ho allihi wasalam decided to migrate towards Madina ( then called "YASRAB"). When He sallalla ho allihi wasalam was travelling towards his destination along with syedna Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA), enemies followed them to kill. Firstly they both walked over their toes, then Great Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) picked up his beloved and merciful Prophet over his shoulders so that the foot prints of one person instead of two could misguide enemies. 3 . Reaching to this cave, Syedna Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) cleaned it and filled all holes tearing his lower part of clothing but two holes could not be filled and He (RA) put his feet over them. Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) kept the head of Prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam over his thighs and Prophet (S. A. W.) slept for a while. During this time, a snake or reptile from the unfilled hole bite on the foot of Syedna Abu bakar Siddiq (RA), but he didn't move himself. He (RA) didn't want to disturb the sleep of his beloved Prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam. Pain became very severe and unbearable. Two drops of tears fell over the face of Prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam from the eyes of Syedna Abu Bakar (RA). Prophet (S. A. W.) woke up and became very happy to see the sacrifice of his companion. Prophet(S. A. W.) applied his holy saliva over the wound and it became healed up. 4 . They stayed here for three days and three nights. During their stay once enemies reached to the mouth of the cave. As an human being "Abu Bakar (RA) became worried, but the Prophet (S. A. W.) said, "No need to worry, we two are not alone. Third one is Almighty Allah with us". It is said that one spider put its web over the mouth of cave and pigeons laid eggs on that to miss guide enemies. Enemies realized that it was an old cave and they went from there.
