Eulogies of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
And by what the Cave enclosed of good and generous, while all the eyes of the misbelievers were blind thereto, (76) And “Honesty,” in the Cave, and the “Vouching Friend” [Abū-Bekr], budged not, while they [their pursuers] were saying: “No soul is in the Cave:” (77) They imagined that the Dove would not circle, and they supposed that the Spider would not weave, around the “Best of Mortals;” (78) The protection of God rendered [them] independent of twofold coats of mail, and of high towers. (79)
