Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mounts of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his companion Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, were with Abdullah ibn Urayqit, whom they hired to guide them on the path. As narrated by Bukhari, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and Abu Bakr hired a skilled guide (kharritan) from Bani al-Dil. They entrusted him and handed over their mounts to him, and they arranged to meet him at the Cave of Thawr after three nights. Amir ibn Fuhayrah and the guide set off with them, and he took them along the coastal route.
