"We can hide here," said Mohammad.
"I'm not sure," replied Abu Bakr. "This looks dangerous."
"Do you think we are just two?" Mohammad smiled at his companion. "There is a Third who protects us."
So they hid in the cave.
Soon after, their pursuers reached the cave; they could hear the soldiers arguing at the cave's entrance.
"Maybe they're here!"
"Wait! Look at this spiderweb covering the entrance. No one has entered here."
So they rode on; this was the miracle of the spider's web.
