It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out of the cave, emigrating to Allah Almighty, and with him (peace and blessings be upon him) were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Amir bin Fuhayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) (whom Sayyiduna Abu Bakr had seated behind him on his mount), and Abdullah bin Urayqit al-Laythi (as guide) was with them, he took them all through the lower part of Makkah. Then he went on until they came down to the seashore below Usfan; then they passed through the lower part of Amaj; then, after crossing Qudayd, they changed route; then they passed by al-Kharrar; then they crossed Thaniyyat al-Marah; then they passed through Lift; then they crossed Madlajat Liqf; then they went through the inner route of Madlajat Majah; then they took the route of Marjih; then they passed through the valley of Marjih at Dhu al-Ghadawayn; then through the valley of Dhu Kishd; then they took the route of al-Jadajid; then they reached Dhu Salam by way of the valley of A'da' at Madlajah; then they descended the slope of al-Qahah; then they reached al-Arj; then they took the route of Thaniyyat al-Gha'ir to the right of Rakubah; then they descended into the valley of Ri'm, and (finally) arrived at Quba' among Banu Amr bin Awf. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Qays bin al-Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) set out secretly (for the emigration), they passed by a slave who was grazing goats. The two of them asked him for milk to drink, and he said: "I have no goat that gives milk, except this one young she-goat which became pregnant at the beginning of winter, but she miscarried, and now no milk is left in her udder." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call her." He brought her, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held her fast, passed his hand over her udder and supplicated, until she began to give milk. The narrator says: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought a shield; he (peace and blessings be upon him) milked into it and gave Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to drink, then milked again and gave the shepherd to drink, then milked again and drank himself. Then the shepherd said: "I ask you by Allah, who are you? For by Allah, I have never seen anyone (so blessed) like you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I tell you, will you keep my secret?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah." He said: "Are you the one about whom Quraysh claim that he has abandoned his religion (a Sabi')?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is what they say." He said: "Then I bear witness that you are the Prophet of Allah, and I bear witness that the message you have brought is the truth, and that no one could do this except a Prophet; and I will follow you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will not be able to do that (come with us) today; but when news reaches you that I have prevailed, then come to us." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
