I said to the Prophet ﷺ while I was in the Cave. "If any of them should look under his feet, he would see us." He said, "O Abu Bakr! What do you think of two (persons) the third of whom is Allah?"
قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَنَا فِي الْغَارِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ لأَبْصَرَنَا فَقَالَ مَا ظَنُّكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا

I saw the feet of the polytheists very close to us as we were in the cave. I said: Messenger of Allah, if one amongst them were to see at his feet he would have surely seen us. Thereupon he said: Abu Bakr, what can befall two who have Allah as the third One with them.
قَالَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى أَقْدَامِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا وَنَحْنُ فِي الْغَارِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ أَبْصَرَنَا تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا
I said to the Prophet ﷺ when he was in the cave - on one occasion he said: when we were in the cave -: If one of them looks at his feet, he will see us beneath his feet. He said: ʿO Abu Bakr, what do you think of two, of whom Allah is the third?ʿ
قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي الْغَارِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً وَنَحْنُ فِي الْغَارِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ لَأَبْصَرَنَا تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِقَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا
I said to the Prophet ﷺ when he was in the cave - on one occasion he said: when we were in the cave -: If one of them looks at his feet, he will see us beneath his feet. He said: ʿO Abu Bakr, what do you think of two, of whom Allah is the third?ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 11)
أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي الْغَارِ لَوْ أَرَادَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ لَأَبْصَرَنَا تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا؟ »
[Machine] I said to the Prophet ﷺ , "If one of them were to look beneath his feet, we would see what is beneath his feet." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "What do you think of two, with Allah as their third?"
قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ لَأَبْصَرَنَا مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا»
"عَنْ أَبِى بَكْر قَالَ: قُلتُ لِلنَّبِىِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِى الْغَارِ: لَوْ أَنَّ أحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ لأَبْصَرَنَا تَحتَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ! مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللهُ ثَالِثهُمَا".
