What the Prophet ﷺ said to Abu Bakr in the Cave of Thawr
He said: I looked at the feet of the polytheists above our heads while we were in the cave, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if one of them were to look at his feet, he would see us beneath his feet." He said, "O Abu Bakr, what do you think of the two when Allah ﷻ is their third?"
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».
