1279 — Abū Shuʿayb ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Hasan al-Harrānī narrated to us, saying: ʿAffān ibn Muslim narrated to us, saying: Hammām narrated to us, saying: Thābit narrated to us, from Anas ibn Mālik, that Abū Bakr—may Allah be pleased with him—related to him, saying: I said to the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—while we were in the cave, “If one of them were to look down at his feet, he would see us beneath them.” He replied, “O Abū Bakr, what do you think of two whose third is Allah?”
