حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ
عُقَيْلٍ ، قَالَ
ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : فَأَخْبَرَنِي
عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّ
عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : " وَاسْتَأْجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي الدِّيلِ هَادِيًا خِرِّيتًا وَهُوَ عَلَى دِينِ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ ، فَدَفَعَا إِلَيْهِ رَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا وَوَاعَدَاهُ غَارَ ثَوْرٍ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ بِرَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا صُبْحَ ثَلَاثٍ " .
Narrated Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr hired a man from the tribe of Bani-Ad-Dil as an expert guide who was a pagan (follower of the religion of the pagans of Quraish). The Prophet and Abu Bakr gave him their two riding camels and took a promise from him to bring their riding camels in the morning of the third day to the Cave of Thaur.
