Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39369 — Reports on the emigration

Umayr bin Ishaq narrates: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) set out for Madinah, Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) went after them. When he reached them he began to say: These are the two men whom Quraysh are seeking. If only I could return to Quraysh the men they seek. The narrator said: He drove his horse towards these two, and the horse sank into the ground. Suraqah said: Both of you, pray to Allah to bring the horse out, and I will not come near you. The narrator said: So the horse came out, and Suraqah repeated what he had done before, until this happened two or three times. The narrator said: Then Suraqah stopped. Then he began to say: Come, take these provisions and this mount. They replied: We do not want them and we have no need of them.
