"Hiding of the Prophet (PBUH)
==Hiding of the Prophet (PBUH)==


The significance of Mount Thawr lies in the fact that the Prophet (PBUH), during the migration to Yathrib (later known as Medina), concealed himself in a cave atop this mountain for three days. The polytheists, utilizing skilled trackers such as Kurz bin Alqamah, pursued him and traced his footsteps to the entrance of Thawr Cave. The nesting of birds, the weaving of spider webs, or the growth of a short-lived plant at the cave's entrance left the polytheists discouraged in their search for the Prophet. After a three-day stay in this cave, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) continued his journey to Yathrib.")(1) Ibn Saʿd, Muḥammad b. Manīʿ al-Ḥāshimī al-Baṣrī.

"Cave Location
==Location==
At the summit of Mount Thawr, there are two adjacent caves, both considered hiding places of the Prophet (PBUH) during the migration to Yathrib (Medina). Considering the companionship of Abu Bakr and also Amer bin Fuhayrah, the guide of the route, it can be said that the larger cave served as the place of concealment. The dimensions of this cave are 5.3 square meters in length and width, with a height of 1.3 meters."(3)( • Qāʾidān, Aṣghar. Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna.p96.
