Zuhayr ibn Harb, ʿAbd ibn Humayd, and ʿAbdullah ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Darimi narrated to me — ʿAbdullah said: "He informed us," while the other two said: "He narrated to us" — Habbān ibn Hilāl narrated to us, Hammām narrated to us, Thābit narrated to us, Anas ibn Mālik narrated to us, that Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq told him, saying: "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 Abū Bakr, what is your thought of two, when Allah is the third of them?'"
