Volume 3, Book 36, Number 464:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet and Abu Bakr employed a (pagan) man from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dail and the tribe
of Bani 'Abu bin 'Adi as a guide. He was an expert guide and he broke the oath contract which he
had to abide by with the tribe of Al-'Asi bin Wail and he was on the religion of Quraish pagans. The
Prophet and Abu Bakr had confidence in him and gave him their riding camels and told him to bring
them to the Cave of Thaur after three days. So, he brought them their two riding camels after three
days and both of them (The Prophet and Abu Bakr) set out accompanied by 'Amir bin Fuhaira and
the Dili guide who guided them below Mecca along the road leading to the sea-shore.
