This hadeeth relates part of the story of immigration. When the Messenger prayer and peace be upon him, finally got the command from Allah to immigrate from Mecca to Medina in the company of Abu Bakr who carried the nick name of Sedik which means an exaggerating form of beliving. he was among those who believed the message immidately when Mohamed prayer and peace be upon him declared his Prophethood.
During their trip, they managed to hide from the pagans who followed them in an effort to kill Mohamed prayer and peace be upon him. They even announced a large bonus (100 camels) for one who directs them to the couple travelling away. In the middle of their trip, they took shelter in a cave. Allah may He be Glorified, in order to totally deter the pagans' attention from this cave and make them never even think that their is a slight possibility for the couple to be inside, commanded a spider to place its web at the opening of the cave and two pigeons came and made a nest and laid eggs as well. Who can even think for a fraction of a second that any one could have been in?? while the immigrating couple were inside, they looked to see the feet of the pagans standing right in front of the opening, that is when Abu Bakr said those words, but look what Allah Say in Quran to describe this situation:
"If you help him (Muhammad) not (it does not matter), for Allah did indeed help him when the disbelievers drove him out, the second of two, when they (Muhammad and Abu Bakr) were in the cave, and he said to his companion (Abu Bakr): "Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allah is with us." Then Allah sent down His Sakeenah (calmness, tranquillity, peace, etc.) upon him, and strengthened him with forces (angels) which you saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowermost, while it was the Word of Allah that became the uppermost, and Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise." (Quran 9:40)
