Musnad Ahmad Hadith 25626

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that since I became conscious, I found my parents always following the religion, and there was never a day that the Messenger of Allah did not come to our house in both parts of the day, that is, morning and evening. But when the Muslims began to be persecuted more severely, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with the intention of migrating to the land of Habash (Abyssinia). At the place of Bark al-Ghamad, he met Ibn Daghna, the chief of the tribe of Qarah, who said, "O Abu Bakr! Where are you intending to go?" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "My people have expelled me..." Then she mentioned the complete hadith. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that at that time the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in Makkah, and he had told the Muslims, "The place of your migration has been shown to me in a dream; it is situated between two rocky tracts and has many date-palm trees." So those who migrated to Madinah did so, and those who had left their homeland and gone to Habash also returned to Madinah, and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also began preparations to migrate to Madinah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him, "Wait a little! I hope I will also be granted permission to migrate." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah, do you hope for this?" He replied, "Yes!" So Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) waited to accompany him, and he fed two she-camels leaves of the acacia tree and kept them ready for four months. One day, during the intense heat of midday, we were sitting inside the house when someone said to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has come." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came at a time when he usually did not come, with his face covered. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah, you have come at this time for some important matter?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked for permission to enter, and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) granted it. When he entered, he said, "Send out those who are with you, for I have something confidential to say." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "They are only my family." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I have been granted permission to migrate from here." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Will I have the honor of companionship?" He replied, "Yes!" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), may my parents be sacrificed for you, take one of these two she-camels." He said, "I will buy it." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that we quickly prepared the provisions for their journey and prepared a food bag. Asma cut a piece from her waistband and tied the mouth of the bag with it; because of this, she was called "Dhat an-Nitaq." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that after this, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the cave of Thawr and remained hidden there for three days and nights.
