hadith

۞
Because first, we are not certain that he is hiding from all his devotees, and such incertitude is sufficient in this argument. Furthermore, when the Prophet (s) hid in the cave, he was hiding from his devotees and his enemies and there was no one with him, except Abu Bakr. And it was possible that he had gone into hiding without anyone, friend or foe, had prudence demanded that.
لأنا أولاً لا نقطع على أنه مستتر عن جميع أوليائه،والتجويز في هذا الباب كاف. على أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم لما استتر في الغار كان مستترا من أوليائه وأعدائه ولم يكن معه إلا أبو بكر وحده،وقد كان يجوز أن يستتر بحيث لا يكون معه أحد من ولي ولا عدو إذا اقتضت المصلحة ذلك.
