Sahih al-Bukhari 2264
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ وَاسْتَأْجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي الدِّيلِ، هَادِيًا خِرِّيتًا وَهْوَ عَلَى دِينِ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَدَفَعَا إِلَيْهِ رَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا، وَوَاعَدَاهُ غَارَ ثَوْرٍ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ بِرَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا صُبْحَ ثَلاَثٍ.
Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Uqayl. Ibn Shihab said: Urwa ibn al-Zubayr informed me that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, said: The Messenger of Allah and Abu Bakr hired a man from Banu al-Dayl as a skilled guide. He followed the religion of the Quraysh unbelievers. They gave him their two riding camels and arranged to meet him at the cave of Thawr after three nights, with their two camels, on the morning of the third day.
Translation notes
This wording omits the alliance detail in the preceding account. It describes the guide as skilled and as following the religion of the Quraysh unbelievers.
