Allah's Plan and that of Quraish

when the iniquitous decision had been made, gabriel was sent down to muhammad [pbuh] to reveal to him quraish’s plot and give him his lord’s permission to leave makkah. he fixed to him the time of migration and asked him not to sleep that night in his usual bed. at noon, the prophet [pbuh] went to see his companion abu bakr and arranged with him everything for the intended migration. abu bakr was surprised to see the prophet [pbuh] masked coming to visit him at that unusual time, but he soon learned that allâh’s command had arrived, and he proposed that they should migrate together, to which the prophet [pbuh] gave his consent.[bukhari 1/553]
