Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The story of the spider confused me while I was reading in one of the books, regarding the spider and the pigeon's eggs on the door of the Cave of Hira, where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to worship. What is its authenticity?
Answer:
No, this is narrated regarding the Cave of Thawr, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companion hid in the Cave of Thawr from the pursuit of the polytheists. It is narrated that the spider spun a web over it so that it would be said that no one was inside, but this has not been established. Yes.
