May Allah keep you safe. This questioner, Sami from Jeddah, says: Tell us, Honorable Shaykh, about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) before the Mission, when he was worshipping in the Cave of Hira. Did he set aside specific hours? And how did he frequent this cave? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Yes, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was different from his people in their worship of idols, their drinking of intoxicants, and their customs of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance.

And he worshipped upon the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). He hid in the Cave of Hira in order to be safe from the harm of his people.
