Islamic Folklore Prophet Muhammad SAW & The Spider from Cave of Thawr

I am a spider who is higher in rank than other spiders.

With all humility, if all the spiders in this world were put in one hand and I was put in the other I would outweigh them in superiority.

I am not one to make false claims and show-off, I am simply stating facts.

I do not think that I need to introduce myself to the reader, for I am sure you understand that I am the spider of the cave that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) hid in.

I am the one, who was responsible for the Prophet's deliverance.

I am the one, who Allah (God) sent to protect him.My web is very flimsy and light and the slightest breeze can blow it away.

However, despite the weakness of my web, I managed to ward off the iron swords of the atheists that went out in pursuit of the Prophet, and moreover, I was able to defeat them!

The outcome of the conflict between the spiders' weak silk and the iron of the swords was the defeat of iron.

My house is considered a parable of weakness, "e;Verily, the frailest (weakest) of houses is the spider's house."e; I sat in my house protecting the noble house of Islam and guarding the Prophet of Allah, Muhammad ibn ' Abdullah (peace be upon him).That was not all that happened to me.

Something even more wonderful happened; I saw the Prophet.

I know that after the Prophet's death, millions will visit his grave to cry and pray.
