About Cave of Nabi Muhammad ﷺ at Uhud

During the Battle of Uhud, after the Muslim lines broke, Nabi Muhammad ﷺ was wounded and a false rumour about him spread among the Muslims. A group of Companions gathered around him and helped him up to higher ground on the slopes of Mount Uhud, where the Quraysh could not reach them. This hollow on the mountainside is traditionally pointed out as the place where he sheltered and rested after the fighting. The cave has been walled up to discourage climbing. It can be seen from the area near the martyrs' graveyard.
