Hadith O Abu Bakr, what do you think of two persons, the third of whom is Allah?

Seerah and History

عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنه قَالَ:
نَظَرْتُ إِلَى أَقْدَامِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا وَنَحْنُ فِي الْغَارِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ أَبْصَرَنَا تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا».

Abu Bakr as-Siddīq (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
When we were in the cave, I saw the feet of the polytheists as I raised my head, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, if one of them looked below his feet, he would see us. He said: "O Abu Bakr, what do you think of two persons, the third of whom is Allah?"

Authentic Agreed upon Sahīh Muslim - 2381

Explanation

The Commander of the Believers, Abu Bakr as-Siddīq (may Allah be pleased with him), said during the time of migration: I looked at the feet of the polytheists standing above us at the entrance of Cave Thawr while we were inside, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, if one of them were to look at his feet, he would see us beneath him. He replied: O Abu Bakr, what do you think of the two when Allah is their third, granting them victory, aid, protection, and support?!
