“ya Rasululloh, why you’re here? Do you only want to visiting us?”
“La, actually we’re hiding from army of Quraisy.
Because they want to kill us”
From that one of ayat in Al-Quran was down.
“If you do not help him (Muhammad) then surely Allah has helped him when the unbelievers (Mecca-polytheists)
took him out (from Mecca) while he was one of two men when they were in a cave, when he said to his friend: Do not grieve, Allah is with us ". So, Allah sent down His testimony to (Muhammad) and helped him with an army

After they’re already made those spider web, the army of Quraisy was come and when they’re came, they can not see where was the Rasululloh and Abu bakar.

And one of ayat in Al-quran was down again,
“The parable of those who take
protectors other than God is
like the spider who makes the
house. And indeed, the weakest house is the spider's house if they know.”

So, we were commanded by ALLAH to go to the hell to bring some of hell’s stones, and fallen it down on that armies. We just went to the hell and took some of hell’s stone in my feet, and directly came to that place, ka’ba. It was the farest trip that I had done it. On the way, I looked at the world, and I found many kinds of things there. There were a largest of sea, the highest of mountains, and so many else.
Finally, we were arrived at near of the place. We could see the group of elephant’s armies. They were so nearest to the ka’ba. However, there was an old person whit his stick who stopped the armies bravely. He was the grand-father of rasulullah P.B.U.H., Abdul Muthollib. He was the guardian of ka’ba. He would stop any single person who wanted to destroy or just crash the ka’ba. He was so brave person, and all of mecca people knew who he is.
