Such knowledge óf the Prophet (saIlal laahu alaihi wasaIlam) made Abu Bákr be thé first man tó follow the Méssage of Prophet Muhámmad sallallaahu alayhi wá sallam. He (may Allah be pleased with him) was indeed the first adult male to accept Islam.

Allah Subhanahu wa Taala revealed to his Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the intentions of the non-believers and ordered him to migrate to Madinah.
