It means there was a time in which he did it, but there is an eternal reality that is meant for us. So we don’t read their history as, ‘Oh, that event happened to them.’ The event happened for them but his teaching is that you are eternally in that movement. As I am 'moving from Makkah to Madina', it means I am moving from the busyness of the heart to Madinatul Munawwara, the ‘City of Light.’
Where is the maqam of Prophet ﷺ?
Where his body is buried.
It means...
he is in a state of fana and annihilation... in Allah’s (AJ) Presence.
Move from the busyness of your heart to the fana of your soul. So, we are asking to move from the busyness of this material world and all of its attachments, all of its attractions, to the reality of the soul.
Then we have 'to seek refuge in the cave'.
And we have to 'be from the People of the Cave'.
