Just as the Messenger of Allah did not abandon trust in God by concealing his departure from Mecca, hiring a guide, and ensuring his secrecy.
وَاسْتِكَتَامِهِ — and his ensuring secrecy. The opening particle adds this on, and the noun carries an attached 'his', so it means 'and his keeping it secret'. It shares the 'by' governing the earlier means-nouns, hence its governed form, the third in the list of measures he took.
