حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اکْتُبُوا لِي مَنْ تَلَفَّظَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ النَّاسِ فَکَتَبْنَا لَهُ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ فَقُلْنَا نَخَافُ وَنَحْنُ أَلْفٌ وَخَمْسُ مِائَةٍ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا ابْتُلِينَا حَتَّی إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُصَلِّي وَحْدَهُ وَهُوَ خَائِفٌ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3060
Narrated Hudhaifa: The Prophet said (to us), " List the names of those people who have announced that they are Muslims." So, we listed one thousand and five hundred men. Then we wondered, "Should we be afraid (of infidels) although we are one thousand and five hundred in number?" No doubt, we witnessed ourselves being afflicted with such bad trials that one would have to offer the prayer alone in fear. Narrated Al-A`mash: "We (listed the Muslims and) found them five hundred." And Abu Muawiya said, "Between sixhundred to seven-hundred."
