I said to Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, "I have been informed that Jabir bin `Abdullah said that the number
(of Al-Hudaibiya Muslim warriors) was 1400." Sa`id said to me, "Jabir narrated to me that they were
1500 who gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Al-Hudaibiya.'

Jabir said "On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, the people felt thirsty and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had a utensil
containing water. He performer ablution from it and then the people came towards him. Allah's
Apostle said, 'What is wrong with you?' The people said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We haven't got any water
to perform ablution with or to drink, except what you have in your utensil.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) put his
hand in the utensil and the water started spouting out between his fingers like springs. So we drank
and performed ablution." I said to Jabir, "What was your number on that day?" He replied, "Even if
we had been one hundred thousand, that water would have been sufficient for us. Anyhow, we were
1500.'
