A man narrated to me from ʿAbdullah bin Mulail that he said: I heard ʿAli ؓ say: Each Prophet ﷺ was given seven nobles, but your Prophet ﷺ was given fourteen nobles, including Abu Bakr, ʻUmar, ‘Abdullah bin Masʿood and ‘Ammar bin Yasir. ؓ
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ أُعْطِيَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ سَبْعَةَ نُجَبَاءَ وَأُعْطِيَ نَبِيُّكُمِ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ نَجِيبًا مِنْهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ
"'Ali bin Abi Talib said: 'The Prophet SAW said: "Indeed every Prophet is given seven select attendants" - or he said: "guards" - "and I was given fourteen." We said: "Who are they?" He said: 'Myself, my two sons (Al-Hasan and Al-Husain), Ja'far, Hamzah, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, Mus'ab bin 'Umair, Bilal, Salman, 'Ammar, Al-Miqdad, Hudhaifah, Abu Dharr, and 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud.'"
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ كُلَّ نَبِيٍّ أُعْطِيَ سَبْعَةَ نُجَبَاءَ أَوْ نُقَبَاءَ وَأُعْطِيتُ أَنَا أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ قُلْنَا مَنْ هُمَ قَالَ أَنَا وَابْنَاىَ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَحَمْزَةُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَمُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ وَبِلاَلٌ وَسَلْمَانُ وَعَمَّارٌ وَالْمِقْدَادُ وَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ
I heard ʿAli ؓ say: Each Prophet ﷺ was given seven advisers from his nation and the Prophet ﷺ was given fourteen advisers from his ummah, among them Abu Bakr and ʿUmar ؓ .
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ أُعْطِيَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ سَبْعَةَ نُجَبَاءَ مِنْ أَمَّتِهِ وَأُعْطِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ نَجِيبًا مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ مِنْهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ
