We were one thousand and four hundred on the Day of Hudaibiya when the Prophet ﷺ said to us: Today you are the best people on the earth. And Jabir said: If I had the eyesight, I could show you the place of the tree.
لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ وَقَالَ جَابِرٌ لَوْ كُنْتُ أُبْصِرُ لأَرَيْتُكُمْ مَوْضِعَ الشَّجَرَةِ
On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us' "You are the best people on the earth!" We were 1400 then. If I could see now, I would have shown you the place of the Tree (beneath which we gave the Pledge of Allegiance)." Salim said, "Our number was 1400."
لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ وَكُنَّا أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ أُبْصِرُ الْيَوْمَ لأَرَيْتُكُمْ مَكَانَ الشَّجَرَةِ
