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.  

مسلم:١٨٥٦eحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الأَشْعَثِيُّ وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِسَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ وَإِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ كُنَّا يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ فَقَالَ

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
