حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَحُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ يُونُسُ: حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
خَيْرُ الْأَصْحَابِ أَرْبَعَةٌ، وَخَيْرُ السَّرَايَا أَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ، وَخَيْرُ الْجُيُوشِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ، وَمَا هُزِمَ قَوْمٌ بَلَغُوا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنْ قِلَّةٍ إِذَا صَدَقُوا وَصَبَرُوا

يرويه أبو سلمة العاملي عن الزهري عن أنس وأبو سلمة هذا عندنا هو الحكم بن عبد الله بن خطاف وهو متروك الحديث وروي عن عباد بن كثير عن عقيل عن الزهري عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله عن ابن عباس والمحفوظ عن الزهري المرسل
machine translationAbū Salamah al-ʿĀmilī narrates it from al-Zuhrī, from Anas. This Abū Salamah, in our view, is al-Ḥakam b. ʿAbdillāh b. Khaṭṭāf, and he is abandoned in ḥadīth (matrūk al-ḥadīth). It is also narrated from ʿAbbād b. Kathīr, from ʿUqayl, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdillāh, from Ibn ʿAbbās. But what is preserved (maḥfūẓ) from al-Zuhrī is the mursal version.
