أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَالَا: ثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ مَطَرٍ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَنْبَأَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ، عَنْ حُيَيِّ بْنِ مِخْمَرٍ الْوُصَابِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ دِمَشْقَ، عَنْ أَكْثَمَ بْنِ الْجَوْنِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، ثُمَّ الْكَعْبِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - ﷺ:

" يَا أَكْثَمُ بْنَ الْجَوْنِ، اغْزُ مَعَ غَيْرِ قَوْمِكَ؛ يَحْسُنْ خُلُقُكَ، وَتَكْرُمْ عَلَى رُفَقَائِكَ، يَا أَكْثَمُ بْنَ الْجَوْنِ، خَيْرُ الرُّفَقَاءِ أَرْبَعَةٌ، وَخَيْرُ الطَّلَائِعِ أَرْبَعُونَ، وَخَيْرُ السَّرَايَا أَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ، وَخَيْرُ الْجُيُوشِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ، وَلَنْ يُؤْتَى اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنْ قِلَّةٍ، يَا أَكْثَمُ بْنَ الْجَوْنِ، لَا تُرَافِقِ الْمِائَتَيْنِ

"O Aktham b. al-Jawn, go out on military expeditions with people other than your own tribe; your character will improve and you will be honored by your companions. O Aktham b. al-Jawn, the best companions number four, the best reconnaissance parties number forty, the best detachments number four hundred, and the best armies number four thousand. Twelve thousand will never be defeated for want of numbers. O Aktham b. al-Jawn, do not accompany the two hundred."
