وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: وَإِذْ يُرِيكُمُوهُمْ إِذِ الْتَقَيْتُمْ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ قَلِيلا وَيُقَلِّلُكُمْ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ قَالَ: لَقَدْ قَلُّوا فِي أَعْيُنِنَا حَتَّى قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ إِلَى جَنْبِي: أَتُرَاهُمْ سَبْعِينَ ؟ فَقَالَ: أُرَاهُمْ مِائَةً، حَتَّى أَخَذْنَا رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ: كُنَّا أَلْفًا

✧ Regarding the Almighty's saying: “And when He showed them to you, when you met, as few in your eyes, and He made you appear few in their eyes,” he said: They appeared few in our eyes, so much so that I said to a man beside me: Do you think they are seventy? He said: I think they are a hundred. Until we captured a man from them and asked him, and he said: We were a thousand.
