Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1987b
"عَن عبد اللَّه بن جعفر وعياش بن عباس وغيرهما يزيدُ بعضُهم على بعض أن عمرَو بن العاص لما أبطأ عليه فتحُ مصرَ كتب إلى عمرَ بن الخطاب يَسْتَمده فأمدَّه عمرُ بأربعةِ آلافِ رجلٍ على كُلِّ ألفِ رجلٍ منهم رجلٌ (وكتب إليه عمر بن الخطاب: أنى قد أمددتك بأربعةِ آلافِ رجلٍ على كل ألفِ رجلٍ منهم رجلٌ) مقام الألف: الزبيرُ بن العوام، والمقدادُ بن الأسود بن عَمرو، وعبادةُ بن الصامت، ومسلمة بن مخلد، وأعلم أَنَّ معَك اثنى عشَر ألفًا، ولا تغلبُ اثنا عشرَ ألفا من قِلّةٍ".

"From 'Abdullah ibn Ja'far, 'Ayyash ibn 'Abbas and others, some of them adding to what others say, that 'Amr ibn al-'As, when the conquest of Egypt was delayed for him, wrote to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab asking for reinforcements. 'Umar reinforced him with four thousand men, with one man among them counted as a thousand (and 'Umar wrote to him: I have reinforced you with four thousand men, one man among them counting as a thousand). The one who counts as a thousand: al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam, al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad ibn 'Amr, 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, and Maslamah ibn Makhlad. Know that with you are twelve thousand, and twelve thousand will not be defeated for lack of numbers."
