حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، ثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْعَامِلِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَكْثَمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَوْنِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ: اغْزُ مَعَ غَيْرِ قَوْمِكَ يَحْسُنْ خُلُقُكَ، وَتَكْرُمْ عَلَى رُفَقَائِكَ، يَا أَكْثَمُ، خَيْرُ الرُّفَقَاءِ أَرْبَعَةٌ، وَخَيْرُ الطَّلَائِعِ أَرْبَعُونَ، وَخَيْرُ السَّرَايَا أَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ، وَخَيْرُ الْجُيُوشِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ، وَلَنْ يُوَلِّيَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنْ قِلَّةٍ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Aktham b. Abi al-Jawn al-Khuza'i, 'Go on military expeditions with people other than your own tribe, and your character will improve and you will be honored by your companions. O Aktham, the best number of companions is four, the best vanguard is forty, the best detachment is four hundred, and the best army is four thousand. Twelve thousand will never be defeated due to lack of numbers.'
