English translation

3060. Narrated Ḥudhaifa: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said (to us), "List the names of those people who have announced that they are Muslims." So, we listed one thousand and five hundred men. Then we wondered, "Should we be afraid (of infidels) although we are one thousand and five hundred in number?" No doubt, we witnessed ourselves being afflicted with such bad trials that a man would offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) alone while he was in fear.(1) Narrated Al-A'mash, "We (listed the Muslims and) found them five hundred." And Abū Mu'āwīya said, "Between six hundred to seven hundred."

3060 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اكْتُبُوا لِي مَنْ تَلَفَّظَ بِالإِسْلاَمِ مِنَ النَّاسِ»، فَكَتَبْنَا لَهُ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ، فَقُلْنَا: نَخَافُ وَنَحْنُ أَلْفٌ وَخَمْسُ مِائَةٍ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا ابْتُلِينَا، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُصَلِّي وَحْدَهُ وَهُوَ خَائِفٌ. حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ فَوَجَدْنَاهُمْ خَمْسَ مِائَةٍ. قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ: مَا بَيْنَ سِتِّ مِائَةٍ إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةٍ

(1) (H. 3060) Perhaps the narrator refers to the fear of the people from some of the governors during the caliphate of 'Uthmān. Al-Wālid bin 'Uqba the governor of Kūfa used to delay the Ṣalāt (prayer) or used not to perform it properly; therefore, some pious men had to offer Ṣalāt (prayer) alone secretly and then offer Ṣalāt (prayer) with the governor lest they be put to trial by the governor. (Qastalānī).
