2828. It was narrated that Barā' bin 'Azib said: "We were talking about how, on the Day of Badr, the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ numbered three hundred ten and something, the same number as the Companions of (Tālūt) who crossed the river with him, and no one crossed the river with him but a believer." (Sahih)
2828 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: «كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَبِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ، عَلَى عِدَّةِ أَصْحَابِ طَالُوتَ، مَنْ جَازَ مَعَهُ النَّهَرَ وَمَا جَازَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ»

a. According to well known and authentic sources, the number of the Companions who participated in the battle of Badr was 313; among them 231 were Ansār. b. 61 fighters were from the tribe of Aws and 170 from Khazraj; the Emigrants were 82 according to the authentic narrations. Some scholars are of the opinion that the number of Emigrants was 83 or 86. For this reason the number of the Muslim army was mentioned as 314 or 317. (Ar-Rahiq Al-Makhtum by Safiur-Rahmān Mubarakpuri) c. As the supporters of Saul (Talut) were true believers; similarly, those who participated in the battle of Badr were also perfect believers and superior to other Companions.
