English translation

[7037] 11 - (...) Abū Aṭ-Ṭufail said: "There was some dispute between a man among the people of Al-'Aqabah[1] and Hudhaifah. He said: 'I adjure you by Allāh, how many were the people of Al-'Aqabah?' The people said to him: 'Tell him, because he is asking you.' He said: 'We were told that there were fourteen, and if you were one of them then there were fifteen. I bear witness by Allâh that twelve of them were enemies of Allâh and His Messenger in this life, and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth, and three were excused. They will say: "We did not hear the caller of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and we did not know what the people intended." He (ﷺ) was in a lava field (Harrah) and he walked and said: "There is little water; no one should go to it before me." But he found that some people had gone to it before him, and he cursed them on that day."

Arabic text

11 - (2779) حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ جُمَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَقَبَةِ؟ وَبَيْنَ حُذَيْفَةَ بَعْضُ مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ كَمْ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْعَقَبَةِ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَوْمُ: أَخْبِرْهُ إِذْ سَأَلَكَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُخْبَرُ أَنَّهُمْ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ، فَإِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَدْ كَانَ الْقَوْمُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ، وَأَشْهَدُ بِاللهِ أَنَّ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِنْهُمْ حَرْبٌ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْأَشْهَادُ، وَعَذَرَ ثَلَاثَةً، قَالُوا: مَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا عَلِمْنَا بِمَا أَرَادَ الْقَوْمُ، وَقَدْ كَانَ فِي حَرَّةٍ فَمَشَى فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمَاءَ قَلِيلٌ، فَلَا يَسْبِقْنِي إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ» فَوَجَدَ قَوْمًا قَدْ سَبَقُوهُ، فَلَعَنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ

[1] Al-'Aqabah - what is mentioned here is not Al-'Aqabah located in Minā, where the Muslims from Al-Madīnah swore allegiance (Bay'ah) to the Prophet prior to the Hijrah; rather refers to Al-'Aqabah which was on the road to Tabūk, and was a place where the hypocrites gathered to plot their betrayal against the Prophet ﷺ at Tabūk.
