Arabic text

٣٢٢٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ ‌زُهَيْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ ‌رَجُلٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنْ ‌أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: «سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنْ قَوْلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى {وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ} قَالَ: عِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary

In this Verse (۱۷) (Aw) means 'or even'; which means they were even more than one-hundred thousand. The extra numbers were twenty thousand, according to this report. Some Mawqūf narrations report that the extra numbers were even more than twenty thousand.
