Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 11600 — A man was given the command to keep
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، وَأَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أُمِرَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يُصَبِّرَ نَفْسَهُ الْعَشَرَةُ لِمِائَةٍ إِذِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ قَلِيلٌ، فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَمَرَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الرَّجُلَ أَنْ يَصْبِرَ لِلرَّجُلَيْنِ، وَالْعِشْرَةَ للعشرينَ وَالْمِائَةَ لِلْمِئَتَيْنِ»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A man was given the command to keep himself steadfast, (such that) ten (would stand firm) against a hundred, because the Muslims were few. Then when the number of Muslims increased, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, commanded that one man stand firm against two, ten against twenty, and a hundred against two hundred.
