Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39461 — The great Battle of Badr, how it came
٣٩٤٦١ - حدثنا عبيد اللَّه قال: أخبرنا إسرائيل عن أبي إسحاق عن أبي عبيدة عن أبيه قال: لقد قللوا في أعيننا يوم بدر، حتى قلت لصاحب لي إلى جنبي: كم تراهم تراهم سبعين؟ قال: أراهم مائة، حتى أخذنا منهم رجلا فسألناه فقال: كنا ألفا (١).
Abu Ubaydah narrates from his father: Indeed, on the day of Badr (the disbelievers) were made to appear few in our eyes, until I asked a man beside me: "How many do you think they are? Do you think they are seventy?" He replied: "I think they number one hundred." Until we caught one of their men and asked him, and he said: "We number one thousand."
