Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39887 — Reports on the Night of Aqabah
٣٩٨٨٧ - حدثنا الفضل بن دكين عن الوليد بن جميع عن أبي الطفيل قال: كان بين (١) حذيفة وبين رجل منهم من أهل العقبة (٢) بعض ما يكون بين الناس، (فقال) (٣): أنشدك باللَّه، كم كان أصحاب العقبة؟ فقال القوم: فأخبره فقد سالك، فقال أبو موسى الأشعري: قد كنا نخبر أنهم أربعة عشر، فقال حذيفة: وإن كنت ⦗١٨٧⦘ فيهم فقد كانوا خمسة عشر، أشهد باللَّه أن إثني عشر منهم (حرب) (٤) (للَّه) (٥) ورسوله في الحياة الدنيا ويوم يقوم الأشهاد، وعذر ثلاثة، قالوا: ما سمعنا منادي رسول اللَّه ﷺ (٦) ولا علمنا ما يريد القوم (٧).
It is narrated from Abu al-Tufayl that there was some dispute between Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) and another man from among the people of al-Aqabah. He asked: "I adjure you by Allah (tell me), how many were the people of al-Aqabah?" At this the people also said: "Tell him, for he has asked you." So Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We used to be told that they were fourteen." Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "And if you were among them, then they were fifteen. I swear by Allah that twelve of them were at war with Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in this world and the Hereafter. And three were excused, who said: 'We did not hear the caller of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we did not know what the people intended.'"
