سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ خَيْرُ الرُّفَقَاءِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَ خَيْرُ السَّرَايَا أَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ وَ خَيْرُ الْعَسَاكِرِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ وَ لَا يُغْلَبُ عَشْرُ آلَافٍ مِنْ قِلَّةٍ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Mihran Bin Muhammad, form Amro Bin Abu Nasr who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying, ‘The best of the friends (circle) is the four, and the best of the battalions is four hundred, and the best of the armies is four thousand; and ten thousand would not be overcome due to scarcity (of numbers)’.
