حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ اسْتُصْغِرْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ عُمَرَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَكَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ نَيِّفًا عَلَى سِتِّينَ، وَالأَنْصَارُ نَيِّفًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ‏.‏

Mahmud narrated to me: Wahb narrated to us, from Shuʿba, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara, who said: “I and Ibn Umar were considered too young on the day of Badr. The Emigrants at Badr numbered a little over sixty, and the Ansar a little over two hundred and forty.”
