The Optimal Number of Companions, Detachment & Army

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that the best number of companions, detachment and army is four, four hundred and four thousand respectively.

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet said, "The best number of companions is four; the best detachment is four hundred and the best army is four thousand; and twelve thousand men will not be defeated as a result of smallness of number". At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud.
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما عن النبي قال‏:‏ “خير الصحابة أربعة وخير السرايا أربعمائة وخير الجيوش أربعة آلاف ولن يغلب اثنا عشر ألفاً عن قلة‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏
