Sahih al-Bukhari 4154 (Book 64, Hadith 198) #3973
Loyalty and Commitment of Companions

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) praised the companions for their loyalty and commitment to him on the day of Al-Hudaibiya.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, Allah's Messenger said to us' "You are the best people on the earth!" We were 1400 then. If I could see now, I would have shown you the place of the Tree (beneath which we gave the Pledge of Allegiance)". Salim said, "Our number was 1400".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ ‏ "‏ أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكُنَّا أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ أُبْصِرُ الْيَوْمَ لأَرَيْتُكُمْ مَكَانَ الشَّجَرَةِ‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ الأَعْمَشُ سَمِعَ سَالِمًا سَمِعَ جَابِرًا أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, a treaty was signed between Muslims and non-Muslims. During this event, Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) praised his companions for their loyalty and commitment to him. He said that they were the best people on earth at that time as there were 1400 of them present. Salim reported that there were 1400 people in total. This hadith teaches us about the importance of loyalty and commitment to our leaders or those we are following in life. It also shows us how much respect Prophet Muhammad had for his companions which is something we should strive to emulate in our own lives as well. We should always be loyal to those who are leading us in a righteous path and show them respect no matter what situation we find ourselves in.
