Hafiz ibn kathir wrote in his tafseer : "The pledge mentioned here refers to the Bay‘at al-Riḍwān, which took place beneath a tree in the plain of Hudaybiyyah. The number of Companions who took the pledge that day was either 1,300, 1,400, or 1,500. The correct view is that they were 1,400.
Consider the related ḥadīths about this event:
In Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, it is narrated that “We were fourteen hundred that day.”
In a ḥadīth of Bukhārī and Muslim, it is reported that the Prophet ﷺ placed his hand in the water, and springs of water began to flow from between his fingers.
This narration is shorter than another version, which mentions that the Companions were extremely thirsty and there was no water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ handed them one of his arrows from his quiver. They placed it into the well of Hudaybiyyah, and water began to gush forth abundantly until everyone had enough.
When Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked, “How many were you that day?” he replied, “Fourteen hundred. But even if we had been one hundred thousand, the water would have sufficed for all of us.”
Another narration in Bukhārī states that they were 1,500. There is also a narration from Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reporting the same number (1,500). Imām al-Bayhaqī said that in reality, they were 1,500, and that was Jābir’s first statement; later, he became uncertain and said 1,400.
Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that they were slightly more than 1,500, but the most well-known narration from him states 1,400. The majority of scholars and biographers have also affirmed that the number was 1,400.
One narration says that the People of the Tree (Aṣḥāb al-Shajarah) were 1,400, and that one-eighth of the Muhājirīn embraced Islam that day.
In Sīrat Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq, it is mentioned that during the year of Hudaybiyyah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out from Madinah Munawwarah intending to perform the ‘Umrah and visit the House of Allah, accompanied by 700 Companions. With him were 70 sacrificial camels, one for every ten men.
However, Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that they were 1,400 that day. Ibn Ḥibbān also mentioned that they were 1,500, but this is considered among his errors (wahm).
The sound narrations of Bukhārī and Muslim confirm that they were a little over one thousand, as will be discussed later, in shā’ Allāh Ta‘ālā."
