al-Sunan al-Kubra (al-Nasai) 81

Ahmad ibn Shuayb al-Nasai

«" كَمْ كُنْتُمْ؟، قَالَ: أَلْفًا وَخَمْسُمِائَةٍ "»

Its text does not say these are the Prophet’s words ﷺ, so they are not framed in gold.

The text as printed

٨١ - قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ فَحَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ: " كَمْ كُنْتُمْ؟، قَالَ: أَلْفًا وَخَمْسُمِائَةٍ "
