Abu Tufayl reported,

There was a dispute between Hudhayfa and one of the people of al-Aqaba, the kind of disagreement that happens between people. The man said, "I adjure you by Allah, how many were the people of al-Aqaba?"The people said to Hudhayfa, "Tell him, since he has asked you."Hudhayfa said, "We were told they were fourteen. If you were one of them, then they were fifteen. I bear witness by Allah that twelve of them are at war with Allah and His Messenger in the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand. As for three, they were excused. They said, 'We did not hear the caller of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, nor did we know what the group intended.'"He had been in a stony tract and was walking when he said, "The water is scarce, so let no one reach it before me." But he found that some people had gotten there before him, so he cursed them on that day.

عن أبي الطفيل قال

كان بين رجل من أهل العقبة وبين حذيفة بعض ما يكون بين الناس، فقال: أنشدك بالله! كم كان أصحاب العقبة؟ قال: فقال له القوم: أخبره إذ سألك، قال: كنا نخبر أنهم أربعة عشر، فإن كنت منهم فقد كان القوم خمسة عشر، وأشهد بالله أن اثني عشر منهم حرب لله ولرسوله في الحياة الدنيا ويوم يقوم الأشهاد، وعذر ثلاثة، قالوا: ما سمعنا منادي رسول الله ﷺ ولا علمنا بما أراد القوم، وقد كان في حرة فمشى فقال: إن الماء قليل، فلا يسبقني إليه أحد فوجد قوما قد سبقوه، فلعنهم يومئذ.
