[Machine] "For me to be its owner, it is more beloved to me than anything on earth." He said that a man from Persia came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "May the Prophet of Allah be glad! By Allah, we will not say to you what the Children of Israel said to Moses ﷺ , 'Go, you and your Lord, and fight. We are sitting here.' But, by the One who sent you with the truth, we will be in front of you, on your right, on your left, and behind you until Allah grants you victory."  

أحمد:٤٣٧٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنِ الْمُخَارِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَحْمَسِيِّ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ مِنَ الْمِقْدَادِ مَشْهَدًا

لَأَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا صَاحِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا فَارِسًا قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَاللهِ لَا نَقُولُ لَكَ كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى ﷺ {اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ} وَلَكِنْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَنَكُونَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ وَمِنْ خَلْفِكَ حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ

[Machine] "Because I am the one who possesses it, it is more beloved to me than what was sacrificed by the Prophet ﷺ while he was invoking curses upon the polytheists. So I said, 'We will not say to you what the people of Moses said (go, you and your Lord, and fight, while we sit here),' but rather, we will fight alongside you, from your right, left, front, and back.' So I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ light up and he was pleased with that."

[Machine] To be his companion is dearer to me than anything else, because he (referring to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) came while invoking upon the polytheists, and said: "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, we do not say what the people of Moses said to Moses: 'Go, you and your Lord, and fight, we are here sitting' but we fight on your right, on your left, in front of you, and behind you." So I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, pleased with that.  

الحاكم:٥٤٨٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمَحْبُوبِيُّ بِمَرْوَ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى أَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ عَنْ طَارِقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ مِنَ الْمِقْدَادِ مَشْهَدًا

لِأَنْ أَكُونَ صَاحِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عُدِلَ بِهِ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى لِمُوسَى {اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ} وَلَكِنَّا نُقَاتِلُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ وَمِنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَمِنْ خَلْفِكَ «فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُشْرِقُ لِذَلِكَ وَسَرَّهُ ذَلِكَ»
