[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I married Miqdad and Zayd so that there could be the most noble and best of you in character before Allah. This is a connection that is cut off and before that there was kinship. Miqdad is the son of Amr ibn Tha'labah ibn Malik, the confederate of Aswad, a man from the Banu Zuhrah tribe. He was attributed to them, but he was not from their lineage. He was married to Duba'ah, the daughter of Zubayr ibn Abdul-Muttalib ibn Hashim."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَوَّجْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ وَزَيْدًا لِيَكُونَ أَشْرَفُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ أَحْسَنَكُمْ خُلُقًا هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَفِيمَا قَبْلَهُ كِفَايَةٌ وَالْمِقْدَادُ هُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ حَلِيفُ الْأَسْوَدِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ فَنُسِبَ إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ صُلْبِهِمْ وَقَدْ زُوِّجَتْ مِنْهُ ضُبَاعَةُ بِنْتُ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ
