[Machine] "And among those who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the Banu Zuhrah and their allies was Miqdad ibn Amr ibn Thaʿlabah ibn Malik ibn Zamʿah ibn Thumamah ibn Matruud ibn Amr ibn Rabee'ah ibn Zuhayr ibn Namir ibn Thaʿlabah ibn Malik."  

«وَمِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ وَمِنْ حُلَفَائِهِمُ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ بْنِ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ مَطْرُودِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ نَمِرِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ»  

[Machine] About Urwah: "Regarding the naming of those who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the tribe of Bani Zuhrah and their allies, Muqaddad ibn 'Amr."  

عَنْ عُرْوَةَ «فِي تَسْمِيَةِ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ وَمِنْ حُلَفَائِهِمُ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو»  

[Machine] "And it is said that it is al-Aswad ibn Abi Qays ibn 'Abd Manaf."  

وَيُقَالُ إِلَى الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ»  

[Machine] "I used to be a friend of Al-Miqdad ibn Al-Aswad during the pre-Islamic era. He was involved in fighting, so he escaped to Kindah and swore allegiance to them. Then he got into a fight with them and fled to Makkah, where he swore allegiance to Al-Aswad ibn Abdul Yaghouth. That is why he is attributed to them."  

«كُنْتُ صَاحِبًا لِلْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَصَابَ فِيهِمْ دَمًا فَهَرَبَ إِلَى كِنْدَةَ فَحَالَفَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَصَابَ مِنْهُمْ دَمًا فَهَرَبَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَحَالَفَ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ فَلِذَلِكَ نُسِبَ إِلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] Al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad, also known as Abu Ma'bad, died in the year thirty after reaching around seventy years old. He used to dye his beard. He died falling off a cliff, and his body was carried on the shoulders of men. Uthman ibn Affan prayed over him, and he was buried in al-Baqi'.  

«الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ مَاتَ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثِينَ بَلَغَ نَحْوًا مِنْ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً وَكَانَ يُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَهُ مَاتَ بِالْجُرْفِ فَحُمِلَ عَلَى رِقَابِ الرِّجَالِ وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَدُفِنَ بِالْبَقِيعِ»  

[Machine] He is called Al-Miqdad bin Aswad. When the Quran revealed the verse "Call them by their fathers' names" (33:5), he was referred to as Al-Miqdad bin Amr. Al-Miqdad migrated to the land of Abyssinia in the second migration according to the narration of Ibn Ishaq. Al-Miqdad participated in the battles of Badr, Uhud, Al-Khandaq, and all other major battles with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He was one of the skilled archers among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Adh-Dhahabi did not mention him in the summary.  

يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ} [الأحزاب 5] قِيلَ لَهُ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَهَاجَرَ الْمِقْدَادُ إِلَى أَرْضَ الْحَبَشَةِ الْهِجْرَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ فِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ وَشَهِدَ الْمِقْدَادُ بَدْرًا وأُحُدًا وَالْخَنْدَقَ وَالْمَشَاهِدَ كُلَّهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ مِنَ الرُّمَاةِ الْمَذْكُورِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "I swear by the honor of its people." Then Al-Aswad bin 'Abd Yaghooth swore. It was said to him, "You are Mikdad bin Al-Aswad." He said, "No, I am Mikdad bin 'Amr Al-Bahrawi and not the son of Al-Aswad Al-Kindi."  

«لَأُحَالِفَنَّ أَعَزَّ أَهْلِهَا فَحَالَفَ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْبَهْرَاوِيُّ وَلَيْسَ بِابْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ الْكِنْدِيِّ»  

[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.  

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»  

[Machine] I saw Al-Miqdad ibn Al-Aswad, the Guardian of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , sitting on a coffin from the coffins of Sufah in Hims. The coffin was superior to him in size, and he wanted to join in the battle. So, I said to him, "May Allah forgive you." He replied, "Allah has excused us with the verse of Enlistment: 'March forth, whether light or heavy' (Qur'an 9:41)." Then he said, "The rest of the verse is from Surah At-Tawbah."  

رَأَيْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ حَارِسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا عَلَى تَابُوتٍ مِنْ تَوَابِيتِ الصَّيَارِفَةِ بِحِمْصَ قَدْ أَفْضَلَ عَلَى التَّابُوتِ مِنْ عِظَمِهِ يُرِيدُ الْغَزْوَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ أَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا سُورَةُ الْبُعُوثِ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] قَالَ بَقِيَّةُ «سُورَةُ الْبُعُوثِ سُورَةُ التَّوْبَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on a mission, and when I returned, he said to me, "How do you find yourself?" I said, "I am still as I was, until I thought that those who were with me had turned away from me. By Allah, I do not work on two paths after them."  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَبْعَثًا فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ قَالَ لِي «كَيْفَ تَجِدُ نَفْسَكَ؟» قُلْتُ مَا زِلْتُ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ مَنْ مَعِي خَوَلًا لِي وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَا أَعْمَلُ عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ بَعْدَهُمَا
