[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."  

الحاكم:٥٤٨٢ – فَحَدَّثَنَا بِصِحَّةِ ذَلِكَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ قَالَ

«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»
