[Machine] Al-Miqdad, son of Al-Aswad, son of Amr.  

«الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو»  

[Machine] Because he adopted him and swore to him, and Adam had a thick beard with a long nose. He died in the city at the age of seventy. Uthman ibn Affan prayed for him.  

لِأَنَّهُ تَبَنَّاهُ وَحَالَفَهُ وَكَانَ آدَمَ أَبْطَنَ يُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَهُ أَقْنَى طَوِيلَ الْأَنْفِ مَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ »  

[Machine] I saw Al-Miqdad and he was big.  

«رَأَيْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ وَكَانَ ضَخْمًا»  

[Machine] I saw Al-Miqdad, the warrior of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, sitting on a coffin made of sailboat wood in Hims, which was superior to it in quality. He intended to go on a military expedition, so I said, "May Allah excuse you." He said, "The verse of Al-Ba'athah has not been revealed to us yet: 'And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows.'"  

رَأَيْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ فَارِسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا عَلَى تَابُوتٍ مِنْ تَوَابِيتِ الصَّيَارِفَةِ بِحِمْصَ قَدْ أَفْضَلَ عَنْهَا مِنْ عَظْمِهِ يُرِيدُ الْغَزْوَ فَقُلْتُ لَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ اللهُ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ أَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا سُورَةُ الْبَعُوثِ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا}  

[Machine] Al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad was from Kindah.  

«كَانَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ»  

[Machine] I was the companion of Al-Miqdad ibn Al-Aswad during the period of Jahiliyyah. He was a man from Bahrā'. He shed blood among them, so he fled to Kindah and swore allegiance to them. Then he shed blood among them, so he fled to Makkah and swore allegiance to Al-Aswad ibn 'Abd Yaghooth.  

«كُنْتُ صَاحِبَ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَهْرَاءَ فَأَصَابَ فِيهِمْ دَمًا فَهَرَبَ إِلَى كِنْدَةَ فَحَالَفَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَصَابَ فِيهِمْ دَمًا فَهَرَبَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَحَالَفَ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ»  

[Machine] "It is only four thousand, so he argued with Umar. Uthman said, 'I lent him seven thousand.' Muqdad said, 'He swears that it is seven thousand?' Umar said, 'You have done justice, but he refused to swear.' He said, 'Take what he has given you.' He said, 'By Allah, the one besides whom there is no other god, it is only seven thousand.' Umar said, 'So what prevents you from swearing? Indeed, it is day and night.'"  

إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ فَخَاصَمَهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ أَقْرَضْتُهُ سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ وَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ تَحْلِفُ أَنَّهَا سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ؟ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَنْصَفْتَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ فَقَالَ خُذْ مَا أَعْطَاكَ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ إِنَّمَا هِيَ سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ؟ قَالَ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَحْلِفَ إِنَّ هَذَا اللَّيْلُ وَهَذَا النَّهَارُ؟
