بَابُ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ أَنِّي مُمِدُّكُمْ بِأَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بُشْرَى وَلِتَطْمَئِنَّ بِهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَمَا النَّصْرُ إِلاَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ إِذْ يُغَشِّيكُمُ النُّعَاسَ أَمَنَةً مِنْهُ وَيُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ بِهِ وَيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلِيَرْبِطَ عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الأَقْدَامَ إِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلاَئِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الأَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَاقُّوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ} .Chapter. The Statement of Allah: “(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying: ’I will help you with a thousand of a angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession.’ Allah made it only as glad tidings, and that your hearts be at rest therewith. And there is no victory except from Allah. verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (Remember) when He covered you with a slumber as a security from Him, and He caused water (rain) to descend on you from the sky, to clean you thereby and to remove from you the Rijz (whispering, evil-suggestions) of Shaitan (Satan), and to strengthen yor hearts, and make your feet firm thereby. (Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, ’Verily, I am with you so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelived, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.’ This is because they defined and disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, Allah is Severe in punisllment.” (V.8:9-13)

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، يَقُولُ : شَهِدْتُ مِنْ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ مَشْهَدًا لَأَنْ أَكُونَ صَاحِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عُدِلَ بِهِ , أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلا سورة المائدة آية 24 وَلَكِنَّا نُقَاتِلُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ , وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَخَلْفَكَ " ، فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْرَقَ وَجْهُهُ وَسَرَّهُ يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ .
Narrated Ibn Masud: I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than anything had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e. Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet while the Prophet was urging the Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, "We will not say as the People of Moses said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. (5.27). But we shall fight on your right and on your left and in front of you and behind you." I saw the face of the Prophet getting bright with happiness, for that saying delighted him.

Hadith Commentary:
The situation was that on the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had set out from Madinah upon hearing news of a Quraysh caravan.
There, the caravan had already passed, and a battle ensued with the army, in which the disbelievers of Makkah themselves came prepared in the capacity of aggressors.
At this critical juncture, the Noble Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sought the opinion of all the Companions regarding the matter of battle.
At that time, all the Muhajirun and Ansar reassured him and expressed their readiness.
The Ansar even went so far as to say that if you were to take us to a distant place called Bark al-Ghamad for battle, we would still accompany you and are present to fight with our lives and hearts.
Upon this, you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) became extremely pleased.

Hadith Commentary:
It happened that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) set out from Madinah Tayyibah with the people to intercept the caravan of Abu Sufyan on the day of Badr. Upon reaching the valley of Safra, it became known that Abu Sufyan, along with his caravan, had already escaped safely, and the Quraysh had set their sights on the location of Badr and were prepared for battle.
In such circumstances, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) consulted the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in). Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) and Umar (radi Allahu anhu) each, one after the other, reassured him. Since this was the first battle and the pact with the Ansar was for support and protection, and that too while residing in Madinah Munawwarah, it was not stipulated that they would fight enemies outside Madinah. Therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was awaiting the sentiments of the Ansar.
He said:
"O people! Give me your counsel." By this, he intended the Ansar, and this was perceived by the commander of the Ansar, Sa'd bin Mu'adh (radi Allahu anhu). Accordingly, he submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! Whatever you intend, proceed accordingly. By the One Who has sent you with the truth, if you were to lead us into the sea, we would plunge into it with you. Not a single man among us would remain behind."
Upon hearing these words of Sa'd (radi Allahu anhu), a wave of happiness swept over the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and he was filled with joy.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In one narration, there is further detail: Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (radi Allahu anhu) says,
I heard such a statement from al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad (radi Allahu anhu) that, had those words come from my own tongue, they would have been dearer to me than anything else.
He (al-Miqdad) came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) while he was supplicating against the polytheists. He said:
"O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! We will not say what the people of Musa (alayhis salam) said:
'Go, you and your Lord, and fight.'
Rather, we will fight at your right, your left, in front of you, and behind you."
I saw that, upon hearing this, the face of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) shone brightly and he was very pleased.

➋
In reality, what happened was that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had set out from Madinah al-Tayyibah upon hearing news of a Quraysh caravan, but the caravan escaped safely. However, a confrontation with the disbelievers of Makkah ensued, in which the disbelievers came prepared as aggressors.
At this critical juncture, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) consulted all the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) regarding the matter of battle. All of them reassured him and expressed their readiness for battle. The Ansar even said that if you were to take us to a distant place called Bark al-Ghamad for battle, we would still go with you and be present to fight with our lives and wealth.
➌
From some narrations, it is understood that Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (radi Allahu anhu) also said the same thing as al-Miqdad (radi Allahu anhu). It is possible that both Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and al-Miqdad (radi Allahu anhuma) said similar words.
In any case, this demonstrates the self-sacrifice and loyalty of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in).
