Majma al-Zawaid 15677 — The virtue of al-Miqdad
وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ : الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ مَطْرُودِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدِ [ بْنِ زُهَيْرِ ] بْنِ ثَوْرِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ هَزْلِ بْنِ قَابِسِ بْنِ رُوَيْمِ بْنِ الْقَيْنِ بْنِ الْهُونِ بْنِ بَهْزِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَافِّ بْنِ قُضَاعَةَ . وَإِنَّمَا نُسِبَ إِلَى الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ بْنِ وَهْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ ; لِأَنَّهُ تَبَنَّاهُ وَحَالَفَهُ . وَكَانَ أَبْطَنَ آدَمَ ، يُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَهُ ، أَقْنَى ، طَوِيلَ الْأَنْفِ . مَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً ، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - ) . .
Muhammad bin Ishaq narrates: He is Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Amr bin Tha'labah bin Rabi'ah bin Thumamah bin Matrud bin Amr bin Sa'd bin Zuhayr bin Thawr bin Tha'labah bin Malik bin Hazl bin Qabis bin Ruwaym bin al-Qayn bin al-Hun bin Bahz bin Amr bin al-Haf bin Quda'ah. He was attributed to al-Aswad bin Abd Yaghuth bin Wahb bin Abd Manaf bin Zuhrah because he (al-Aswad) had adopted him as a son and made him his ally. He was a man with a large belly and a wheat-coloured complexion, and he used to dye his beard yellow. He had a raised, long nose. He died in Madinah at the age of seventy, and Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) led his funeral prayer.
