بَابُ فَضْلِ الْمِقْدَادِ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ -
The virtue of al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him)
Majma al-Zawaid 15678 — The virtue of al-Miqdad
وَعَنْ عُثْمَانَ ، وَقَالَ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ : مِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بَدْرِيٌّ ، يُكْنَى أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ ، وَقِيلَ : أَبَا عَمْرٍو حَلِيفُ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ ، [ وَقَدِ اخْتُلِفَ فِي نَسَبِهِ ] وَهُوَ مُهَاجِرِيٌّ أَوَّلِيٌّ بَدْرِيٌّ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - .
Al-Tabarani says: He is Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) bin al-Aswad bin Amr, a participant of Badr. His kunyah is Abu Ma'bad, and according to one view Abu Amr. He is an ally of Banu Zuhrah. There is disagreement about his lineage. He was one of the early emigrants, and he has the honour of having taken part in the Battle of Badr.
