وَعَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَبْعَثًا فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ قَالَ لِي : " كَيْفَ تَجِدُ نَفْسَكَ ؟ " قُلْتُ : مَا زِلْتُ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ مَعِي خَوَلًا لِي وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَا أَتَأَمَّرُ عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا أَبَدًا .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ خَلَا عُمَيْرَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ وَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ وَغَيْرُهُ وَضَعَّفَهُ ابْنُ مَعِينٍ وَغَيْرُهُ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثِقَةٌ مَأْمُونٌ .

Sayyiduna al-Miqdad bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on a mission. When I returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: How did you find yourself? I said: I kept thinking that I had servants of mine with me (who were obeying me). By Allah! After this I will never become the amir even over two men.
