Sufyan bin Sahbanah al-Mahri said: "I was a companion of Miqdad bin al-Aswad in the Jahiliyyah. He was a man of the tribe of Bahra'. He shed someone's blood among his people, so he fled to Kindah and made a pact of alliance with them. Then he shed someone's blood among them as well, so he fled to Makkah and made a pact of alliance with al-Aswad bin Abd Yaghuth."
