حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْبَرْقِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ هِشَامٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ، ثنا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَكَّائِيُّ، عَنْ 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 الشَّرِيدِ بْنِ هَزْلِ بْنِ قابسِ بْنِ دُرَيْمِ بْنِ الْقَيْنِ بْنِ أَهْودَ بْنِ بَهْرَاءَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَافِ بْنِ قُضَاعَةَ، وَإِنَّمَا نُسِبَ إِلَى الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ بْنِ وَهْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ لِأَنَّهُ تَبَنَّاهُ وَحَالَفَهُ، وَكَانَ آدَمَ أَبْطَنَ يُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَهُ، أَقْنَى طَوِيلَ الْأَنْفِ، مَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُمَا»
Muhammad bin Ishaq said: "Miqdad 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 al-Sharid bin Hazl bin Qabis bin Duraym bin al-Qayn bin Ahwad bin Bahra' 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 al-Aswad adopted him and made a pact of alliance with him. He was of brown complexion and heavily built, dyed his beard yellow, and had a high-bridged, long nose. He died in Madinah at the age of seventy, and Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with them both) led his funeral prayer."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ وَكَانَ ضَخْمًا»
Hammam bin al-Harith said: "I saw Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was heavily built."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ نَجْدَةَ الْحَوْطِيُّ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو رَاشِدٍ الْحُبْرَانِيُّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ فَارِسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا عَلَى تَابُوتٍ مِنْ تَوَابِيتِ الصَّيَارِفَةِ بِحِمْصَ قَدْ أَفْضَلَ عَنْهَا مِنْ عَظْمِهِ يُرِيدُ الْغَزْوَ، فَقُلْتُ: لَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ اللهُ إِلَيْكَ، قَالَ: " أَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا سُورَةُ الْبَعُوثِ: {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة: ٤١] "
Abu Rashid al-Hubrani said: I saw Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) - the horseman (cavalry fighter) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) - sitting in Hims on one of the money-changers' chests, while his body was much bulkier than it, and he wanted to go out on a military expedition. I said: Allah Almighty has already excused you. He said: "Surat al-Bu'uth (that is, Surah al-Tawbah) has refused us (staying behind): 'Go forth, whether light or heavy' [al-Tawbah: 41]."
حَدَّثَنَا مُطَّلِبُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ»
Ibn Shihab said: "Miqdad bin al-Aswad belonged to the tribe of Kindah."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِمَاسَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ صَهْبَانَةَ الْمَهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: «كُنْتُ صَاحِبَ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَهْرَاءَ، فَأَصَابَ فِيهِمْ دَمًا فَهَرَبَ إِلَى كِنْدَةَ، فَحَالَفَهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَصَابَ فِيهِمْ دَمًا فَهَرَبَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَحَالَفَ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ»
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."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ الْمَازِنِيُّ، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، " أَنَّ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ اسْتَقْرَضَ مِنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ، فَلَمَّا طَلَبَهَا مِنْهُ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ، فَخَاصَمَهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: أَقْرَضْتُهُ سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ: تَحْلِفُ أَنَّهَا سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ؟ فَقَالَ: قَدْ أَنْصَفْتَ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ فَقَالَ: خُذْ مَا أَعْطَاكَ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ إِنَّمَا هِيَ سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ؟ قَالَ: فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَحْلِفَ إِنَّ هَذَا اللَّيْلُ وَهَذَا النَّهَارُ؟ "
Al-Sha'bi relates "that Miqdad bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) borrowed seven thousand from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). When he asked him to repay it, Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is only four thousand. So they took the matter to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I lent him seven thousand. And Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Will you swear that it is seven thousand? (Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)) said: You have spoken fairly. But Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) refused to swear, so Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Take whatever he gives you. Then he said: By Allah, besides whom there is no true god, it is indeed seven thousand. He said: Then what prevents you from swearing, when this night and this day (are witnesses)?"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ: «تُوُفِّيَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ بِالْجُرُفِ، وَحَمَلَهُ الرِّجَالُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَرْقَابِهِمْ فِي سَنَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، يُكْنَى أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ وَسِنُّهُ نَحْوٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ»
Yahya bin Bukayr said: "Sayyiduna Miqdad bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) died at al-Jurf, and men carried him on their shoulders to Madinah. This was in the year 33 AH. Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) led his funeral prayer. His kunyah was Abu Ma'bad, and he was about seventy years old."
