3952. Narrated Ibn Mas'ūd رضي الله عنه: I witnessed Al-Miqdād bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than anything, had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e., Al-Miqdād) came to the Prophet ﷺ while the Prophet ﷺ was urging the Muslims to fight against Al-Mushrikūn [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muḥammad (ﷺ)]. Al-Miqdād said, "We will not say as the people of Mūsā (Moses) said: "...So, go you and your Lord and fight you two..." (V.5:24). But we shall fight on your right and on your left and in front of you and behind you." I saw the face of the Prophet ﷺ getting bright with happiness, for that saying delighted him.

3952 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، يَقُولُ: شَهِدْتُ مِنَ المِقْدَادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ مَشْهَدًا، لَأَنْ أَكُونَ صَاحِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عُدِلَ بِهِ، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو عَلَى المُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: لاَ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى: اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلاَ، وَلَكِنَّا نُقَاتِلُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَخَلْفَكَ «فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْرَقَ وَجْهُهُ وَسَرَّهُ» يَعْنِي: قَوْلَهُ
