Narrated Ibn Masud:
I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than any –
thing had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e. Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet while the Prophet
was urging the Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, “We will not say as the People of
Moses said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. (5.27). 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 getting bright with hap –
piness, for that saying delighted him.

the Beneficent to receive His judgment on the day of Resurrection (in my favor).” Qais bin Ubad also
said, “The following Verse was revealed in their connection:–
“These two opponents believers and disbelievers) Dispute with each other About their Lord.”
(22.19) Qais said that they were those who fought on the day of Badr, namely, Hamza, ‘Ali, ‘Ubaida
or Abu ‘Ubaida bin Al-Harith, Shaiba bin Rabi’a, ‘Utba and Al-Wahd bin Utba.

gans).” Then Abu Bakr took hold of him by the hand and said, “This is sufficient for you.” The Prophet
came out saying, “Their multitude will be put to flight and they will show their backs.” (54.45)
