حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنِ الْمُخَارِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَحْمَسِيِّ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ
لَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ مِنَ الْمِقْدَادِ مَشْهَدًا لَأَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا صَاحِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ. قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ( وَكَانَ رَجُلًا فَارِسًا ). قَالَ: فَقَالَ: أَبْشِرْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، وَاللهِ لَا نَقُولُ لَكَ كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى ﷺ: اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ وَلَكِنْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَنَكُونَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ، وَمِنْ خَلْفِكَ حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ.

✧ I witnessed a scene with al-Miqdad that being its companion is dearer to me than anything on earth. He said: “He came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he was a horseman.” He said: “Rejoice, O Prophet of God. By God, we will not say to you as the Children of Israel said to Moses ﷺ: ‘Go, you and your Lord, and fight. We are sitting here.’ But, by the One who sent you with the truth, we will be before you, and on your right, and on your left, and behind you, until God grants you victory.”
