حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَافِظُ ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ يَحْيَى ثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ
قَدِمَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ «لَأُحَالِفَنَّ أَعَزَّ أَهْلِهَا فَحَالَفَ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْبَهْرَاوِيُّ وَلَيْسَ بِابْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ الْكِنْدِيِّ»

✧ Al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad came to Makkah and said: I will ally myself with the mightiest of its people, so he allied himself with al-Aswad b. Abd Yaghuth. Thus he was called Miqdad b. al-Aswad, but he is Miqdad b. Amr al-Bahrawi, and he is not the son of al-Aswad al-Kindi.
