✧ I saw al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad, the guard of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, sitting on a chest of the money-changers' chests in Hims, his bulk overflowing the chest because of his size, intending to go on a military expedition. I said to him: Allah has excused you. He said: The Sura of Mobilization has compelled us: {Go forth, light or heavy} [al-Tawba 41]. Baqiyya said: The Sura of Mobilization is Surat al-Tawba.
