The Caliphate of ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān
ذِكْرُ مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ : أَسْلَمَ عِنْدَ إِسْلَامِ أَبِيهِ، وَصَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَوَى عَنْهُ، وَاسْتَعْمَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَوَلَّاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ ؓ مَكَّةَ، وَانْتَقَلَ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ وَنَزَلَهَا وَتُوُفِّيَ بِهَا. الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ ، وَاسْمُ أَبِيهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَبُو مَعْبَدٍ: كَانَ حَلِيفًا لِلْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ الزُّهْرِيِّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَتَبَنَّاهُ، وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ إِلَى أَنْنَزَلَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: ادْعُوهُمْ لآبَائِهِمْ [فَقِيلَ: الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ]. وَكَانَ طَوِيلًا، آدَمَ، ذَا بَطْنٍ، كَثِيرَ شَعْرِ الرَّأْسِ، [يُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَهُ، مَقْرُونَ الْحَوَاجِبِ أَقْنَأَ]. وَهَاجَرُ الْمِقْدَادُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ الْهِجْرَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ فِي قَوْلِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ وَالْوَاقِدِيِّ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، وَلَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، وَشَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَدْرًا وَالْمَشَاهِدَ كُلَّهَا. وَعَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: أَوَّلُ مَنْ عَدَا بِهِ فَرَسُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ . قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ: عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ مِنَ الْمِقْدَادِ مَشْهَدًا لأَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا صَاحِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عُدِلَ بِهِ، إِنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ لَا نَقُولُ لَكَ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى: فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلا إِنَّا هَا هُنَا قَاعِدُونَ، وَلَكِنَّا نُقَاتِلُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ يَسَارِكَ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَمِنْ خَلْفِكَ، فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُشْرِقُ لِذَلِكَ وَجْهُهُ وَسَرَّهُ ذَلِكَ. شَرِبَ الْمِقْدَادُ دُهْنَ الْخِرْوَعِ فَمَاتَ بِالْجَرْفِ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَمْيَالٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَحُمِلَ عَلَى رِقَابِ الرِّجَالِ حَتَّى دُفِنَ بِالْبَقِيعِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ، وَكَانَ ابْنَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً أَوْ نَحْوِهَا.

✧ Mention of Those Who Died in This Year Al-Ḥārith b. Nawfal b. al-Ḥārith b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib b. Hāshim Al-Ḥārith b. Nawfal b. al-Ḥārith b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib b. Hāshim: He became Muslim when his father became Muslim, and he accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and narrated from him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed him as a governor, and Abū Bakr, ʿUmar, and ʿUthmān ؓ appointed him over Makkah, and he moved to al-Baṣrah and settled there and died there. Al-Miqdād b. al-Aswad Al-Miqdād b. al-Aswad, and his father's name was ʿAmr b. Thaʿlabah b. Mālik, Abū Maʿbad: He was an ally of al-Aswad b. ʿAbd Yaghūth al-Zuhrī in the Jāhiliyyah, and he adopted him, and he was called al-Miqdād b. al-Aswad until the revelation of His saying, exalted be He: "Call them by their fathers" [so he was called: al-Miqdād b. ʿAmr]. He was tall, dark-skinned, large-bellied, with much hair on his head, [he dyed his beard yellow, with joined eyebrows and a hooked nose]. Al-Miqdād emigrated to Abyssinia in the second emigration according to the statement of Ibn Isḥāq and al-Wāqidī, but Mūsā b. ʿUqbah and Abū Maʿshar did not mention him, and he witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Battle of Badr and all the expeditions. From al-Qāsim b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, who said: The first whose horse charged with him in the cause of Allah, mighty and majestic be He, was al-Miqdād b. al-Aswad. Muḥammad b. Saʿd said: From ʿAbd Allāh, who said: I witnessed from al-Miqdād a scene such that being its companion is dearer to me than anything with which it could be compared. He came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was supplicating against the polytheists, and said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, we do not say to you as the people of Moses said: "Go you and your Lord and fight; we are sitting here." But we fight on your right, on your left, before you, and behind you. And I saw the Prophet's ﷺ face brighten at that and it pleased him. Al-Miqdād drank castor oil and died at al-Jurf, three miles from Madinah, and he was carried on the shoulders of men until he was buried in al-Baqīʿ in Madinah, and ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān ؓ prayed over him, and he was seventy years old or about that.
