وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ - هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ - ثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ:

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ ؓ بَعْثًا، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ: كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ بَعْثَكَ ؟ قَالَ: مَا زِلْتُ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ مَنْ مَعِي خَوَلٌ لِي، فَايْمُ اللهِ لَا أَعْمَلُ عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad ؓ on an expedition. When he returned, he said: "How did you find your expedition?" He said: "I kept going until I thought that those with me were my servants. By God, I will never take charge of two men as long as I live."
