Hadith #25
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ الْأَحْمَسِيِّ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ مِنْ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ غَيْرُهُ مَشْهَدًا لَأَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَ
ا صَاحِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عُدِلَ بِهِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ لَا نَقُولُ لَكَ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى { اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ } وَلَكِنْ نُقَاتِلُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ وَمِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْكَ وَمِنْ خَلْفِكَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْرَقَ وَجْهُهُ وَسَرَّهُ ذَاكَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Nu'aym, from Isra'il, from Mukhariq al-Ahmasi, from Tariq ibn Shihab — that he said: 'I heard Ibn Mas'ud say: I witnessed something from al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad — [another narrator] said: I witnessed a scene from him — that I wish I were the one who had done it rather than anything this world could be exchanged for. He came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was supplicating against the polytheists and said: We will not say to you as the people of Musa said: 'Go, you and your Lord, and fight; indeed we are sitting here' [5:24]. Rather, we will fight at your right and at your left, and in front of you and behind you. I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ light up, and he was delighted by that.'
