Chapter: The Statement of Allah تعالى: "(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying: 'I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession.' Allah made it only as glad tidings, and that your hearts be at rest therewith. And there is no victory except from Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (Remember) when He covered you with a slumber as a security from Him, and He caused water (rain) to descend on you from the sky, to clean you thereby and to remove from you the Rijz (whispering, evil-suggestions) of Shaitan (Satan), and to strengthen your hearts, and make your feet firm thereby. (Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, 'Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.' This is because they defied and disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies and disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, Allah is Severe in punishment." (V.8:9-13)

Sahih al-Bukhari 3952
أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ يَدْعُو عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ لاَ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى {اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلاَ} وَلَكِنَّا نُقَاتِلُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَخَلْفَكَ. فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَشْرَقَ وَجْهُهُ وَسَرَّهُ. يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ
Narrated Ibn Masud:
I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than anything had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e. Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while the Prophet (ﷺ) was urging the Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, "We will not say as the People of Moses said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. (5.27). But we shall fight on your right and on your left and in front of you and behind you." I saw the face of the Prophet (ﷺ) getting bright with happiness, for that saying delighted him.
Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 3952) and Ahmad (No. 3515, 3863, 4145).
ذكر ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أنه رأى موقفًا من المقداد بن الأسود رضي الله عنه، لأن يكون هو صاحب هذا الموقف أحبُّ إليه من كل شيء يقابَلُ به ويوزن من أمور الدنيا، وذلك الموقف أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لما سار إلى بدر استشار المسلمين، فجاء المقداد وهو يدعو على المشركين، ويقول: لا نقول لك كما قال قوم موسى لموسى: اذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا، قالوا ذلك استهانةً بالله ورسوله، لما أمرهم بالدخول للأرض المقدسة، ولكن نحن نقاتل عن يمينك وعن شمالك، وبين يديك ومن خلفك، فاستنار وجه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وسَرَّه قولُ المقداد رضي الله تعالى عنه.
فضل الصحابة رضي الله عنهم على سائر الأمم، فهم وقفوا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وساعدوه بأموالهم وأنفسهم.
عِظم شأن هذه المقولة التي قالها المقداد رضي الله عنه، التي سرت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والتي ود ابن مسعود لو يكون هو قائلها.
