The First Defense Warrior Horseback Riding
At that time there were seven people who openly showed their Islam, and Miqdad bin Aswad was one of them.
Miqdad bin Amru is known as a person who is good at religious knowledge. He was one of those who narrated the hadith of the Messenger of Allah. Miqdad bin Amru's stature is tall, his hair is thick, his beard is yellowish, and his body is large. He died 33 years in Jurf at the age of 70 years.
When Miqdad reached adolescence, there was a dispute between Miqdad and his friends. At its peak, Miqdad killed one of them with his sword. Thus, Miqdad fled to Mecca and was accommodated at once adopted by Aswad. With this adoption, it became Miqdad's name to Aswad that it became Miqdad bin Aswad. He is also called with Miqdad Al-Kindi, referring to his birthplace.
However, after the word of God which reads, "Call them (adopted sons) by (use) the names of their fathers," (Al-Ahzab [33]: 5)
So the name of his father's nasab is used again so that it becomes Miqdad bin Amru. Nevertheless, the name Miqdad bin Aswad is more popular for him. In the nickname, Miqdad bin Aswad is also often called by Abu Aswad, Abu Amru, Abu Ma'bad and Abu Sa'id.
Miqdad bin Amru is among the first to convert to Islam. At that time there were seven people who openly showed their Islam, and Miqdad bin Aswad was one of them.
Like the Companions of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam the other, Miqdad also not escape the pressure and torture committed by the Quraish infidels. Nevertheless, his determination to stick to the religion of Islam did not break his fortitude to pass the ordeal, until in the end the Messenger of Allah gave permission to the Muslims to emigrate to Habashah.
Initially, those who participated in this hijrah amounted to 14 people, ie 10 men (including Miqdad) and 4 women. Then the number continues to grow to reach 83 men and 17 women. Furthermore, Miqdad returned home with the emigrants who emigrated to Habashah, then followed the Prophet emigrated to Medina.
In Medina, Miqdad assisted Rasulullah and other companions in spreading the da'wah of Islam, as well as being active in battle with the Prophet and the Muslims.
Miqdad bin Amru participated in the Battle of Badr. In this war, the Muslims got a glorious victory over the Quraish infidels. In this war, Miqdad emerged as a formidable warrior. It is reported that Miqdad was the first to fight in the way of Allah on horseback.
Miqdad bin Amru also participated in the War of Uhud, Khandaq War, and Khaibar War, so he gained a high position by the Messenger of Allah. It is not surprising that the Messenger of Allah married Miqdad with his cousin, Dhuba'ah bint Zubair bin Abdul Muttalib.
Miqdad also participated in conquest wars with the Islamic army. At the time Amru bin Ash requested additional troops to Caliph Umar bin Khaththab to break into Babylon's citadel, Umar bin Khathtab sent 4,000 troops led by senior companions, namely Zubair bin Awwam, Miqdad bin Amru, Ubadah bin Shamir, and Maslamah bin Mukhallad.
