'''Miqdād b. ʿAmr''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|مقداد بن عمرو}}), known as '''Miqdad b. al-Aswad''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|مقداد بن الأسود}}), is one of the noble [[:category:Sahabas|companions of the Prophet (s)]], and one of the first Shi'as of [[Imam Ali (a)]]. He | '''Miqdād b. ʿAmr''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|مقداد بن عمرو}}), known as '''Miqdad b. al-Aswad''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|مقداد بن الأسود}}), is one of the noble [[:category:Sahabas|companions of the Prophet (s)]], and one of the first Shi'as of [[Imam Ali (a)]]. Miqdad converted to Islam early after [[Bi'that]] and was one of the first people who revealed his conversion to Islam. He attended all battles in the early years of Islam. Miqdad, [[Salman al-Farsi]], [['Ammar b. Yasir]], and [[Abu Dhar]] are referred to as the first Shi'as (followers) of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]]; they were known as Shi'as even in the period of [[the Prophet (s)]]. After the demise of the Prophet (s), Miqdad supported Imam 'Ali's (a) immediate succession of the Prophet (s), and did not pledge his allegiance to [[Abu Bakr b. Abi Quhafa]]. He was one of the few people who were present at the funeral of [[Fatima al-Zahra (a)]]. Miqdad is considered as a serious opponent of [['Uthman b. 'Affan]]. According to some sources, he was a member of [[Shurta al-Khamis]]. Miqdad is praised in [[hadiths]] from [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] in which he is said to return in [[Raj'a]] after the [[Reappearance]] of [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]]. He transmitted hadiths from the Prophet (s). | ||
