٢- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) زَوَّجَ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ أَسْوَدَ ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتَ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا زَوَّجَهَا الْمِقْدَادَ لِتَتَّضِعَ الْمَنَاكِحُ وَلِيَتَأَسَّوْا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَلِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ وَكَانَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَخَا عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَبِي طَالِبٍ لأبِيهِمَا وَأُمِّهِمَا.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Hisham ibn Salim from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, arranged a marriage between Miqdad ibn al-Aswad and Duba‘ah daughter of al-Zubayr ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘He (the Messenger of Allah) arranged this marriage for Miqdad only to explain the rules of marriage so that people follow the foot-steps of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and take notice that the most excellent in the sight of Allah are the most pious people. Al-Zubayr was brother of ‘Abd Allah and abu Talib from both father and mother’s side.’”
