I witnessed Al-Miqdâd 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-Miqdâd) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while the Prophet (ﷺ) urging the h Muslims to fight against the Al-Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger (ﷺ) Muhammad (ﷺ)). Al-Miqdâd said, "We will not say as the people of Mûsa (Moses) said: ' So go you and your Lord and fight you two '. (V.5:24). 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. [5:288-0.B]
