It was narrated to me by Harmalah ibn Yahya: Ibn Wahb informed us, saying: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: ‘Ata’ ibn Yazid al-Laythi, then al-Junda‘i, narrated to me that ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Adi ibn al-Khiyar informed him that al-Miqdad ibn ‘Amr ibn al-Aswad al-Kindi — who was an ally of Banu Zuhrah and was among those who witnessed Badr with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him — said: "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if I meet a man from the disbelievers..." Then he mentioned a narration similar to that of al-Layth.
