Hadith Number: 5574
قال ابن عمر: حدثنا موسى بن يعقوب، عن عمته [عن امها] (2) كريمة بنت المقداد: انها وصفت اباها لهم، فقالت: كان رجلا طوالا، آدم، ابطن، كثير شعر الراس، يصفر لحيته، وهي حسنة ليست بالعظيمة ولا بالخفيفة، اعين مقرون الحاجبين، اقنى. قالت: ومات المقداد بالجرف على ثلاثة اميال من المدينة، فحمل على رقاب الرجال، ودفن بالمدينة، وصلى عليه عثمان بن عفان، وذلك سنة ثلاث وثلاثين، وكان يوم مات ابن سبعين سنة او نحوها (3).
Ibn Umar (Muhammad bin Umar) states that Musa bin Ya'qub narrates from his paternal aunt, and she from her mother Karimah bint al-Miqdad, that she described the features of her father (al-Miqdad, may Allah be pleased with him) before the people and said: "He was tall, of a light brown complexion, with a large belly. The hair of his head was thick, and he used to dye his beard yellow; his beard was handsome, neither very thick nor very thin. His eyes were large, his eyebrows were joined together, and his nose was prominent." Karimah bint al-Miqdad further said: "Al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away at al-Juruf, three miles from Madinah; he was carried on the shoulders of men and buried in Madinah. Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) led his funeral prayer. This happened in the year thirty-three (33) AH, and on the day he died he was around seventy years of age."

Technical note / Defect ('illah): (2) The text between the square brackets [ ] had dropped from the manuscripts, though it is indispensable. We restored it from "Tabaqat Ibn Sa'd" (3/ 150) - and al-Tabari transmitted it from him in "Dhayl al-Mudhayyal", as in 'Arib al-Qurtubi's "Muntakhab" of it (11/ 506) - where Ibn Sa'd narrated it from his shaykh Muhammad bin 'Umar al-Waqidi with this same chain as here; and through Ibn Sa'd, Ibn 'Asakir recorded it (60/ 154 and 182).
