He was always going with him to wage holy war against the polytheists. One day, the polytheists attacked Madina pastures and robbed them of their cattle.
So, our Master Muhammad (s) asked the Muslims to chase them. Al-Miqdad was among the first Muslims who obeyed the order of Allah's Apostle. Our Master Muhammad (s) led two hundred horsemen to chase the attackers, but they ran away. After the Prophet (s) had dismayed the polytheists, he came back to Madina. That raid was named Badr Minor Battle. Battle of Badr Near Badr wells, the Muslims heard that the polytheists would form an army. Besides Abu Jahal led the army.

Allah took revenge on Abu Jahal and Umayyah bin Khulaif, for they had tortured the Muslims. Besides, the Muslims captured some polytheists, such as al-Nadhar bin al-Harith, Akabah bin Abu-Myad, and others.
Al-Miqdad captured al-Nadhar bin al-Harith. The Muslims took the prisoners of war and headed for Madina. When they reached al-Atheel area, the Prophet (s) ordered a Muslim to kill al-Nadhar bin al-Harith. Al-Nadhar bin al-Harith had tortured the Muslims in Makkah. So, the Muslims prayed for Allah to save them from him. For this reason, Allah's Apostle ordered Ali bin Abu Talib (a), the hero of Islam, to kill al-Nadhar bin al-Harith to save the deprived Muslims from his torture. Al-Miqdad said.
Allah's Apostle, he's my prisoner! The Prophet (s) knew that al-Miqdad wanted ransom.
