عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أَمَّرَ أُسَامَةَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَعِيبُونَ أُسَامَةَ وَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ فَقَامَ كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ فَقَالَ ”إِنَّكُمْ تَعِيبُونَ أُسَامَةَ وَتَطْعَنُونَ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ وَقَدْ فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فِي أَبِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَخَلِيقًا لِلْإِمَارَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَأَحَبَّ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ إِلَيَّ وَإِنَّ ابْنَهُ هَذَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ خِيَارِكُمْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) as the commander of the army, news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that people were objecting to Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) being made the commander and were criticizing his appointment as leader. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said: "You people object to Usama being appointed as the commander of the army and criticize his being made the leader. You did the same before regarding his father, even though he was truly deserving of being made the leader. And he was the most beloved to me. After him, this son of his is among the dearest people to me. I advise you to treat him well; he is among your best people."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … See Hadith number (10974)
In the last days of his blessed life, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) organized an army and appointed Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (radi Allahu anhu) as the commander of this army. Since he belonged to a family of former slaves and his complexion was also dark, some people made remarks about his being appointed as commander. When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) came to know of this, he said: "You people object to the leadership of Usamah (radi Allahu anhu), and before this, you also objected to his father. Remember, he is indeed deserving of leadership, and he is the most beloved to me."
