عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، قَالَ : نَظَرَ
ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يَسْحَبُ ثِيَابَهُ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ : " انْظُرْ مَنْ هَذَا لَيْتَ هَذَا عِنْدِي " ، قَالَ لَهُ إِنْسَانٌ : أَمَا تَعْرِفُ هَذَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ ، قَالَ : فَطَأْطَأَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَأْسَهُ وَنَقَرَ بِيَدَيْهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " لَوْ رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَأَحَبَّهُ " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin Dinar: One day Ibn `Umar, while in the Mosque, looked at a man who was dragging his clothes while walking in one of the corners of the Mosque He said, "See who is that. I wish he was near to me." Somebody then said (to Ibn `Umar), "Don't you know him, O Abu `Abdur-Rahman? He is Muhammad bin Usama." On that Ibn `Umar bowed his head and dug the earth with his hands and then, said, "If Allah's Apostle saw him, he would have loved him."

Hadith Commentary:
1.
Abdullah ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) said:
If only that person were with me, I would have admonished and advised him. But when he found out that it was Muhammad ibn Usama, he lowered his head out of respect.
It is possible that certain memories came to mind regarding how much the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) loved his father and grandfather. He also said:
If the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had seen him, he too would have loved him.
2.
From this hadith, the greatness of Usama (radi Allahu anhu) is also established, as he held a high status and respect in the sight of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
