Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) as the commander of an expedition, some people talked about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have been informed that you have spoken about Usamah, and before this you spoke about his father too. He is worthy of command, he is worthy of command, he is worthy of command, and he is the most beloved of all people to me." The narrator says: Some excepted Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and others.
