Al-Zuhri narrates: Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) was called "the Commander" until his death. People used to say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him (as commander) and then did not remove him from that post until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration as a mursal report, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
