(تَفْضِيلُ حَضْرَةِ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَقَارِبِهِ)
(Hazrat Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, preferring the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, over his relatives)
Hadith 6174
وَعَن جبلة بن حارثةَ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْعَثْ مَعِي أَخِي زَيْدًا. قَالَ: «هُوَ ذَا فَإِنِ انْطَلَقَ مَعَكَ لَمْ أَمْنَعْهُ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَخْتَارُ عَلَيْكَ أَحَدًا. قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ رَأْيَ أَخِي أَفْضَلَ مِنْ رَأْيِي. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Jabala b. Haritha said: I came to God's messenger and said, "Messenger of God, send my brother Zaid along with me." He replied, "Here he is; if he goes with you, I shall not prevent him." But when Zaid said, "Messenger of God, I swear to God that I choose no one in preference to you," I considered my brother's opinion better than mine. Tirmidhi transmitted it
