Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34480 — Reports on Usamah and his father
٣٤٤٨٠ - حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن هشام بن عروة عن أبيه أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ كان قطع بعثا قبل موتة وأمر عليهم أسامة بن زيد، وفي ذلك البعث أبو بكر وعمر قال: فكان (أناسا) (١) من الناس طعنوا في ذلك لتأمير رسول اللَّه ﷺ أسامة عليهم، فقام رسول اللَّه ﷺ فخطب الناس فقال: "إن أناسا منكم قد طعنوا عليَّ في تأمير أسامة، وإنما طعنوا في تأمير أسامة كما طعنوا في تأمير أبيه، وأيم اللَّه إن كان لخليقًا للإمارة، وإن كان لمن أحب الناس إلي، وإن ابنه لأحب الناس إلي من بعده، وإني لأرجو أن يكون من صالحيكم، فاستوصوا به خيرا" (٢).
Urwah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prepared an army to send in the direction of Mu'tah and appointed Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) as its commander, although Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) were also in that army. The narrator said: It was as if some people expressed displeasure at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointing Usamah as commander over the army. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "Some of you have expressed displeasure with me over appointing Usamah as commander. They also expressed displeasure before this at his father being made commander. By Allah, he was indeed worthy of command, and he too was among the people most beloved to me, and after him his son is also the most beloved of people to me. I hope that he will be one of the righteous among you, so treat him well."
