Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39753 — What I have preserved
٣٩٧٥٣ - حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن هشام بن عروة عن أبيه أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ كان قطع بعثا قبل مؤتة وأمر عليهم أسامة بن زيد، وفي ذلك (البعث) (١) أبو بكر وعمر قال: [فكان أناس من الناس يطعنون في ذلك لتأمير رسول اللَّه ﷺ أسامة عليهم (قال) (٢)] (٣): فقام رسول اللَّه ﷺ فخطب الناس ثم قال: "إن أناسا منكم قد طعنوا علي في تأمير أسامة، وإنما طعنوا في تأمير (أسامة) (٤) كما طعنوا في تأمير أبيه من قبله، وأيم اللَّه إن كان (لحقيقًا) (٥) للإمارة، وإن كان (لمن) (٦) أحب الناس إلي، وإن ابنه من أحب الناس إلي من بعده، وإني أرجو أن يكون من صالحيكم، فاستوصوا به خيرًا" (٧).
Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent an army toward Mu'tah and appointed Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) as its commander. In that same army were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). The narrator said: Some people objected to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointing Sayyiduna Usamah as commander over the people of that army. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, addressed the people and said: "Some of you are objecting to my appointing Usamah as commander. These people object to Usamah's appointment just as they objected before to the appointment of his father. By Allah, he was indeed worthy of command and was among the people most beloved to me. And his son after him is among the people most beloved to me. I hope that he will be among the righteous of you. So intend good toward him."
