Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both) as the leader of some people. Those people expressed confusion about his leadership, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you are expressing confusion about his leadership, then before this you also expressed confusion about his father's leadership. By Allah, he was worthy of leadership and was the most beloved to me, and after him, this one is the most beloved to me.
