Hadith text
Narrated Ibn `Umar:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent an army detachment and made Usama bin Zaid its commander. Some people criticized (spoke badly of) Usama's leadership. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up saying, "If you people are criticizing Usama's leadership, you have already criticized the leadership of his father before. But Waaimullah (i.e., By Allah), he (i.e. Zaid) deserved the leadership, and he was one of the most beloved persons to me; and now this (his son Usama) is one of the dearest persons to me after him." (See Hadith No. 765, Vol)
Ibn Umar bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne ek fauji dasta bheja aur Usama bin Zaid ko uska sardaar banaaya. Kuch logon ne Usama ki sardaari ki aalochana ki (bura-bhala kaha). To Allah ke Rasool (SAW) khade hue aur kaha, 'Agar tum log Usama ki sardaari ki aalochana kar rahe ho, to tumne pehle unke waalid ki sardaari ki bhi aalochana ki thi. Magar Wallahi (Allah ki qasam), wo (yaani Zaid) sardaari ke laayak the, aur wo mere sabse pyaare logon mein se ek the; aur ab ye (unka beta Usama) unke baad mujhe sabse pyaare logon mein se ek hai.'
