[6265] 64 - (...) It was narrated from Sâlim that his father said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said when he was on the Minbar: 'You object to his command' - meaning Usâmah bin Zaid - 'and you objected to the command of his father before him. But by Allâh, he was fit to command and by Allâh he was one of the dearest of people to me. By Allâh this one' - meaning Usâmah bin Zaid - 'is fit to command, and by Allâh, he is one of the dearest of them to me after him. So treat him well, for he is one of your righteous.'"
