3813. Zaid bin Aslam narrated from his father, from ‘Umar, that he (‘Umar) granted a stipend of three-thousand and five-hundred to Usāmah bin Zaid, and he granted three-thousand to ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar. So ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar said to his father: “Why have you given preference to Usāmah over me? For by Allāh, he has not preceded me to any battle.” He said: “Because Zaid used to be more beloved to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ than your father, and Usāmah was more beloved to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ than you. So I gave preference to the beloved of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ over my beloved.” (Hasan)
[He said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharib.

Commentary
‘Umar fixed the amount of stipend on the basis of precedence in emigration or on participation in the battles. According to both standards ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar was ahead of Usāmah bin Zaid, Therefore, ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar asked the reason of granting him a greater stipend.
