The Prophet ﷺ dispatched a military expedition and placed Usama bin Zayd in command over them. Some people criticized his appointment, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "If you criticize his appointment as commander, you criticized the appointment of his father as commander before him. By Allah, he was indeed worthy of command, and he was among the dearest of people to me, and this one is among the dearest of people to me after him."
حدثنا خالد بن مخلد حدثنا سليمان قال حدثني عبد الله بن دينار
بعث النبي ﷺ بعثا وأمر عليهم أسامة بن زيد فطعن بعض الناس في إمارته فقال النبي ﷺ أن تطعنوا في إمارته فقد كنتم تطعنون في إمارة أبيه من قبل وايم الله إن كان لخليقا للإمارة وإن كان لمن أحب الناس إلي وإن هذا لمن أحب الناس إلي بعده
