Abdullah bin Umar reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said while standing on the pulpit, referring to Usama bin Zayd, "If you criticize his command, you have already criticized the command of his father before him. By Allah, he was truly worthy of it. By Allah, he was the most beloved of people to me. By Allah, this one is truly worthy of it," meaning Usama bin Zayd, "and by Allah, he is the most beloved of them to me after his father. So I urge you to treat him well, for he is among the best of you."

عن سالم عن أبيه

أن رسول الله ﷺ قال وهو على المنبر إن تطعنوا في إمارته يريد أسامة بن زيد فقد طعنتم في إمارة أبيه من قبله وايم الله إن كان لخليقا لها وايم الله إن كان لأحب الناس إلي وايم الله إن هذا لها لخليق يريد أسامة بن زيد وايم الله إن كان لأحبهم إلي من بعده فأوصيكم به فإنه من صالحيكم
