حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَسْمَعُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أَمَّرَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ عَابُوا أُسَامَةَ وَطَعَنُوا فِي إِمَارَتِهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ أَلَا إِنَّكُمْ تَعِيبُونَ أُسَامَةَ وَتَطْعَنُونَ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ وَقَدْ فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَبِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَخَلِيقًا لِلْإِمَارَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَأَحَبَّ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ إِلَيَّ وَإِنَّ ابْنَهُ هَذَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ لَأَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ خِيَارِكُمْ قَالَ سَالِمٌ مَا سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يُحَدِّثُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَطُّ إِلَّا قَالَ مَا حَاشَا فَاطِمَةَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5848
Saalim narrated from his father that he used to hear him narrate from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) that when he appointed Usaamah ibn Zayd (in charge of an army), news reached him that the people were criticising Usaamah and objecting to his command. The Messenger Allah (PBUH) stood before the people and said, according to what Saalim told me: "You are criticising Usaamah and objecting to his command, and you did the same to his father before. But he was fit to command and he was one of the dearest of people to me, and this son of his is one of the dearest of people to me after him. So treat him well, for he is one of the best of you," Saalim said: I never heard 'Abdullah narrate this hadeeth but he said: Except Faatimah.
