It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that on one occasion the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) as the leader over some people. The people objected to his leadership. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found out, he stood up and said: "If you are objecting to his leadership, then this is nothing new; before this, you also objected to his father's leadership. By Allah! He was worthy of leadership and was the most beloved to me among the people, and now this son of his is, after him, the most beloved to me. Therefore, accept my advice to treat him well, for he is your best companion." Whenever Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated this hadith, he would always make an exception for Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her).
