It is narrated from Jabalah bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him), the brother of Zayd bin Harithah; he said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, send my brother Zayd with me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There he is (in front of you); if he himself wishes to go, I will not stop him." Then Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, I will not choose anyone (in the world) over you." Jabalah said: (Seeing this, in my heart) I said: Surely my brother's opinion is better and superior to mine. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it, and it is a supporting witness (shahid) for the previous hadith.
