One day Ibn ʿUmar, while in the Mosque, looked at a man who was dragging his clothes while walking in one of the corners of the Mosque He said, "See who is that. I wish he was near to me." Somebody then said (to Ibn ʿUmar), "Don't you know him, O Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman? He is Muhammad bin Usama." On that Ibn ʿUmar bowed his head and dug the earth with his hands and then, said, "If Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him, he would have loved him."
انْظُرْ مَنْ هَذَا لَيْتَ هَذَا عِنْدِي قَالَ لَهُ إِنْسَانٌ أَمَا تَعْرِفُ هَذَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ قَالَ فَطَأْطَأَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَأْسَهُ وَنَقَرَ بِيَدَيْهِ فِي الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَحَبَّهُ
