كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِي وَيَدِ الْحَسَنِ فَيَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُمَا فَأَحِبَّهُمَا»

كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْخُذُنِي فَيُقْعِدُنِي عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَيُقْعِدُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْأُخْرَى ثُمَّ يَضَعُنَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ أَحِبَّهُمَا فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّهُمَا»  

nasai-kubra:8129Hārūn b. Mūsá > Muḥammad b. Fulayḥ > Mūsá b. ʿUqbah > al-Zuhrī > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh > ʿAbdullāh

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent troops appointed Usama bin Zaid as their commander. The people criticized his leadership. Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and said, "If you (people) are criticizing his (i.e. Usama's) leadership you used to criticize the leadership of his father before. By Allah, he (i.e. Zaid) deserved the leadership indeed, and he used to be one of the most beloved persons to me, and now this (i.e. his son, Usama) is one of the most beloved persons to me after him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4469)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٨١٢٩أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ

طَعَنَ النَّاسُ فِي إِمَارَةِ ابْنِ زَيْدٍ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنْ تَطْعَنُوا فِي إِمَارَةِ ابْنِ زَيْدٍ فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْعَنُونَ فِي إِمَارَةِ أَبِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ وَايْمُ اللهِ إِنْ كَانَ حَقِيقًا لِلْإِمَارَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لِمَنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ إِلَيَّ وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَأُحِبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَهُ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ خِيَارِكُمْ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Usama to deliver the message that people were criticizing and finding fault in his leadership. He said, "You criticize Usama and find fault in his leadership, even though you did the same to his father before. Even if he was not fit for leadership, he is the most beloved person to me. And his son after him is the most beloved person to me. Treat him well, as he is among your best." Salim said, "I have never heard Abdullah bin Umar narrate this hadith without adding, 'May Allah protect Fatima.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨١٣٠أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَافَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

أَمَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَعِيبُونَ أُسَامَةَ وَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ تَعِيبُونَ أُسَامَةَ وَتَطْعَنُونَ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ وَقَدْ فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَبِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلِ 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 فَمَا سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَطُّ إِلَّا قَالَ مَا حَاشَا فَاطِمَةَ
