[Machine] Aisha used to say that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , never sent Zaid ibn Haritha in an army except that he made him their leader. If the Messenger of Allah had lived longer, he would have appointed Zaid as his successor. Abu Abdur Rahman said, "The name of the adopted son was Abdullah Al-Bahi."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨١٢٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَهِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ كَانَتْ تَقُولُ مَا بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ فِي جَيْشٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا أَمَّرَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَوْ بَقِيَ بَعْدَهُ لَاسْتَخْلَفَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ «اسْمُ الْبَهِيِّ عَبْدُ اللهِ»
