وَعَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ فَرَضَ لِأُسَامَةَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافٍ وَخَمْسِمِائَةٍ وَفَرَضَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافٍ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لِأَبِيهِ: لِمَ فَضَّلْتَ أُسَامَة عَليّ؟ فو الله مَا سَبَقَنِي إِلَى مَشْهَدٍ. قَالَ: لِأَنَّ زَيْدًا كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَبِيكَ وَكَانَ أُسَامَةُ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْكَ فَآثَرْتُ حِبُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حبي. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
`Umar allotted to Usama three thousand five hundred and to `Abdallah b. `Umar three thousand, so `Abdallah b. Umar said to his father, "Why have you treated Usama as superior to me? I swear by God that he has never got to any battle before me." He replied, "It is because Zaid was dearer to God's messenger than your father and Usama was dearer to God's messenger than you, so I have given preference to the one who was beloved by God's messenger over the one who is loved by me. Tirmidhi transmitted it.
