Biography
As long as he lived, Usamah was loved and respected by the sahabah. They used to give him precedence over others because of the love of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, for him. When Umar became Khalifah he used to give him a greater pension and used to say to his son who once made the remark to him: “You are not better than him. the Prophet loved his father (Zayd) more than your father, and loved him more than you, and he appointed him a commander over me”. \r\n
