Sahih al-Bukhari 6916 (Book 93, Hadith 49)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the people), “If you are criticizing his leadership now, then you used to criticize
his father’s leadership before. By Allah, he (Usama’s father) deserved the leadership and used to be
one of the most beloved persons to me, and now his son (Usama) is one of the most beloved persons
to me after him. ” (See Hadith No. 745, Vol. 5)
“ إِنْ تَطْعَنُوا فِي إِمَارَتِهِ فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَطْعَنُونَ فِي إِمَارَةِ أَبِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَخَلِيقًا لِلإِمْرَةِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ بَعْدَهُ ”.
