Narrator:Jabala ibn Hāritha
وَعَن جبلة بن حارثةَ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْعَثْ مَعِي أَخِي زَيْدًا. قَالَ: «هُوَ ذَا فَإِنِ انْطَلَقَ مَعَكَ لَمْ أَمْنَعْهُ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَخْتَارُ عَلَيْكَ أَحَدًا. قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ رَأْيَ أَخِي أَفْضَلَ مِنْ رَأْيِي. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Jabala b. Haritha said:
I came to God's messenger and said, "Messenger of God, send my brother Zaid along with me." He replied, "Here he is; if he goes with you, I shall not prevent him." But when Zaid said, "Messenger of God, I swear to God that I choose no one in preference to you," I considered my brother's opinion better than mine. Tirmidhi transmitted it
