Jabalat ibn Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: “O Messenger of Allah, send my brother Zayd with me.” He said: “Here he is 1.” He said: “If he goes with you, I will not prevent him.” Zayd said: “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I would not choose anyone over you.” He said: I saw my brother’s opinion as better than my own.
