Sayyidina Usamah ibn Zayd (RA) narrated While I was sitting, Ali and Abbas came seeking permission. They said, “O Usamah, seek permission for us from Allah’s Messenger.” ﷺ I said “O Messenger of Allah, Ali and Abbas ask permission to come in.” He asked, “Do you know what has brought them here?” I said, “No.” He said, “But, I know. Give them permission.” So, they came in and said, “O Messenger of Allah, we have come to ask you which of your family member is dearest to you.” He said, “Fatimah bint Muhammad.” They said, “We have not come to ask that.” He said, “The dearest to me of my household is one on whom Allah has bestowed bounty and I have bestowed bounty, on him, Usamah ibn Zayd.” They asked, Who next?” He said, “Ali ibn Abu Talib.” So, Abbas said, “O Messenger of Allah, you have placed your uncle last of them.” He said, “Indeed, Ali preceeded you with hijrah (migration to Madinah).” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
