My dear father, how can you give the salary of Usama ibn Zayd more than my salary?
Because he was more beloved to the Prophet ﷺ than you, and because his father was more beloved to the Prophet ﷺ than your father.
During his caliphate, Umar ibn al-Khattab RA set the stipend of Usama ibn Zayd RA higher than that of his own son, Abdullah ibn Umar RA. Abdullah complained to his father about the disparity.
Umar RA's answer, that Usama and his father Zayd ibn Harithah RA were more beloved to the Prophet ﷺ than Abdullah and his own father, shows how the extraordinary closeness of Zayd and Usama to the Prophet ﷺ continued to shape their standing among the sahaba long after his passing.
