Love him, for indeed I love him

Reference: Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa v2 p496

‘Aa.ishah رضي الله عنها said:

The Prophet ﷺ wanted to wipe the nasal mucus from [the young] Usaamah ibn Zayd*, so I said to him: ‘Leave me to do it.’ And he ﷺ said:

«O ‘Aa.ishah, love him, for indeed I love him.»

Translator’s note:
*adh-Dhahabee noted that both ‘Aa.ishah and Usaamah were of the same young age.
