بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
The Sahabah Radhiyallahu Anhum are from amongst those eminent people concerning whom Almighty Allah has declared his eternal satisfaction and blessings in the Holy Qur’an. Therefore, anyone who challenges the honour and status of these great souls has indeed challenged the decree of Almighty Allah.
Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu Anhu narrates that Rasūlullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam said, “Do not insult my companions. If one of you were to spend the likes of mount Uhud in gold, it would not even reach a small portion of theirs or even half of that.” (Sahih Bukhari)
Uwaym Ibn Saa’idah Radhiyallahu Anhu narrates that Rasūlullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam said, “Allah Ta’ala selected me as his Nabi and he selected his best servants to be my companions, they are my representatives, some are my helpers and some are related to me. Whoever reviles them, may Allah’s and His angels curse be upon him. None of his deeds will be accepted on the day of Qiyaamah.” (Mustadrak Haakim)
