The Muslim's Obligation Toward the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the Muslim's obligation toward the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Our obligation toward them is to love them, to know their virtue, and to respect them. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Do not revile my Companions; by him in whose hand my soul is, if one of you contributed the amount of gold equivalent to Uhud, it would not amount to as much as the mudd of one of them, or half of it.لا تسبوا أصحابي فهو الذي نفسي بيده لو أنفق أحدكم مثل أحد ذهب ما بلغ مد أحدهم ولا نصيفه
Sunan Abi Dawud 4658Sahih (Al-Albani)
means that those who came after them do not equal them, because they are distinguished by their companionship with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), their seeing of him, and their learning from him (peace and blessings be upon him), receiving knowledge from him (peace and blessings be upon him). So their virtue is such that no one equals them in it. May Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction. Their right upon us is to love them, to speak well of them, and to defend them from anyone who speaks ill of them or of any one of them. Yes.

May Allah reward you
