He says: May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on the one who says that it is not obligatory to remain silent regarding what occurred among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), but rather that explanation is necessary?

What explanation? The faults of the Companions? We ask Allah for safety from that. What has Allah burdened you with this? Allah has burdened you with loving them, praising them, and excusing them. This is your duty toward the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Yes.
