Question:
We begin with a message from the questioner, our brother Abu 'Abdullah. He says: Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, my question is: Which of the Companions was most beloved to the heart of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and who among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) loved him and showed him the most affection?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. The Companion most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him and grant him satisfaction), who was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in all his circumstances and in all his journeys. He was constantly in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He served the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So he was the most beloved of the Companions to him. After him came 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, and 'Ali ibn Abi Talib. These are the Rightly Guided Caliphs. After them came the Muhajirun (the Emigrants), and after the Muhajirun came the Ansar (the Helpers). May Allah be pleased with them all and reward them with the best reward for Islam and the Muslims. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
