Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the Companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are the Muhajireen and the Ansar, so is there a third type of Companion of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Everyone who met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while believing in him, everyone who met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while believing in him and died upon that, is a Companion, whether from the Muhajireen, or from the Ansar, or from others. So the criterion is this: this is the definition of a Companion according to the scholars: one who met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while believing in him and died upon that. Yes.
