The ruling on saying that the archers in the Battle of Uhud were traitors

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I heard a person say about the archers who were in the Battle of Uhud and disobeyed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that they are traitors. So how should one deal with the person who holds this view?

Answer:
This is the traitor who speaks about the Companions; this is the traitor, and I seek refuge in Allah. It is not permissible to speak about the Companions or to investigate what happened with them, for Allah is pleased with them, has pardoned them, and has praised them. It is not permissible for a person to look for their faults, may Allah be pleased with them. It is obligatory for him to look for his own faults and his own stumbles, and to investigate his own defects. It is not permissible for you to look for the faults of people other than the Companions, so how can you look for the faults of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them? Yes.
