Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There is a hadith:Sunan Abi Dawud 4658Sahih (Al-Albani) And another hadith from him (peace and blessings be upon him) says that the strangers among them have the reward of fifty. It was asked: From us or from them? He said: From you. Can it be said that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) are superior in deed to those who came after them, except for the strangers?
Answer:
No, the Companions; no one equals them in virtue. But the strangers in the end times received virtue because of their steadfastness upon the truth, despite the many who opposed them and denied them. And with this, they remained steadfast upon the truth, so they received the great reward. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There is a hadith:
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.
الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم لو أنفق أحدكم مثل أحد ذهبا ما بلغ مد أحدهم ولا نصيفهAnswer:
No, the Companions; no one equals them in virtue. But the strangers in the end times received virtue because of their steadfastness upon the truth, despite the many who opposed them and denied them. And with this, they remained steadfast upon the truth, so they received the great reward. Yes.
