Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a Sunni Muslim, and my problem is that when I look at the Companions, I love 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) intensely, more than the others. Is there anything wrong with my faith in this?
Answer:
Yes. I love Abu Bakr first, then 'Umar, then 'Uthman, then 'Ali. Their order in virtue is the same as their order in the caliphate. Yes.
