Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he asks about the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them): are they all in the same rank, or do they differ in reward?
Answer:
They differ in reward. The Messengers also differed, for Allah granted some of them a higher rank than others. So they differ: the first to be among the foremost are better than those who came after them, and those who embraced Islam before the Conquest are better than those who embraced Islam after the Conquest, which was the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. Yes.
