Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If we testify that all the Companions are in Paradise, and they died as believers, and[At-Tawbah 9:100], why do we not testify that specific individuals among them are in Paradise?
Answer:
We do not testify except with evidence, my brother. We do not testify except with evidence. However, we are certain that the Companions are in Paradise by the testimony of Allah and the testimony of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Whoever died as a Companion, whoever died as a Companion. As for the one who apostatized, he is from the people of the Fire. Yes.
