The ruling on slandering the Companions in the books of some writers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the parties says in one of his books that when Mu'awiyah and his companion departed, they resorted to lying, deception, betrayal, and buying off people's souls. Is this a reason to slander the Companions and to be wary of reading this writer's books?
Answer:
Yes, this is an explicit slander of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), without doubt. Describing them as traitors and describing them as liars—these are the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This is taken from the books of the Shi'ah; this is taken from the books of the Rafidah. And I think he said, "It is not upon me, even if, even if this is the speech of the Rafidah, it is not upon me, even if it is the speech of the Rafidah, because this is the truth, he claims. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
