Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Regarding the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2676Sahih (Darussalam), does that mean that the statement of any Companion who contradicted them—specifically those who contradicted Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and Ali—is considered rejected?
Answer:
You know the ruling regarding the statement of a Companion in the principles of jurisprudence, specifically in the principles where there is disagreement. The statement of a Companion is considered evidence if no other Companion contradicted him. However, if another Companion contradicted him, it is not considered evidence, because he is not more deserving of being followed than his fellow Companion. But if no Companion contradicted him, his statement is evidence.
