The Ruling on Delving into What Occurred Among the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Is there anyone who says that it is obligatory for us to delve into what occurred among the Companions and not to sanctify them?
Answer:
This is a wretched person, this is a wretched person, leave him alone. This man hates the Companions and loves fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). And what does he say about the Companions? Their time has passed, they are gone[Al-Hashr 59:10]. When 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about that, he said: "Those are people from whom Allah has purified our hands of their blood, so we purify our tongues from their slander." So it is not permissible. But this is a wretched person and a caller to misguidance, leave him alone. Yes. And Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, in al-Wasitiyyah, the 'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah, says: "And among the principles of the people of the Sunnah and the community is the purity of their hearts and tongues regarding the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Yes. This is what the Companions were spared from his tongue, and may Allah protect us, and his pen and his foulness. Yes.

"Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful."
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌThe presenter:
