The Ruling on Delving into the Matters of the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And peace be upon him, they call upon him to say that those who call and those who hit the mark.
Answer:
What is involved in this? What is involved in the matter of the Companions? The line is drawn, one stops and refrains from this matter. What is the benefit in saying that so-and-so’s hadiths are erroneous, or that so-and-so a Companion delved into it? What is our benefit in this? Have we been tasked with this? Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:[Al-Hashr 59:10] They came after them, after the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). So their position is to seek forgiveness for them and to love them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
