Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does not one who insults the Companions thereby belittle Allah the Exalted, since it is He (Exalted and Majestic is He) who chose the Companions to be the companions of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Yes. The one who describes the Companions in a negative way is lying to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and lying to His Messenger, because Allah praised them and spoke well of them, while this person disparages them. This is lying to Allah, and it is also lying to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
