Questions on the Explanation of the Book of Nullifiers of Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who hates the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is he included among those who commit the nullifiers of Islam?

Answer:
Yes, whoever hates the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that is evidence of hypocrisy; no one hates the Companions except a hypocrite. This is evidence of his hypocrisy. In fact, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) called it disbelief. He said, Glorified is He,
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostratingمُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ تَرَاهُمْ رُكَّعًا سُجَّدًا
[Al-Fath 48:29]
up to His saying, "so that the disbelievers may be grieved by them." So Allah (Mighty and Majestic) made the Companions a cause of grief for the disbelievers. Therefore, the one who hates the Companions, that is evidence of his disbelief and hypocrisy. We ask Allah for safety. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
So Allah (Mighty and Majestic) described the believers as those who seek mercy and make supplication for those who came before them,
Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers whoرَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ
[Al-Hashr 59:10]
those who came after them.
When He mentioned the Muhajireen and the Ansar in Surat al-Hashr, He said after that,
And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "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."وَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ
[Al-Hashr 59:10]
This is the Muslim’s position regarding the Companions: he seeks forgiveness for them, is pleased with them, and says, “Our brothers who preceded us in faith,” and he praises them.
