The ruling on asking the Companions for supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith in Muslim where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
The Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him.
The questioner : To one of the Companions: "Aws will come to you." Does this mean you should ask him to make supplication for you? Yes. There is no contradiction.
The Shaykh : If he sees you, let him ask him to seek forgiveness for him. Yes, indeed.
The questioner : There is no contradiction between this and that.
The Shaykh : No, there is no contradiction, because this is specific to this man. Otherwise, Aws is not better than Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and the other Companions.
