Abu Ibrahim says: Do the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) all hold the same rank, or do they differ in rank?

Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought
لَا يَسْتَوِي مِنكُم مَّنْ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَThose are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But to all Allah has promised the best [reward].
أُولَٰئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أَنفَقُوا مِن بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَىٰ
