Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We previously discussed with you in Surat al-Hashr, at the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faithوَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ
[Al-Hashr 59:10]
. It was established with us that this verse is evidence that those who insult and curse the Companions have no share of the fay' (war spoils). What is the indication from that?

Answer:
Because the verses are in the context of distributing the fay' (war spoils)
And what Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns - it is for Allah and for the Messengerمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَىٰ فَلِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ
[Al-Hashr 59:7]
. Then He said to the poor emigrants. Then He said, “And those who settled in the land,” meaning the Ansar. The fay' is distributed to these people. Then He said, “And those who came after them,” meaning after the Companions, who follow them, pray for them, and support them. They have the fay', they have a share of the fay'. As for those who insult the Companions, they have nothing of the fay' and they do not take the rulings of the Muslims in this matter. Yes.
