The Shaykh’s issue: What is your opinion that most of the Companions were hypocrites?
The Shaykh:
In the first place, this person does not know the Companions; his intention is to belittle them. Some of them say, “The Companions were men, and we are men,” and the situation has reached the point of such talk.
The questioner:
All right.
The Shaykh:
I think this idea is derived from the Shi'ah. The Shi'ah sow discord among Muslims by hating the Companions and belittling them. I think this idea is derived from the Shi'ah.
