The ruling on one who doubts the virtues of the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Musa. And if the Christians were asked, “Who are the best of you?” they would say, “The companions of Isa.” And if these people were asked, “Who are your companions?” they would say, “The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).” We ask Allah for safety.
The Shaykh:
So this is a very serious issue. Yes.
The questioner:
And whoever does not testify to those to whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) testified that they would enter Paradise, is a person of religious innovation and misguidance, doubting what he said.
