The discussion of what occurred between Mu'awiyah and 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The discussion of what occurred between Mu'awiyah and 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) has now spread among some people.
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to speak about the Companions, nor is it permissible to speak about what took place between them; because they were those who exercised independent legal reasoning (ijtihad), and the one among them who was correct has two rewards, while the one who was wrong has one reward. They have the companionship of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), which no one else can attain. They have virtues, and they have righteous deeds. So it is not permissible to speak about them. Only one who is deluded, may Allah protect us from that, enters into this. The one who enters into matters concerning the Companions and what took place between them is deluded; we ask Allah for well-being. And no one enters into this except an enemy of the Companions who wants to spread hatred of them among the people, such as the Shi'ah and those who resemble them. Yes.
