Defining the Companion.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, as for the Companions of the Messenger, every person who believed in him (peace and blessings be upon him), met him, and died upon that faith is one of his Companions. For this reason, the scholars stated that the most comprehensive definition of a Companion is one who met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while believing in him and died upon that faith.
