And for that reason, they insulted the best of creation after the messengers with aggression and slander (The Rafidah’s view regarding the Companions and the clarification of the virtue of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said:
"And for that reason, they insulted the best of creation after the messengers with aggression and slander"
"For that reason" means for the sake of ta'wil (figurative interpretation), "they insulted" means the Rafidah insulted the best of creation after the messengers with aggression and slander. Who are they? The Companions. The Rafidah declare the Companions to be disbelievers, except for a few and the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet's household), and all the rest are disbelievers. Some of them even explicitly state that Abu Bakr and 'Umar were disbelievers and died upon hypocrisy. There is no doubt that this statement is a necessary consequence of one who invalidates necessary consequences, because it is a defect in Allah, a defect in the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), a defect in the Shari'ah, and a defect in the best of creation. This methodology necessitates these false consequences: a defect in Allah, where He made the companions of His Messenger these people—sinners, transgressors, and traitors, may Allah protect us from that—this is their belief. It is a defect in the Messenger, where his confidants and loved ones were these sinners. And you know that a person is upon the religion of his close friend, and that a person is known by his companion. It is said, "What do you say about so-and-so?" He says, "By Allah, so-and-so keeps the company of lowly people." Is this a defect in him or not?
The student: A defect.
The Shaykh : A defect in him. Therefore, it necessitates a defect in the Companions. A defect in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is a defect in the Shari'ah, because the means by which the Shari'ah was transmitted to us are the Companions. If they were transgressors, sinners, or disbelievers, how can we trust the Shari'ah? Then we have no trust in it. It is also a defect in the Companions, who are the best of generations by the testimony of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for them. Glory be to Allah the Great, may Allah blind their insights. How do the clear Qur'anic verses pass by them, stating that the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, are the best of the nation?[Al-Fath 48:29] [At-Tawbah 9:100] [Al-Fath 48:18] [Al-Hadid 57:10] And there are many verses regarding this.
