The Shaykh : The sons of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) are among the Companions, because Allah the Exalted says:
Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ
[Al-Ahzab 33:40]
