Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some people say that al-Najashi was a Companion of the intermediate generation. What is the accuracy of this?
The Shaykh : No, that is incorrect. It is not correct. He was not a Companion. He did not meet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). However, he was a person of the intermediate generation, in a class between the Companions and the Successors. He is higher than the Successors, but lower than the Companions.
