Explanation of the author's statement: "And they are the most upright in action, and the most resolute in determination" (Discussion of what happened to the Companions in the Battle of Uhud and the Battle of Banu Quraizah)

The Shaykh : He says likewise "they are the most upright in action". The Companions are the most upright people in action; there is no doubt about this. And likewise "the most resolute in determination". No one is ever more resolute in determination than the Companions. They were cutting, severing swords (may Allah be pleased with them). So look at on their day. They said, "By Allah, we will not rest today until we reach the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). O Messenger of Allah? Here, let us rest; we have not been given respite. We will set up our camp until we stand up, then they left and went out? No, they went straight on. And they said, 'We will not pray the 'Asr prayer except in Banu Quraizah' (may Allah be pleased with them). And when they were struck by what they were struck by on the Day of Uhud, and it was said to them and they responded to Allah after what befell them, and to the Messenger after the wounds befell them. Yes, and they volunteered for battle. These are the true determinations: the determinations of believing, sincere men. As for the one who hesitates and is lazy, there is no doubt that those after them are less than them in this matter, even though jihad occurred among the Tabi'un in the time of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, it was far less than that of the Companions. And were it not for the Companions, these would not have proceeded or advanced. Yes.
