The student: ... Did this ... regarding salvation from the Fire ... the Companions, as ...?
The Shaykh : Yes, they mentioned that it is established, and Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned this in "al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya", saying: There is no sign for a previous prophet that was not a sign for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or even greater. However, some of these occurred to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) personally, and some occurred to his Ummah. What occurred to his Ummah is among his signs, because it testifies to the truth of the path upon which they are, and thus it is among the signs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
