The indication of the Companions’ (may Allah be pleased with them) exaltation of Abu Bakr and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and we find today those who cast aspersions on them; what is your guidance?

The questioner : Abu Bakr and 'Umar, O Shaykh, their status with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ... and the Companions’ respect for them, Shaykh, this is a known matter, and some people today find nothing pleasing to them except ... regarding the Companions, and the Rafidah today ... from this ... because of their hatred for them?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, and even more so, because casting aspersions on Abu Bakr and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is casting aspersions on the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), for Abu Bakr and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) are his most intimate companions. Therefore, casting aspersions on them is casting aspersions on the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, it is casting aspersions on the wisdom of the Lord (Mighty and Majestic) in making the most intimate companions of this Prophet, who is the most noble of creation in the sight of Allah, the most noble of people in the sight of Allah, to be these two men who are abhorred by the Rafidah. There is no doubt that this has false implications. Yes.
