Sometimes we hear of the disputes between Muawiyah
radiAllahu an and the children of Ali ibn
Abi Talib radiAllahu anhu. Allah's peace and blessings
be upon all of them. And we become
big judges and big champions in that. And
we start saying this man was cursed and
that man was this
and this one was the other one. Yet
Mu'awiya
was one of those who also was selected
to write part of the wahi, part of
the revelation. So once we start swearing and
cursing him, what will happen? We begin to
doubt revelation, aoodubillah.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us from
the devil and from his plan. So it
is extremely important for us to know the
reasoning behind Allah
instruction to us to respect the companions of
Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wasallam. One of these reasons
is because your entire deen has come through
them. They have sacrificed. If we are to
discount their effort and disrespect them, we begin
to lose respect for the deen itself.
Some people begin
to curse
the status
of the young companions of Muhammad
such as Abu Huraira radiallahu an. And they
begin to issue remarks that are very derogatory
by saying, oh, he was only with Rasulullah
salallahu alaihi wa sallam for a very short
period of time. How can he have narrated
so many hadith? Allah grants barakah to whomsoever
he wishes.
Sometimes the youngest from amongst us has memorized
the Quran much stronger than the older ones
from amongst us. It is the choice of
Allah
Some of our children have made a greater
effort in learning the deen than some of
the older ones. And sometimes it's the blessings
given by Allah, the ability given by Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala. So when we say, Abu
Hurayyah radiAllahu an, we need to know that
his proper name was Abdul Rahman ibn Musaqh.
And we also need to know that we
will say
And we also need to know that the
bulk of the hadith and the the sayings
and the life of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
came via that particular companion when Rasulullah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam had made a dua for
him, and when he was a person who
really made a great effort in conveying the
message of Muhammad
So don't let allow don't let anyone allow
you
or do not let anyone con you into
believing that we are allowed to speak bad
about this companion and that one and this
one. Because if that is the case, we
lose the value of the deen. And this
is why when it comes to Umar ibn
Khattab radiallahu an, we find some people bad
mouthing him,
Whereas the hadith of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
Do you know what he says? He says,
if Umar ibn Khattab was walking down a
certain gully or alley,
shaitan would never walk down the same gully
or alley, but he would walk down a
different one.
And another narration says that if there were
to be a Messenger after Muhammad
perhaps it would have been the likes of
Umar ibn Khattab
The reason is many times
he utters statements in his life which were
later confirmed by the revelation
of Allah
Sometimes he uttered certain words.
And when he was asked for advice, sometimes
he gave certain advice.
And later on the Quran came to confirm
the opinion of Umar bin Fattah
May Allah
peace and blessings be upon all of them.
My brothers and sisters, what a powerful topic.
What powerful people. We have no standing in
front of them. We are only known because
we have taken from their teachings.
Today, if we were to remove the teachings
of the companions of Muhammad
we would have no Quran in our midst.
We would have nothing to talk about. We
wouldn't even be gathered here. You would not
even know me nor would I have an
inclination of who you were. Subhanallah.
But if it is because of their sacrifice
and Allah having chosen them that the message
has come down.
