The Merits of the Sahaabah The virtue of the

Sahaabah
Quran An-Nisa' 4:59 : O you who have believed, obey Allāh
and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.
And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allāh and the
Messenger, if you should believe in Allāh and the Last Day.
That is the best [way] and best in result.
 
Prophet Muhammad pbuh said in authentic hadiths to follow
his companions sahabas if we want to be on the correct path
which leads to paradise because they learned directly from
the prophet of Islam:
 
The hadeeth was also narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2641) as
follows: “My ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of
whom will be in the Fire except one sect.” They said: Who are
they, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “[Those who follow] the
path which I and my companions follow.” It was classed as
hasan by Ibn al-‘Arabi in Ahkaam al-Qur’an (3/432), al-‘Iraqi in
Takhreej al-Ihya’ (3/284) and al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.
 
 
On the authority of Abu Najeeh al-’Irbaad ibn Saariyah (may
Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave us a sermon
by which our hearts were filled with fear and tears came to
our eyes. So we said, “O Messenger of Allah! It is as though
this is a farewell sermon, so counsel us.” He (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “I counsel you to have
taqwa (fear) of Allah, and to listen and obey [your leader],
even if a slave were to become your ameer. Verily he among
you who lives long will see great controversy, so you must
keep to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of the Khulafa ar-
Rashideen (the rightly guided caliphs), those who guide to
the right way. Cling to it stubbornly [literally: with your molar
teeth]. Beware of newly invented matters [in the religion], for
verily every bidah (innovation) is misguidance.”[Abu Dawud]
It was related by at-Tirmidhi, who said that it was a good and
sound hadeeth. Hadith 28, 40 Hadith an-Nawawi
 
Allah pleased with sahabas :
“Indeed, Allaah was pleased with the believers when they
gave the Bay‘ah (pledge) to you (O Muhammad) under the
tree, He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down
As‑Sakeenah (calmness and tranquillity) upon them, and He
rewarded them with a near victory” [al-Fath 48:18] Quran
 
Allah promises paradise to sahabahs:
At-Taubah 9:100 Quran: And the foremost to embrace Islâm of
the Muhâjirûn (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-
Madinah) and the Ansâr (the citizens of Al-Madinah who
helped and gave aid to the Muhâjirûn ) and also those who
followed them exactly (in Faith). Allâh is well-pleased with
them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for
them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell
therein forever. That is the supreme success.
 
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased
with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not revile my companions,
for by the One in Whose hand is my soul, if one of you were
to spend the equivalent of Uhud (Uhud Mountain) in gold, it
would not amount to a mudd of one of them, or half of that.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3673) and Muslim (2540). Authentic
 
It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “The best of the people are my
generation, then those who come after them, then those who
come after them.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2652) and Muslim
(2533). Authentic

blessings be upon him, said, “The most merciful of my nation
is Abu Bakr. The strictest of them in the religion of Allah is
Umar. The most sincerely conscientious of them is Uthman.
The wisest of them in judgment is Ali ibn Abi Talib. The best
reciter of the Book of Allah among them is Ubay ibn Ka’b. The
best of them in the rules of inheritance is Zayd ibn Thabit. The
most knowledgeable of them in the lawful and the unlawful is
Mu’adh ibn Jabal. No doubt, every nation has a trustee and
the trustee of this nation is Abu ‘Ubayda ibn al-
