The virtue of the Companions of the Prophet

Praise be to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. May prayers and peace be always devoted to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, his companions and all Muslims are always cling to the Sunnah until the Day of Judgment He.


We glorify Muslims, the companions of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam was the one who met with the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam in a state of faith in him, and die as Muslims. They are the best of the people of this generation.

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

خير الناس قرني ثم الذين يلونهم ثم الذين يلونهم

"The best man is to my generation, then the next, then the next generation." (Hadith shohih. Narrated by al-Bukhari, no. 3651, and Muslim, no. 2533)

The companions of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has a special status in the sight of Allah Ta'ala. They have been given a gift so great that the opportunity to meet and accompany His Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Almighty God has chosen them to accompany and assist the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam in upholding his religion. God's chosen people, of course, has a special status in comparison to other human beings. Because Allah Ta'ala chose their unmistakable.

'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud radi' anhu said,

إن الله نظر في قلوب العباد فوجد قلب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم خير قلوب العباد, فاصطفاه لنفسه فابتعثه برسالته, ثم نظر في قلوب العباد بعد قلب محمد, فوجد قلوب أصحابه خير قلوب العباد فجعلهم وزراء نبيه يقاتلون على دينه, فما رأى المسلمون حسنا فهو عند الله حسن, وما رأوا سيئا فهو عند الله سيئ

"Surely God is concerned about the hearts of His servants. God hearts find Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam was the most good heart, so that God chose for Himself and sent him as a bearer of his treatise. Then God saw the hearts of His servants after Muhammad's heart. God hearts find his companions is the best heart. Therefore, God made them as His Prophet supporters who fought in defense of His religion. What is viewed favorably by the Muslims (the Companions), would have been good in the sight of Allah. What is considered bad by them, must have been bad in the sight of Allah. "(Narrated by Ahmad in al-Musnad, I/379, no. 3600. Shaykh Ahmad Shakir said that sanadnya shohih).

The companions of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam is the highest knowledge. They were the most familiar words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. They are the people who most understand about the Qur'an, because they had accompanied the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam when the revelation was revealed, so the friends really know what is desired by Allah and His Messenger sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam.

The Friends blessing radi 'anhum

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has melimpahan blessings to Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam with the friends who are so obedient and a great love for him. None of the prophet and the king who get this kind of blessing his people.

'Urwah bin Mas'ud radi' anhu, when the first still pagan, he said to his people, and tells how the companions radi 'anhum so glorify the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam. He said, "O my people! By Allah, indeed I have come to the king. I have met the Emperor, Khusraw, and an-Najasyi. By Allah, I have never seen a king who was honored by his companions beyond what the companions of Muhammad to Muhammad. For the sake of Allah, not Muhammad throw sputum expectoration but it fell into the hands of one of them, then he wiped the face and skin. If Muhammad ordered something to them, they would do it soon. If Muhammad ablution, they are almost fighting over the water droplets. If they speak, they sound slowed in front of him. They did not dare to look at him because they were great respect to him. "(Narrated by al-Bukhari in the Book of Ash-Syuruuth, V/329-332).

Compare them with the glory of the companions of the Prophet Musa 'alaihis salam. When Moses led them to believe, they say,

يا موسى لن نؤمن لك حتى نرى الله جهرة (55)

"O Moses, we will not believe you until we see God clearly." (Surat al-Baqara: 55)

Similarly, when they are invited to strive in Allah's way, they are saying to Prophet Moses' alaihis salam,

يا موسى إنا لن ندخلها أبدا ما داموا فيها فاذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا إنا هاهنا قاعدون (24)

"... Go thou with thy Lord, and fight ye two, actually we're just sitting here waiting for it." (Surah Al-Maidah: 24)

Yet the people who Allah Ta'ala told in this verse is the best of his kind 70 of Moses. As Allah the Exalted says:

واختار موسى قومه سبعين رجلا لميقاتنا ... (155)

"And Moses chose seventy of his people .." (Surat al-A'raf: 155).

This verse indicates that this is the 70 best men of the Children of Israel and the people of the Prophet Moses 'choice' alaihis salam. However, look at their attitude to the prophet, to the extent that God gives warning to them to pulsate earth they walk on, so the Prophet Moses said to God Almighty,

أتهلكنا بما فعل السفهاء منا (155)

"Will You destroy us for the deeds of people who are less intelligent among us?" (Surat al-A'raf: 155)

Prophet Musa 'alaihis salam call them as people who lack sense (stupid), even if they are the chosen people of his kind. So, how do you think the people who are with Prophet Musa, which is not an option?

On respecting the companions radi 'anhum to the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, we will not get unrivaled forever. How they lowered gaze and voice lowered in the presence of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Similarly, how they won so the spirit of grace and the rest of ablution water ripple Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, until they fight.

Rahimakumullah Muslims, need we remind you that took the blessings of the former ablution water ripple and extends only to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and not applicable to others. Muslims are not allowed to take the blessings of a ripple, the remaining ablution water or drinking water the rest of the ulama, or religious scholars ustadznya. It is therefore a mistake if the students scramble kyainya rest of drinking water because it is no special blessing on his drink. May God give us His guidance to the straight path.

Heart of The Friends of glory

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah radi 'anhu that a man came to the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, then the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam sent a man to ask his wives.

They replied, "We just had water." Then the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa salam said: "Who is willing to receive these people as guests?" Then a man from the Ansar (ie Abu Talha radi' anhu) said, "I am willing. "

Then he came home with his guest to the house. He said to his wife, "Honor Guest Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam." His wife said, "But we do not have anything other than food children's meals."

The man said to his wife, "Prepare food, turn on the lights, tidurkanlah your children if we want to eat dinner." So, she prepared food, turn on the lights, and lull her children.

Then she stood up as if to fix the lights, but instead put it out. Then the man and his wife appeared to his guests that they both also eat (but not eat). In the evening, they spend the night in a state of hunger.

In the morning, the man departed to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Then the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Last night God to act amazed you two. Allah Ta'ala then lowered (his word):

ويؤثرون على أنفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة ومن يوق شح نفسه فأولئك هم المفلحون (9)

"And they put (Emigrants), on his own, although they also require. And who's kept himself from avarice, then they are the lucky ones. "(Surat al-Hashr: 9). (Hadith shohih. Narrated by al-Bukhari, no. 3798 and Muslim, no. 2054)

Generosity and noble qualities are not confined to a few people. But this is the nature of the companions of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam.
