The Family of the Messenger SAWS, the Companions and The Scholars of the Ummah

Between them was love
Between them was mercy
Between them was respect
They were not infallible, not angels but they were the best of the best

Ibn al Sa’dee said “Love of the Family of the Messenger SAWS is an obligation due to many reasons: They embraced Islam early, they were close to the Messenger SAWS in terms of lineage and He SAWS ordered us to love them”.

Imam Malik said that the Salaf use to teach their children the love of Abu Bakr and Umar as they would teach them a surah of the Quran.

Ibn Qudamah said “It is from the Sunnah to be pleased
with the wives of the Messenger SAWS, the mothers of the believers, the pure and innocent.
The best of them Khadijah bint Khuwailid and Ayesha al-Sideeqah daughter of al-Sideeq who Allah made innocent in His book, the wife of the Prophet SAWS in this world and the next. Whoever slanders her with regards to what Allah stated she’s innocent of is a disbeliever in Allah.

Ibn Kathir said the one who slanders Ayesha after Allah clearing her of all doubt is a disbeliever.

Examples of their love for one another:

The Messenger SAWS married Ayesha, the daughter of Abu Bakr.
The Messenger SAWS married Hafsa, the daughter of Umar.
The Messenger SAWS married his two daughters, Ruqayyah and Umm Kulthum to Uthman.
The Messenger SAWS married his daughter Fatimah to Ali
Ali married his daughter Umm Kulthum to Umar.
Abaan, theson of Uthman married Umm al Qasim bint Hasan ibn Hasan ibn Ali.

Ali named some of his sons Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman.
Hasan had a son named Abu Bakr and one Umar.
Musa al Kazim had a daughter named Ayesha, one named umm salamah, a son named Abu Bakr and one Umar.

Umar said to Al Abaas “By Allah, your embrace of Islam was dearer to me than even if al-Khataab embraced because your Islam was dearer to the Messenger SAWS than the Islam of al-Khataab”

Ibn Kathir said in al-Bidaayah wa al-Nihaayah abut Hasan “and al-Sideeq use to honour, glorify and respect him and so did Umar ibn al-Khatab.

Abu Bakr said “By the one in whose hand my soul is, to honour the family of the Messenger SAWS is dearer to me than to honour my family”

Ibn Abaas said that Ali said when he entered upon Umar ibn al-Khataab after Umar was stabbed “There is no one’s deeds that I would love to meet Allah with except yours”

Ibn Abaas said {The servants that Allah chose} are the companions of the Messenger (saw).

Jabir ibn Abdillah said “Whoever Allah is pleased with cannot die upon kufr, the pleasure of Allah only applies to those who die upon Islam”

From the honour and respect of Ali towards Abu Bakr and Umar is that
when he was asked by his son Muhammed ibn al-Hanafiyya “Who is best after the Messenger SAWS?” He said “Abu Bakr”. I said “and then who?” He said “then Umar”. I felt he would say Uthman next and so I asked “and then you?” He said “I am only a man from amongst the Muslim

Imam Malik said with regards to those who slander the companions of the Messenger SAWS “Verily they wanted to slander the Messenger SAWS but were unable so they slandered his companions so it might be said that he was an evil man and had he been righteous, his companions would have been righteous too” and “Whoever slanders the companions has no share in Islam”

“Do not smear the companions for verily your adversary will be the Messenger SAWS tomorrow” said Imam Shafee.

Imam Muhammed ibn Abdul wahaab due to his love for the family of the Messenger (saw) named his sons Ali, Hasan, Husain and his daughter Fatima.

Imam Ahmed said whoever prefers Ali over Abu Bakr has insulted the Messenger (saw)
Abu Zur’ah said the one who curses the companions is a Zindeeq while Imam al Mawardee said his testimony is rejected.

Imam Malik said that those who harbour malice against the companions should have no share of the booty attained by Muslims

Ibn Taymiya said whoever claims all the companions left the fold of Islam but a few after the demise of the Messenger SAWS has himself disbelieved.

Ibn Taymiya said “From the principles of Ahlus Sunnah is to have clean hearts and tongues for the Companions of the Messenger (saw) and to love the family of the Messenger (saw)…”

Know that whoever discredits any of the companions of Muhammed SAWS in reality intends the Muhammed SAWS and causes him distress said Imam Barbahari.
Imam Al Aajuree said “Upon the killers of Husain is the curse of Allah…

Ibn Abaas said that “His Chosen servants” refer to the companions of Muhammed (saw).

Imam Malik said that some wanted to find fault with Islam but couldn’t so took to finding fault with the companions.

Ibn Kathir said that “We do not deny any commandment with regards to treating the family of the Prophet (saw) with excellence, respect and honour”

IbnTaymiya said there is no doubt that the family of Muhammed (saw) have an exclusive right on the Ummah.

Imam Malik also said that the one who has ill feelings towards the companions has fallen under the verse {So that they may infuriate the disbelievers}. 48:29

May Allah unite us with the Messenger SAWS, His family and companions.
