Heavenly Jewels

The Khilafat of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) is however described in the following words, "He was not able to draw water from the well. May Allah have Mercy on him." K 5. Belief: After the Khulafa-e-Raashideen, the greatest status is given to the Ashara Mubasharah (the ten persons to whom the Prophet sallal laahu alaihi wasallam gave Paradise whilst they were still in this world), then to Imam Hassan and Hussain, Then the Ashaab-e-Badr (those companions who were in battle of badr), then the Ashaab Baitur Ridwaan (those who took the oath of allegiance at the hands of the Prophet under the tree) and all of them are Paradisei without a doubt. K 6. Belief: All the companions of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) are good and just people. Whenever we address them, it should be done with utmost respect as this is fard. K 7. Belief: To have ill feeling about any companion is a sign of being misguided person. Such a person is worthy of the fire of hell. To have ill feelings concerning the Sahabi is to harbor ill feelings against the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). Such people who do this are Raafdhis, even if he accepts the Khulafa-e-Raashideen and claims to be a Sunni. To insult Ameer Muawiyah, his father Abu Sufyaan, His mother Hind is not acceptable. In the same way, to speak against Sayyidina Amr ibn Aa's, Mughira, Abu Moosa Ash'ari, or even Wahshi (who martyred Ameer-e-Hamza before he [ WahshiJ was a Muslim. It must be noted that after accepting Islam, he killed Mussailma Kazzab who was a false prophet. He used to say that he had martyred one of the best amongst the people (this he would say with sadness) and he had killed the worst amongst people (he would say this with happiness). To disrespect anyone of these companions is a sinful act and worthy of punishment. It is however not like disrespecting Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). Any one who disrespects them, is a kaafir according to the Fuqaha (Jurists). 1 1 8
