عن كتاب The Creed of Ahl us Sunnah wal Jama rsquo ah concerning the Sahabah:
From Allâh's mercy and kindness to His servants and from His
favor upon them is that He sent to them a Messenger from
amongst themselves, to convey to them the Message from their
Lord, to guide them to everything that benefits them, and to warn
them from everything that harms them.

Indeed the Prophet () fulfilled his duty of conveying the Mes-
sage in the most complete and perfect of manners - he directed

his Ummah towards every good, and he warned them against
every evil.
Allâh chose for accompanying him and taking knowledge from
him a people who are the best of this nation, which is itself the

best of all nations. Allâh honored them by allowing them to ac-
company His Prophet (). He favored them in this worldly life

by giving them the opportunity to see him and hear his hadîth
directly from his noble mouth. This is the bounty of Allâh which

He bestows upon whom He wills, and Allâh possesses the great-
est of bounties.

Indeed the Companions conveyed from Allâh's Messenger ()
that which he was sent with from guidance in the most complete
and perfect form. They will have the greatest of rewards due to
their companionship of Allâh's Messenger (), their fighting in
Jihâd along his side, and their noble actions in spreading Islâm.
And they will also accumulate the rewards of those who come
after them since they served as the intermediaries between them
and Allâh's Messenger (). This is due to his () saying:
“Whoever calls towards guidance, he will have a reward
equal to the reward earned by those who practice that


guidance after him, and it will not reduce anything from
their reward.”1
This hadîth has been related of the Prophet () by Muslim in his
Sahîh. Allâh praised the Companions in His Mighty Book, and
the Messenger of Allâh ( praised them in his purified Sunnah,
and this is enough for them as a virtue and honor.
Allâh says:
“And the foremost to embrace Islâm of the Muhâjirîn
and the Ansâr and also those who followed them in
goodness, Allâh is pleased with them and they are
pleased with Him. Allâh has prepared for them gardens

under which rivers flow (Paradise) to dwell therein for-
ever. That is the supreme success.” [Sûrah At-Tawbah:

100]
And He says:
“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allâh. And those who
are with him are severe against the disbelievers, merciful
towards one another. You can see them bowing and
prostrating (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allâh and
(His) Good Pleasure. Their marks (of Faith) are on their
faces (foreheads) from the traces of prostration. This is
their description in the Torah. But their description in
the Gospel is like that of a cultivated seed, which sends
forth its shoot, then makes it strong and becomes thick,
and it stands straight on its stem, pleasing the farmers,
that he may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allâh has
promised those among them who believe and do good
