Book Name:Shan e Sahaba

can never achieve the distinction of any blessed Sahabi. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has bestowed these guiding stars with such a prominent position that all other saints can never imagine to have that elevation & notability. Though, many miracles may not have been displayed by the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم as compared to the blessed saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی; but remember that an abundance of miracles is not the evidence of superiority, because Wilayat (sainthood) means closeness to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. The more one attains this quality, the higher rank he possesses. Since the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم imbued with the blessings of the most Renowned and Revered Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم so the Divine proximity they have, is uniquely only for them.

Dear Islamic brothers! It is understood that the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم have been elevated to such an unmatched stage by blessing them with a highly revered status that it would be impossible for anyone else to reach, these blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم rendered matchless sacrifices in which they not only devoted all their possessions for the revival and propagation of Islam but they also never hesitated to lay down their lives by undergoing great tribulations while at the time of migration.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! We are Muslims, today, we have Divine commands in the form of the Glorious Quran and blessed sayings of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the form of Ahadees-e-Karimah; this is also the outcome of their lifelong struggles; therefore, we should have true devotion and affection towards them by treading in their footsteps continue refraining from any kind of insulting actions or talks and always keeping ourselves engaged in glorifying them.

The blessed scholars state: Whenever the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم are mentioned, it is obligatory to honor them with high and glowing praises. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 252)
