you? He answered: They made me sit and began to ask me questions.      Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ placed this in my heart and I said to them: Leave me for the sake of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا. Upon hearing this, one angel said to the other, he has presented the names of honourable, saintly intercessors therefore, leave him. Hence, they left me and returned.

Dear Islamic brothers! Those who love the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم are beloved to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. In fact, those fortunate people will be granted the special privilege of closeness to the Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on the Day of Judgement.

Proximity of Noblest Prophet صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم for the fortunate people

Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا narrated, the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Whoever has devotion towards my blessed companions, Azwaaj (blessed wives of our Beloved Prophet) and Ahl-e-Bayt (رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم) and does not criticize any of them and departs from this world with their love, he will be with me on the Day of Judgement under my rank.

(Ar-Riyad-un-Nadarah, vol. 1, pp. 22)

There is also a glad tiding of deliverance for the devotee of blessed companions. Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated, the Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘مَنۡ اَحۡسَنَ الۡقَوۡلَ فِيۡ اَصۡحَابِيۡ فَقَدۡ بَرِئَ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ’ i.e., whoever spoke well of my blessed companions has sought deliverance from hypocrisy. (Ar-Riyad-un-Nadarah, vol. 1, pp. 22)
