Nonetheless, there is no doubt that a ruler or the one being ruled, employer or servant, officer or labourer, doctor or patient, contractor or mason, teacher or student, the brother’s wife or the husband’s younger brother’s wife, mother-in-law or daughter-in-law, in short, the terrible disease of picking out faults is found in every status of society. When a person starts talking about the weaknesses of another person, he crosses all the limits of ethics, even blood relations become unimportant to him and sometimes he   is overcome by such misfortune that he starts mocking and مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ searches for faults in the great pious personalities like the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم. Such people should fear the hidden plan of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, because the one who acts disrespectfully toward the blessed companions is disgraced in this world and is destined to disgrace and distress after his death.

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَـلَّم said, ‘You should fear Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ as regards to my companions. Have the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Do not criticise them after me. Whoever loves them, he did so out of my love and the one who hates them, then it is due to bearing hatred towards me and whoever annoyed them he annoyed me, the one who annoyed me surely annoyed Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and whoever annoyed Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, very soon, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will call him to account.’ (Jami’ Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 463, Hadees 3888)

عَداوت اور کینہ اُن سے جو رکھتا ہے سینے میں

وہی بدبخت ہے ملعون ہے مردود شیطانی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Let me tell you a parable that has a terrible consequence of an unfortunate person who used to find faults with the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم.

Terrible consequence of finding faults with the blessed Companions

Sayyiduna Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated that a saint                رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘One of my neighbours used to make heretical statements. After his death, I saw him in a dream that he was one-eyed. I asked him,
