Book Name:Shan-e-Sahaba
Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard that according to the blessed Hadees, those who have grudge against the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم are deserving of the curse of Allah Almighty, angels and all the people. Those who disrespect the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم face the displeasure of Allah Almighty and His Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and destroy their Hereafter. Moreover, they are not even blessed with reciting the blessed Kalimah at the time of their death.
Therefore, we should adopt the company of the devotees of Rasool, Sahabah, Ahl-e-Bayt and Awliya. Ignite the flame of love of these sacred personalities in your heart and become deserving of the blessings of both worlds. Having love of the chosen people of Allah Almighty is extremely beneficial in the grave and Hereafter.
Wasilah [sake] of Sahabah saved in the grave
Commentator of the Holy Quran, Sayyiduna Abul Qaasim Bin Hibatullah Bin Salaamah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: One student of our beloved teacher passed away. Seeing him in the dream, our beloved teacher asked him: ‘How did Allah Almighty deal with you?’ He replied: ‘I have been forgiven.’ The beloved teacher inquired: ‘How was the session with Nakirayn?’ He replied: ‘Dear teacher! When Nakirayn sat me down and asked me that who is your Lord and who is your Nabi? Then Allah Almighty, through Ilhaam (instilled in my heart and) made me say to them that: ‘Leave me for the Wasilah (sake) of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا.’ Hence, one angel said to the other: ‘He has given us a very big oath. Therefore, leave him.’ Therefore, they both left me and went away.

Dear Islamic brothers! Those who love the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم are the beloveds of Allah Almighty and His Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. In fact, those fortunate people will also attain the especial proximity of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on the Day of Judgement.
The fortunate to attain the proximity of Holy Nabi
Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا narrates that the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: The one who has devotion towards my Sahabah, blessed wives and Ahl-e-Bayt (رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم), does not reproach anyone of them and
