were chosen by Allah Almighty for the company of His Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and serving   of the Deen. Hence, realise their excellence and dignity. Follow their ways and footsteps. Adopt their character and Seerah as much as possible as undoubtedly, these individuals were firm on the right path.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you see that how beautifully Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ conveyed the Madani pearls in relation to the dignity and importance of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم? No doubt, every companion of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, who was given Tarbiyyah (edification) by the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, is an embodiment and source of guidance. It is for the reason because in the entire Ummah, it was only the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم who received the privilege of attaining the proximity and company of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. And due to this reason, they attained such excellence and dignity that cannot be attained by anyone else who is not a Sahabi. Therefore, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘If any one of you donate gold to the amount of a mountain cannot even be equal to the 1.25 kg barley, or even half of that, donated by my companion.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 522, Hadees 3673)

Commenting on this blessed Hadees, Hakeem-ul-Ummat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: i.e. If my companion donates 1.25 kg of barley, and any other Muslim other than them (Sahabah), whether he is a Ghaus or Qutb or an ordinary Muslim, donates gold to the amount of a mountain, then his donated gold cannot reach the ranks of proximity and acceptance in the court of Allah Almighty which was reached by the 1.25 kg donation of a companion. Same is the case with Sawm, Salah and all other acts of worship. When the Salah offered in Masjid-e-Nabawi carries 50,000 times more reward than the Salahs offered at any other place, then what can be said about those who attained the blessed proximity of the Holy Rasool  صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and beheld him, and what can be said about the acts of worship they carried out. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, pp. 174)
