Dear Islamic brothers! The eminence of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم is such incomparable that no one can ever reach their status and rank. Same blessed personalities presented their physical and financial sacrifices for the uplifting of Islam. They never stopped showing patience while facing hardships in travelling to propagate Islam by leaving their homes. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, we are Muslims, the commands of Allah Almighty that we have in the shape of Holy Quran and the blessed sayings of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that we have in the shape of blessed Ahadees are also a result of the untiring efforts and struggles of these sacred personalities. Therefore, we should develop the devotion and greatness of those in our hearts who have done favours to us, spend our lives while following their footsteps, refrain from even slightest bit of their disrespect and reproach, and always keep talking good about them. (Islamic) scholars state: Whenever they (the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم) are spoken of, it is Fard to do so with goodness. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, pp. 1, Hadees 252)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Event of Sayyiduna Bishr Haafi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه

Sayyiduna Bishr Haafi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: I was once blessed with beholding the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in my dream. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to me: “O Bishr! Do you know why has Allah Almighty blessed you with a higher rank than all your contemporary Awliya?” I humbly said: “Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم I don’t know the reason for it.” Then the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: بِاِتِّباعِكَ لِسُنَّتی i.e. you follow my Sunnah. وَخِدْمَتِكَ لِلصَّالِحِيْنَ you serve the pious people. وَنَصِيْحَتِكَ لِاِ خْوَانِك you advise your Islamic brothers. وَمَحَبَّتِكَ لِاَصْحابِيْ وَاَهْلِ بَيْتِيْ you love my Companions and Ahl-e-Bayt (رِضْوَانُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِمْ اَجْمَعِیْن). This is the very reason that has elevated you to the ranks of the pious people.”
