The eminence of the companions of Badr through the Quran

It is stated in verse 11, Surah ‘Al-Mujadalah’, Part 28:

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا قِیْلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوْا فِی الْمَجٰلِسِ فَافْسَحُوْا یَفْسَحِ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْۚ-وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ انْشُزُوْا فَانْشُزُوْا یَرْفَعِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْۙ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجٰتٍؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ(۱۱)

O believers! When you are told to make space (for your brothers to sit) in gatherings, so make space; Allah will give you space (by giving you respect and prosperity); and when it is said, ‘Stand up (for Salah or Jihaad),’ then stand up; Allah will raise the ranks of the (excellent) believers amongst you and those who have been given knowledge. And Allah is Aware of your deeds.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 28, Surah Al-Mujaadalah, Verse 11)
