All the praises and thanks be to Allaah, Sustainer of the Universe, and blessing and salutation to be the most distinguish of the Messengers and foremost among the Prophets, our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allaah be on him and on his wives, children and Companions.
In the
treatise we will inSha Allaah discuss the fact that all the Sahabah صحابه رضى الله
عنهم و رضواعنه (Companions) are the people of Paradise,
and they must be followed! In support of above fact, I would like to present
the evidence from Glorious Qur’aan and Ahadeeth that is as follows:
Surah
At-Tauba 100
وَالسَّابِقُونَ
الْأَوَّلُونَ
مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ
وَالْأَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ
اتَّبَعُوهُمْ
بِإِحْسَانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ
عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا
عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ
لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ
تَجْرِي تَحْتَهَا
الْأَنْهَارُ
خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا
أَبَدًا ذَلِكَ
الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
And the foremost to embrace Islâm of the Muhâjirűn (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah) and the Ansâr (the citizens of Al-Madinah who helped and gave aid to the Muhâjirűn) and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allâh is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.
وَمَا
لَكُمْ أَلَّا
تُنْفِقُوا فِي
سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَاثُ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضِ لَا يَسْتَوِي
مِنْكُمْ مَنْ
أَنْفَقَ مِنْ
قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ
وَقَاتَلَ أُولَئِكَ
أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً
مِنَ الَّذِينَ
أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ
بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا
وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ
اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَى وَاللَّهُ
بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
خَبِيرٌ
And what is the matter with you that you spend not in the Cause of Allâh? And to Allâh belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. Not equal among you are those who spent and fought before the conquering (of Makkah, with those among you who did so later). Such are higher in degree than those who spent and fought afterwards. But to all Allâh has promised the best (reward). And Allâh is All-Aware of what you do.
Someone asked
Muhammad ibn Ka’b al-Qurazi, ‘what do you say about the noble Companions of the
Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه
وسلم?’ He said, ‘Sahabah صحابه
رضى الله عنهم
و رضواعنه, all of them, are in
Jannah- irrespective of whether mistakes and sins may have been committed by
some of them.’ The man again asked him, ‘on what basis did you say that”’ He
(Qurazi) said, ‘Read the Ayaah 9:100 of the Glorious Qur’aan.’
I found the 2nd Ayaah i.e. 57:10 to be more solid proof.
Beside that in Hadeeth, the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله
عليه وسلم has been reported to
have said, ‘the fire of Jahannam (Hell) جهنم
cannot touch the Muslim who has seen me or has seen those who have seen me.’
