OUR OBLIGATION CONCERNING THE COMPANIONS – Book Sample

WHY IS THE OBLIGATION CONCERNING THE COMPANIONS A PART OF OUR OBLIGATION CONCERNING OUR RELIGION?

So the question that one should pose to himself is:

“Why is the obligation concerning the Companions a part of our obligation concerning our religion?”

I say, the Companions are carriers of this religion and those who conveyed it to the ‘Ummah. Allah conferred honor and dignity to them by allowing them to hear this religion from the Messenger of Allah; and likewise, Allah conferred honor to them by allowing them to see him and to hear the Hadith from him without intermediaries.

They saw him, listened to him, memorized, understood him and conveyed it to the ‘Ummah of Islam.

Is there present a single narration of the Prophet-whether in speech or action-that reached us from other than the Companions?!

If you were to open (read) the books of Hadith like Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, as-Sunan, Masanid, or the books of Jami’, you would find the chain of narrators starting from the author, in which he states,

Such-and-such person narrated to us, from such-and-such person until it reaches the Companion; then the Companion narrates (directly) from the Prophet “

So all Hadith which have been graded authentic and affirmed from the Messenger of Allah their chain of narrators to the Prophet has a noble Companion in it.

THE INTEGRITY OF THE COMPANIONS

The Companions, all of them are just. Allah and His Prophet called them just and validated their trustworthiness in His Book. And based upon this, the way of the Imams of the Sala£ and the scholars of the Sunnah in Hadith which were transmitted from the Prophet proceeded by researching the integrity of narrators and their status, whether they were trustworthy or weak.

 They would research the circumstance of every narrator in the lsnad (i.e., a chain of narrators in a Hadith) – is he trustworthy or not; is he just or not – up until the Isnad reaches a Companion; because the Companions are just and trustworthy.
