Hudhayfa heard the Messenger of Allah say, "Follow those after me, Abu Bakr and Omar." (Shaykh Darwish commented: This authentic hadith is an indication that Abu Bakr should be the first caliph and Omar the second.)
The Prophet said, "Fear Allah, fear Allah. My Companions do not make them targets after me! Whosoever loves them loves them because they love me, and whosoever hates them it is through their hatred of me. Whosoever harms them, harms me. Whosoever does something to hurt me does it is as if it is hurtful to Allah. Whosoever does something that appears to be hurtful to Allah is about to be seized."
Prophet Muhammad warned, "Do not insult my Companions. If anyone were capable of spending the weight of Mount Uhud in gold, it would not even reach the measure of seeds equal to two-thirds of a kilo nor its half."
The jurist Malik, Anas's son and others said, "Whosoever hates and insults the Companions has no right to the Muslim treasury. Their judgment was found in the verse, "Those who came after them say, 'Forgive us our Lord, and forgive our brothers who were believers before us. Do not put in our hearts any spite towards those who believe'" (59:10). Malik also was of the opinion that whosoever is outraged by the Companions of the Prophet is an unbeliever, on account of the verse that reads, "and through them He enrages the unbelievers" (48:29).
Abdullah, Al Mubarak's son said, "There are two qualities if found in a person will bring about their salvation. They are truthfulness and love for the Companions of Muhammad."
Ayyoub, As-Sakhtiyani said, "Whosoever praises the Companions of Muhammad is not a hypocrite. Whosoever belittles any of them, and the Tabien and Tabi Tabien (meaning the second and third generation of Muslims) opposes the Prophetic Way and is an innovator. It is my fear that the actions of such a person will not rise to the heavens until he loves all of them and his heart is sound."
Of the Ansars, the Prophet said, "Pardon their faults and accept from their good-doers."
Malik, Anas's son said, "Prophet Muhammad taught his followers the manner to which Allah guided him, and by which He made him a mercy for the worlds. In the darkness of night he would go to Al Baqi (the cemetery in which many of his family and Companions are buried) and supplicated for forgiveness for them in the same way that a person goes to see someone off on a journey. Allah had commanded him to do that, and the Prophet , commanded his nation to have love and friendship for them and to be in opposition to those who opposes his Companions."
