but, that which profits people remains on the earth.” 13:17.
The love the Companions had for the Prophet, and the Message he brought was deep
and sincere. He was their role model, a person with admirable, noble characteristics
which surpassed all other humans and of which even his enemies were never heard to
deny. The Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) was someone who the Companions
tried their best to emulate and for whom they were prepared to sacrifice. The
Companion’s love of him was embedded deep in their hearts and they were always
ready to defend him even if it meant risking their lives. Such was the spirit of
selflessness that strengthened them to endure their difficulties. They knew that which
they endured was only temporal, a trial, and that within a few years they would return to
their Lord and longed for the life in the Hereafter.
Allah says:
“Do people think that they are left alone by saying,
'We are believers,' and will not be tried?
We tried those who have gone before them.
