Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Universal and religious traditions testify that the companions of the prophets are the best among the followers of their religion. If the followers of each religion were asked about the most virtuous among them, they would say: the companions of the messengers. If the followers of the Torah were asked, they would say: the companions of Moses; and if the followers of the Gospel were asked, they would say: the companions of Jesus. So, is companionship (with the Prophet) proof of superiority?

Answer

In the name of Allah, know, my son, that if a companion was committed to religious rulings and obedience, then he attained both the honor of companionship and the honor of religion, and thus possesses virtue. However, one who is from the Ahl al-Bayt (Household of the Prophet) and descends directly from the Prophet (PBUH&HF), while also having attained purity, is superior even to the righteous companion. Allah is the Guide and All-Knowing.
