Indeed the Companions conveyed from Allâh’s Messenger (SAWS) that which he was sent with from guidance in the most complete and perfect form. They will have the greatest of rewards due to their companionship of Allâh’s Messenger (SAWS), their fighting in Jihâd along his side, and their noble actions in spreading Islâm.
And they will also accumulate the rewards of those who come after them since they served as the intermediaries between them and Allâh’s Messenger (SAWS). This is due to his (SAWS) saying:
“Whoever calls towards guidance, he will have a reward equal to the reward earned by those who practice that guidance after him, and it will not reduce anything from their reward.”
This hadîth has been related of the Prophet (SAWS) by Muslim in his Sahîh. Allâh praised the Companions in His Mighty Book, and the Messenger of Allâh (SAWS) praised them in his purified Sunnah, and this is enough for them as a virtue and honor. Allâh says:
“And the foremost to embrace Islâm of the Muhâjirîn and the Ansâr and also those who followed them in goodness, Allâh is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. Allâh has prepared for them gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) to dwell therein for-ever. That is the supreme success.” [Sûrah At-Tawbah: 100].
