Virtues Of The Muslims Who Aren’t From The Sahaba (Companions Of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)

Posted byauthenticseerahPosted inUncategorized

1. All of this Ummah (Nation) is virtuous:

Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The parable of my nation is like the rain. One does not know if the first part is the best or the last.”

(Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2869, Sahih li ghayrihi (authentic due to external evidence) according to Al-Albani.)

2. The Prophet ﷺ called the Non-Sahaba his brothers:

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I wish I could meet my brothers.” The Prophet’s companions said, “Are we not your brothers?” The Prophet said, “You are my companions, but my brothers are those who have faith in me although they never saw me.”

(Musnad Aḥmad 12169, Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani.)

3. The Prophet ﷺ called the Non-Sahaba those of an ‘astonishing faith’:

Anas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Who in creation has the most astonishing faith?” They said, “The angels.” The Prophet said, “But how could the angels not believe?” They said, “The prophets.” The Prophet said, “But the prophets were given divine revelation, so how could they not believe?” They said, “Their companions.” The Prophet said, “The companions were with their prophets, so how could they not believe? Rather, the people with the most astonishing faith are those who come after you and they find a book of divine revelation, thus they believe in it and follow it. They are the people with the most astonishing faith.”

(Musnad al-Bazzār 7294, Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani.)

4. Virtues of worshipping Allah during the later days:

Abu Tha’labah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Rather, you must enjoin good and forbid evil until you see greed being obeyed, desires being followed, worldly life being preferred, and everyone is impressed by their own opinion. Then you must take care of yourself and leave the common people. Verily, ahead of you are days of patience in which patience will be like grasping a hot coal. The one who does good deeds in that time will have the reward of fifty men who do likewise.”

(Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3058, Hasan (fair) according to Al-Tirmidhi.)
