Virtues of the Sahabah (Prophet’s Companions)
Belief in the good character and virtue of the Sahabah is the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah. Allah gave the Companions special virtues and noble characteristics, by means of which they attained that great honour and high status with Him. Allah chose as the heirs of the prophets those who would be grateful for this blessing and who were fit for this honour of conveying the message. It is essential to understand that the Sahabah were not infallible. This is the view of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah. Rather they were human beings like any others.
