Companions of the Prophet (Sahaabah)
- The term sahaabah refers to companions of the Prophet Muhammad, specifically those who saw him, even for a short time, while being Muslim.
- Sahaabah hold a high status in Sunni Islam, and reviling them is considered a grave sin.
- The first four Rightly-Guided Caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali) hold the highest rank among the sahaabah.
- Ten sahaabah (al-ʻAsharatu al-Mubashaharoona bil-Jannah) were promised Paradise during their lifetime.
- Other categories of sahaabah include those who migrated (al-Muhajirun), those who helped (al-Ansar), and those who participated in the Battle of Badr (al-Badriyun).
Additional Details
- The sahaabah's importance is determined by their contributions to the Prophet's mission.
- Muslims often mention the sahaabah with a special invocation ("radiyallaahu 'anhu" – May Allah be pleased with him) in speech or writing.
