The Lions of the Jungle: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah | Hassan al-Qadri

#sahaba #lions #thepurifiedtruth

In the name of Allah,

Very often one will hear the regurgitated statements “the Shīʿa hate the Ṣaḥāba”, “the Shīʿa say all the companions are apostates except three”, “the Shīʿa condemn and disassociate from the great companions of the Prophet” and other such accusations. In this lecture, Hassan al-Qadri elucidates on what Shīʿī scholarship has said about the Ṣaḥāba of the Holy Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny), in terms of the different categories they fall into and the criterions for these groupings.

Important note from Hassan al-Qadri:

I described the companions from the first category as being “Kuffār Murtaddīn” (Disbelieving Apostates), however in hindsight I have realised that this can be easily misunderstood. What was intended is that this will be the condition they find themselves in, on the Day of Judgement, when their deeds are presented for all to see, and not that they fell out of the fold of Islam at any point in history from a jurisprudential standpoint. In order to listen more on this subject one can watch a previous lecture of mine, entitled: “The Final Cut: The Companions of the Prophet in Shīʿa Thought.”
