The Obligation of Following the Salaf (the Sahaabah)

Schema Notes

Allaah mentions the station and virtue of the Sahaabah, that Allaah was pleased with them, and

the necessity of following in their way.

At-Tawbah (9):100

And the first to embrace Islm of the Muhjirn (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-

Madinah) and the Ansr (the citizens of Al-Madinah who helped and gave aid to the Muhjirn)

and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allh is well-pleased with them as they are

well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise),

to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.

An-Nisa (4):115

And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) after the right path

the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination.

Al-Baqarah (2):137

So if they believe in the like of that which you believe, then they are rightly guided, but if they

turn away, then they are only in opposition. So Allh will suffice you against them. And He is the

All-Hearer, the All-Knower.

Al-Fath (48):18

Indeed, Allh was pleased with the believers when they gave their Bai' (pledge) to you (OMuhammad SAW) under the tree, He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down As-

Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity) upon them, and He rewarded them with a near victory,
