Sadr-ul-Afadil, ‘Allamah Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi عَـلَيْهِ رَحۡمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـهَادِی has stated: A Muslim must respect the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم of the Noblest Prophet and show intense devotion for them from the bottom of his heart. Having devotion towards them is to have devotion towards the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the ill-fated man, who talks with disrespect about the status of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم is the enemy of Allah and His Beloved Prophet. A Muslim must not join the company of such kind of person. (Sawanih Karbala, pp. 31)

A’la Hadrat, leader of the Ahl-e-Sunnah, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has said:

Ahl-e-Sunnat ka hay bayra par ashab-e-Huzoor

Najm hayn aur nao hay ‘itrat Rasoolullah ki

(Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish)

This couplet means that Ahl-e-Sunnah are successful because the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are like stars for them and the blessed progeny of the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is like a ship for them.

The dead person screamed, people ran away
