Beskrivelse
Every prophet of Allah Ta'ala had a group of followers who were his helpers and students. After the demise of that prophet, they kept alive his teachings by propagating what he had taught them. In this manner, for centuries, various religious groups survived. Similarly, our beloved Nabi, Hadhrat Muhammad PBUH also had a group of followers who sat in his company, learnt from him the religion of Islaam, fought for Islaam with him and obeyed him. These people are known as the Sahaabah RA. They totaled over a hundred thousand. It is an accepted fact that after the Ambiyaa AS, the Sahaabah RA are the most excellent people. The companionship of each Sahaabi differed. Some were closer to Rasulullah PBUH than others. In the light of the Qur'aan and Ahaadith in which the excellences of the Sahaabah RA are mentioned, the Ulama agree that the most excellent amongst the Sahaabah RA are the Khulafaa-e-Raashideen according to the sequence of their khilaafat. Thereafter are the other six Sahaabah RA who were granted the glad tidings of Jannah in their lifetime. They are Hadhrat Talha RA, Hadhrat Zubair RA, Hadhrat S'ad RA, Hadhrat Sa'eed RA, Hadhrat Abdur-Rahmaan RA and Hadhrat Abu 'Ubaidah RA. The four Khulafaa and these six Sahaabah RA are known as 'Al- 'Asharatul-Mubash-sharah' (The ten men who were given the glad tidings of their definite entrance into Jannah). Thereafter comes the rank of the Badriyyeen. The Badriyyeen were those Sahaabah who participated in the Battle of Badr. The above ranks were even acknowledged by Hadhrat Umar RA when he used to grant allowances to the Sahaabah RA. The greater the sacrifice, the greater was the allowance.
