Topic: Refraining from talking about what had happened among the Companions

  The Madh-hab of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah is to give up talking about what has happened among the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Q: In a Sahih (authentic) Hadith, it was reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ıııı ııııııı ııııııı (31) ı ıııı ıııı ııııı ıııııı ıııııı (2888) ı ııı ııııııı ııııı ıııı (4121) ı ııı ııı ıııı ııııı ıııııııı (4268) ı ııı ııı ıııı ııııı (3965) ı ıııı ıııı (5/51). "When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with their swords, both the killer and the one who was killed will go to the Fire." They said, "That is for the killer, but what about the one who was killed?" He (peace be upon him) replied, "He had the intention to kill his companion."  How can we apply this Hadith to the Great Fitnah (Trial) that took place in the time of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs?

A: The Manhaj (methodology) of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah (those adhering to the Sunnah and the Muslim community) is to refrain from speaking about the disagreement between the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet) and ask Allah to be pleased with them all.

The belief is that they were all Mujtahids (scholars qualified to exercise juristic effort to infer expert legal rulings) in what they did; those who were right will have two rewards and those who were wrong will have one, and the wrong will be forgiven.

The Hadith that was mentioned refers to the Muslims who fight each other due to injustice and enmity, not a disagreement due to Ijtihad (juristic effort to infer expert legal rulings).
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his Family and Companions!

  Aboo Tawbah al Halabee raheemahullaah, from the salaf as saalih, said:

Indeed Mu'aawiyah ibn Abee Sufyaan is a curtain for the Companions of Allaah's Messenger, salalahu alayhi wasallam, SO WHOEVER LIFTS THIS CURTAIN, WILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THOSE BEHIND IT

Imaam at Tahaawee said:
ııı ııııı ıııı ıııı ııı ıııı ıı ıı ııı ıııı ııı ııııı ıı ııı ıııı ııııı ıı
ıııııı ııııı ııııı ıııııı ııı ıııııı ııı ıııı ııııı ııı ıııııı ıııııı ıııııı ııı ııııı ıııııı

We love the Companions of the Messenger of Allah but we do not become extreme in our love for anyone among them nor do we renounce any one of them. We hate anyone who hates them or does not mention well of them, and we only mention well of them. And loving them is religion, belief and excellence (ihsaan), while hatred of them is disbelief, hypocrisy and transgression (tughaan).
