Merit of the Companions

While Usayd ibn Hudayr was reciting in his dates storehouse at night, his horse got startled and began to jump. He again recited, and the horse got startled and began to jump again. He again recited, and it got startled and began to jump as before. Usayd said: I was afraid that the horse may trample (my son) Yahya. I stood near it and saw something like a canopy over my head, with what looked like lamps in it, rising up in the sky until I could no longer see it

You will proceed with your journey along the evening and the night, then you will come to a place of water, Allah willing, in the morning

Indeed, Allah has put the truth upon the tongue and in the heart of ‘Umar

The two sons of al-‘Ās are believers: ‘Amr and Hishām

O mother of Hārithah, there are many ranks in the gardens of Paradise, and your son has attained Al-Firdaus

Verily, I know that you are a stone that can neither harm nor benefit. Had I not seen the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kissing you, I would not have kissed you

The best of you are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them
