- Who is a Sahhabi ?

1) Sahhabi (companion) is that Muslim who has assisted in the court of the Prophet (in the Holy Prophet's presence) and has passed away from this world with faith. All Sahhabis are of praise and are pious and are also sincere in their Islamic Judgement and the same for their Islamic actions. When there is talk of a Sahhabi, it is compulsory that it be with praise.

2) To have bad beliefs for any of the Sahhabis is misguidance and belonging to the wrong sect. To speak ill of the dignity of Amir Mu'awiya, Amr Bin Aas, Wahshi etc. is to curse them and this is a Shi'ite belief. To insult Shaykhain ('Abu Bakr and 'Umar) or to reject their position as Caliphs is according to Islamic lawyers, infidelity.

3) Regardless of how high a rank of a Wali is, they would never reach the grade of a Sahhabi. The battle between 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Amir Mu'awiya (may Allah be pleased with him) was a mistake in the interpretation of Islamic law and therefore is not a sin. Therefore, to call Amir Mu'awiya cruel, treacherous, etc., is all strictly forbidden and not allowed and is in fact a curse and the person is a Shi'ite.
