Minhaj as-SunnahIbn Taimiya

This is well known from Mālik and from others (1) among the scholars, such as Abū Ubayd al-Qāsim ibn Sallām. It was likewise mentioned by Abū Hakīm al-Nahrawānī, one of Ahmad’s disciples, and by other jurists.

He also narrated from al-Hasan ibn Umārah, from al-Hakam (2), from Miqsam, from Ibn Abbās [—may Allah be pleased with them both—] (3), who said: “Allah commanded that forgiveness be sought for the Prophet’s Companions—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—while knowing that they would fight one another.”

Urwah said (4): “Āishah [may Allah be pleased with her] (5) said to me, ‘My nephew, (6) they were commanded to seek forgiveness for the Companions of Muhammad (7)—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—but instead they reviled them.’” (8)

In the two Sahīhs, it is narrated from Abū Saīd al-Khudrī [may Allah be pleased with him] (9) that he reported the following:

(1) N and M read: “and others.” (2) B reads *al-Hakīm*; he is al-Hakam ibn Utayba. See *al-Jarh wa-l-Taʿdīl*, vol. [0–9], part [0–9], p. [0–9]7. (3) “May Allah be pleased with them both” is added in A and B. (4) N and M read: “He said.” (5) “May Allah be pleased with her” is added in A and B. (6) N and M read: “my brother’s son,” which is an error. (7) A and B read: “They were commanded to seek forgiveness for the Companions of the Prophet.” (8) Another recension of the first report will appear two pages later. The second report occurs in abridged form in *al-Ibāna* (p. 15): “Āʾisha—may Allah be pleased with her—said: ‘They were commanded to seek forgiveness for Muhammad’s Companions, but they reviled them.’” Ibn Taymiyya also cited it in *al-Sārim al-Maslūl*, p. [0–9]74, and said: “Muslim narrated it.” (9) “May Allah be pleased with him” is added in B.
