40 Ahadith Expounding the Virtues of the Sahabah
The Sahabah radiya Llahu `anhum raised the flag of Islam at the ends of the world. They conquered cities and lands, growing their influence. They expended the prime of their youth in elevating the peak of the Islamic empire. They expelled from the book of their Lord the distortions of the extremists, the fabrications of the liars, and the wrong interpretations of the ignorant. They entered every doorway that led to the pleasure of their Lord. They surpassed men in good actions and sublime character whilst warning the creation of evil and vile character. They sincerely advised the ummah in its small and big matters together with clarifying the subtleties of the shari`ah. This book is a testament to this sacrifice and nobility of theirs. Read it. Understand it. Imbue within yourselves their spirit. The true Islamic spirit.
