Al-‘Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah · Chapter 6

Belief Concerning the Companions and the Family of the Prophet ﷺ

English Translation

From the foundations of Ahl us-Sunnah: soundness of heart and tongue toward the Companions of the Messenger ﷺ. They love them, recognise their virtue, and do not delve into the disputes that occurred among them. They love the Family of the Prophet ﷺ (Ahl al-Bayt) and his wives (the Mothers of the Believers) — disassociating from those who hate them or speak ill of them.

Key Benefits

  • 1No Companion is to be cursed or insulted.
  • 2Loving Ahl al-Bayt is part of the religion — exaggerating about them is not.
