- Uprightness of all Sahaba
:"This is a sub-article to
Sunni view of the Sahaba .The Uprightness of all Sahaba is the name for a doctrinal view that it is a
sin to speak ill of thesahaba (companions) of theIslamic prophet Muhammad .The view has strong but not universal support among
Sunni Muslim s, but is not considered an "official" doctrine and is not supported by those of theShi'a faith.Fact|date=June 2008References in Hadiths
Support for the adoption of the doctrine is drawn from two
hadith s or oral traditions usually titled "Don't curse my companions" and "My companions are like the stars". These hadiths are further expanded upon in the Sunniisnad :Someone who speaks ill of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him, his family, and companions) has innovation (bid'a) in matters of belief, and is going against the way of Ahl al-Sunna in this matter. Speaking ill of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a dangerous sign, and it is feared that such a person may have other methodological variances--intellectual or emotional--from the way of mainstream traditional Islamic scholarship.
hi'a view
The Uprightness of all Sahaba's is not supported in Shi'a doctrine. It is argued that the
Qu'ran does not accord special status or infallibility for Muhammad's companions, and makes clear that obedience is strictly due to Allah, Muhammad, and those authorized by Allah as leaders (4:59).Shi'a doctrine supports the authorization of the first Shi'a Imam
Ali as Muhammed's successor and leader of the faith. This is supported by the hadith "Ali is the master of all those, whose master I am", and in the hadith "I will have twelve Caliphs and all of them will be from Quraysh."It is argued that the granting of this specific status to Ali precludes its extension to all other sahaba.
