Some verses of the Quran about the Companions (Sahaba) of Prophet (saw), especially the Muhajirin (emigrants) and Ansar (helpers).[003:195] And their Lord hath accepted of them, and answered them: “Never will I suffer to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female: Ye are members, one of another: Those who have left their homes, or been driven out therefrom, or suffered harm in My Cause, or fought or been slain,- verily, indeed I shall wipe out their evil deeds from them, and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath;– A reward from the presence of God, and from His presence is the best of rewards.”
Does it include Ali? It is impossible as per Shia beliefs because according to Shias, he is infallible and doesn’t have evil deeds. So who are they?
[008:072] Those who believed, and adopted exile, and fought for the Faith, with their property and their persons, in the cause of God, as well as those who gave (them) asylum and aid,- these are (all) friends and protectors, one of another. As to those who believed but came not into exile, ye owe no duty of protection to them until they come into exile; but if they seek your aid in religion, it is your duty to help them, except against a people with whom ye have a treaty of mutual alliance. And (remember) God seeth all that ye do.
Who fought with their property, besides by their selves?
[008:074] Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith, in the cause of God as well as those who give (them) asylum and aid,- these are (all) in very truth the Believers: for them is the forgiveness of sins and a provision most generous.
Of course who can be better believers than those people. The Shia think they are the ones?
[008:075] And those who accept Faith subsequently, and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith in your company,- they are of you. But kindred by blood have prior rights against each other in the Book of God. Verily God is well-acquainted with all things.
“Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain”. And what about these people?
[009:020] Those who believe, and suffer exile and strive with might and main, in God’s cause, with their goods and their persons, have the highest rank in the sight of God: they are the people who will achieve (salvation).
Those who fought with their goods were special people. It doesn’t include Ali, Abu Dharr, Salman, Ammar and Bilal :Salam: They were other than these great sahaba. Who were they?
[016:041] To those who leave their homes in the cause of God, after suffering oppression,- We will assuredly give a goodly home in this world; but truly the reward of the Hereafter will be greater. If they only realised (this)!
Who suffered oppression?
[016:110] But verily thy Lord,- to those who leave their homes after trials and persecutions,- and who thereafter strive and fight for the faith and patiently persevere,- Thy Lord, after all this is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Who suffered persecution?
[022:039] To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged;- and verily, God is most powerful for their aid;-
[022:040] (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right,- (for no cause) except that they say, “our Lord is God” …
Indeed, they were expelled only due to Islam and they were oppressed. (
