8- Testify of History6- Were all Sahaba impartial without an exception?

We can divide Sahaba of prophet, according to Qur'an, to 5 major groups:

1- Infallibles and righteous Sahaba: Those were believer and pure groups that belief had placed deep inside their hearts and they never abstain from any kind of self devotion for Allah and raising the word of Islam. That group who has pointed to them in verse 100 of Tawba Sura. “Allah was satisfied of them and they were satisfied of Allah graces too.”

2- Fallible believers: That group which beside belief and good acts, sometimes had slips and were combining good and bad acts who were confessing to their sins and there is a hope of mercy for them, and in verse 102 of Tawba Sura it has pointed to them following the first group: “And another group (are believers who) confessed to their sins and combined good and bad acts, there is a hope that Allah accept their penance, surely Allah is merciful and kind.”

3- Sinful persons:whom Qur'an named them debauchee and said if a debauchee brought you news, do not accept that without investigation and points to them in verse 6 of Hojorat Sura: “Those who believe in Allah! If a debauchee gives you news, investigate about that, lest harm a group because of ignorance and afterward be regretful of what you have done.” These people can be found in interpretations of Shi’aa and Ahl -e- Sonnat. 4- Simulative Muslims: Those who were claiming of belief but it had not placed in their hearts and it has pointed to them in verse 14 of Hojorat Sura: “Bedouin Arabs said: we believed in Allah. Tell them: You are not believed, but you can say we accepted Islam, but belief has not placed in your hearts yet; And if you obey Allah and his prophet, he will not forget any of your rewards, Allah is gracious and merciful.”

5- Hypocrites: Those who were living sometimes known and sometimes unknown among Muslims with the thought of concision, and they were not afraid of sabotage in Muslim affairs or in advancement of Islam. In verse 101 of Tawba Sura it has pointed to them after infallible believers: “There some of bedouin Arabs around you who are hypocrites and also some of people of Medina use the way of concision.”

Undoubtedly all these people had seen Prophet (s.a.) and had accompanied and associated with him and lots of them had attended wars with Prophet and any explanation which we can use for Sahaba matches all these quintet groups. Is it possible to know all of them infallible and heavenly?

Isn’t it the place to divide Sahaba to quintet groups according to Qur'an, respect to those good and infallibles of them and know other groups in their proper places, and abstain from hyperbole, extremism and fanaticism? (Let’s judge fair).
