It is good to tell the story which had happened in Masjid Alharaam for myself as an ending to this issue for dear readers and finish the chapter:

In one of Umra travels, a night in Masjid Alharaam between prayers of sunset and night which we had a chance to argue, we had a discussion about holiness of all Sahaba with some of scholars of Hejaz. They believed as always that we should not animadvert them even a little and as an idiom in Persian we should not say anything to them litter than flower!

I told one of them: assume that Saffain war has begun here, which of these two Safs (armies) do you attend, Ali’s (a.s.) or Muaviya’s?

He said: Of course Ali’s (a.s.) Army.

I said: If Ali (a.s.) says to you: Take this sword and kill Muaviya, what do you do?

He thought a while and said I will kill Muaviya but I will never animadvert him even a little!! 

***

Yes, this is the result of insisting on illogical beliefs which defending them will be illogical too and made human entangled in bumpy roads.

The truth is that we say according to testify of Qur'an and history of Islam Sahaba and companions of Prophet (s.a.) were in some castes in one view: There were a group of Sahaba and companions of Prophet (s.a.) who were pure, truthful and righteous from beginning until the end, they live happy and died happy.

Another group was pure and righteous in the age of his holiness, but afterward changed their ways for ambition and cupidity and their destiny was not felicity and welfare (like fire starters of Jamal and Saffain wars).

And the third group was from hypocrites and secularists and had placed themselves among Muslims for especial purposes like Abu Suffian and others like him.

And here we point to the first group and say:

“Allah! Forgive us and our religious brothers who passed us in belief and keep our hearts empty of envy and hatred of believers. Allah! You are clement and merciful.”1
