Abdullah Ibn Masood (radhiyallahu 'anhu) said;
“Whoever wishes to follow a good example, then let him follow the example of those who have already died. As for those who are still alive, not a single one of them is guaranteed safety from the trails and tribulations of life. The former group to whom I am referring consists of the Companions of Muhammad
(sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam). By Allah they are the best people of this nation; they are the most pious at heart, the most knowledgeable, and the least artificial of all people.
Allah chose them to be companions of His Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) and to establish His religion. So acknowledge their superiority and follow their guidance, to the best of your ability, hold on to the example of their manners and of their religion, for indeed, they
were upon guidance“
