The Sahabah (R.A.) Are A Criterion Of Right And Wrong
Proof from Qur'an

The Sahabah (R.A.) are a criterion of right and wrong: Haqq (truth) and baatil (falsehood). Allah the All-Knowing has approved of their actions and is pleased with them.
The underlying ayaats adequately prove the above.

1. "You are the best community which has been raised for (the benefit and reformation) of mankind" (3:110);
2. "Thus We have appointed you as a middle nation. that you may be witnesses against mankind" (2:143);
3. "Those who believed and left their homes and strove for the cause of Allah, and those (Ansar) who look them (the Muhajireen) in (i.e. accommodated them) - those are the Believers in truth. For them is pardon and a bountiful provision" (Sura Anfaal - 74);
4. "But the Rasul and those who believe with him strive with their wealth and their lives. Such are they for whom are the good things (Jannat), such are they who will prosper" (9:88)
See also Surahs (Hadeed, 10; Tahreem, 8; Fatah, 29; Taubah, 100; Fathah, 26)

Proof from AhadeethWe record a few ahadith of the Divinely Inspired Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) which prove that the way of Sahaabah (R.A.) is approved and accepted by Allah.

1. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) has stated.-"All that befell the children of Israel shall befall my Ummah also. The children of Israel were divided into 72 sects, My ummah shall branch out unto 73sects, all of which excepting one millat (which will be the absolved one) will go to Jahannam", The Sahabah (R.A.) asked "which is that millat." The Rasulullah

replied: "It is that Millat which follows me and my Sahaabah. (Tirmidhi, Vol. 2. P89)

2. "In whichever country anyone of my Sahabah is buried, he will rise up upon the Day of Qiyamah as a guide, and as a light for the inhabitants of that country" (Tirmidhi, Vol. 2, P.226);

3. "The example of my Sahabah is like that of the stars, whomsoever you follow, you will have received guidance" (Mishkat).

4. “Of all the eras, mine is of the best, then the period of those who are connected with those of my period.... (Bukhari)

5. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: 'Allah, Most High, cast aglance upon the hearts of His slaves, then He chose Muhammad

for Risaalat, Then He Cast a glance upon the hearts of His slaves and selected his Companions for him and made them helpers of His Deen and his Ministers. So the work these Muslims (Sahabah) consider as good is also good in the sight of Allah. And the work they consider as bad is also bad in the sight of Allah" (Muatta - P 112)

Wallaahu A'lam.
