What is important and crucial which I may change the text to reflect this point is that anecdotes of Ambiyah Sahabah should only be used when giving dawah.

The more we talk about them and the state they were in the more the struggle continuous. However if we fail to discuss their state then we eventually end up comparing ourselves to the Muslims around us (in the internet age that would be globally) and subconsciously the Shaitan and Nafs will tells 'your not that bad!, you could be far worse or look how bad these Muslims are....' and then our Dawah leans towards discussing all the bad that the other Muslim do. Or if we do not look down on other Muslims we do not progress since we make a comparision with those around us and then see this as the standard.

This is a classic syndrome that hinders our progression. But if one has the Sahabah as his goal then one will constantly be in a struggle to reach those heights.

For example in point number #2 for Salah an anecdote that can be used is that of Hadrath Zubair ibn Awam....

"It is noted in many books of fiqh the Kushoo and Khudooo (concentration and devotion) of Zubair ibn Awam. Once a man started reading Quran and saw the respected Sahabi in Sajdah. He read through Surah Baqarah, Al-imran and Al-maidah and looked up and saw that he was still in the same sajdah..."

So relying only these anecdotes should compell us to constantly approve our state.
