موقف محدثي الهند مما شجر بين الصحابة رضي الله عنهم من الخلاف جمعا ودراسة: The Position of Indian Hadith Scholars on the Conflicts Among the Companions (May Allah be Pleased with Them) A Compilation and Analytical Study

This research examines the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the internal conflicts that arose among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), the causes of their disagreements the stance of Ahl al-Hadith scholars from India toward these events, and their refutation of the doubts raised concerning the Companions. It also explores the principles and foundations established by the people of knowledge regarding matters of contention. The research relies on an inductive and Deductive Method. The researcher concluded that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) are the best of creation after the Prophets and Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them). The conflicts or confrontations that occurred among them were not driven by personal desires, worldly motives, or the pursuit of leadership; rather, they stemmed from the demand for just retribution (Qisas) against the wicked individuals who assassinated 'Uthman bin 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him).Furthermore the participants in the battles of Al-Jamal and Siffin were all Mujtahidun (exercising independent reasoning) and will be rewarded by Allah the Exalted. Although it is testified that 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his followers were closer to the truth, this does not mean that Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and his supporters, or the mother of the Believers 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and her supporters, were false. Instead, they were all striving in their Ijtihad to seek the truth. There is no sin upon a Mujtahid who errs; rather, he receives a reward for his sincere effort Therefore, it is obligatory to withhold the tongue (refrain from speaking ill of them), seek the best possible justifications for the conflicts that happened among them, and assume the best of their intentions. This is the stance of Ahl al-Hadith scholars from India (may Allah have mercy upon them), as they adhered firmly to the methodology of the Pious Predecessors (Salaf of the Ummah) and their majority.
