Explanation of al-Aqidah al-Wasitiyya – Lesson 68

Lesson 68:

They testify that those who the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stated (were in Paradise) are in Paradise such as the Ten, Thabit Ibn Qays Ibn Shammas and other companions.

They accept what has been reported via multiple routes from the Leader of the Believers, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, and others, that the best of this nation, after its Prophet ﷺ, are Abu Bakr then Umar. They place Uthman in third place and Ali in fourth . This is proven by the narrations and is proven by the Companions unanimously agreeing on giving precedence to Uthman (over Ali) for the pledge of allegiance.
