The Importance of Righteous Companions in Islam
The Salaf used to say: If a person of the sunnah is granted tawfeeq, then the biggest blessing that Allah bestows on him is to give him tawfeeq in finding (another) companion of the sunnah who takes him by the hand and leads him to the truth.
A beautiful example is Khaythamah ibn Abi Sabra who said: I came to Madinah and I asked Allah to facilitate for me in finding a righteous companion, so He facilitated for me Abu Hurayrah. I sat with him and said: Indeed I asked Allah to facilitate for me righteous companionship so I was granted tawfeeq. He said to me: Where are you from? . . . (until the end of the narration)
[At-Tirmidhee]
This is how those who were true to Allah in their intentions were granted tawfeeq in meeting those from the sahaaba. So ask Allah for tawfeeq in friendships!
