وَلَا نَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ وَنُبْغِضُ مَنْ يُبْغِضُهُمْ وَبِغَيْرِ الْخَيْرِ يَذْكُرُهُمْ
We do not disavow any of them, and we reject those who hate them or speak of them in a disparaging manner.
Disavowal (tabarruʾ) is a declaration of repudiation or severance. Respect for the Companions rules out treating contempt, hostility or derogatory speech against them as acceptable.
