وَمَنْ أَحْسَنَ الْقَوْلَ فِي أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ الطَّاهِرَاتِ مِنْ كُلِّ دَنَسٍ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِ الْمُقَدَّسِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ رِجْسٍ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ
Whoever speaks well of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, his pure wives and his purified offspring is free from hypocrisy.
Good speech means speaking with respect and recognition of their honored status. The Companions, the Prophet’s wives and his family are to be mentioned with goodness rather than hostility or contempt.
