Imaam Zayn-ul-'Aabidiyn Asks ALLAAH to bless the Companions of the Prophet (S+)
as-salaamu "alaykum
Most Sunni Muslims do not know that Imaam Zayn-ul "Aabidiyn son of Imaam Husayn (killed and beheaded) wrote a book ranked among the most beautiful of supplications called the Sahiyfah. The famous sons of the Imaam was Imaam Muhammad al-Baaqir and Amiyr Zayd (my fortieth ancestor) also known as Imaam Zayd ibn Ali (killed,beheaded, crucified on the cross where his body/skeleton remained for four years and then taken down burnt and the ashes scattered over the Euphrates River.) It was to Amiyr Zayd that Imaam Abu Haniyfah gave the bay'ah to be the Amiyr of The Muslims. It was Amiyr Zayd who reconfirmed the title RaafiDah for the Shiy'ah who rejected him as The Amiyr.
It was Amiyr Zayd who was the first narrator of the Sahiyfah whom the RaafiDah Shiy"ah love to read and claim for themselves. But I want to show how well Imaam Zayn-ul "Aabidiyn son of Imaam Husayn (killed and beheaded) speaks about the companions of the prophet and their companions whom the RaafiDah Shiy"ah hate with a hatred unknown in the history of hate. I really do not know why they read it. It is a great mystery. No offense to anybody.
1 O Allah,
as for the followers of the messengers
and those of the people of the earth
who attested to them unseen
they yearned for the emissaries through the realities of faith,
2 in every era and time in which Thou didst send a messenger
and set up for the people a director
from the period of Adam down to Muhammad
(God bless him and his Household)
from among the imams of guidance
and the leaders of the god fearing
(upon them all be peace) -
remember them with forgiveness and good pleasure!
3 O Allah,
and as for the Companions of Muhammad specifically,
those who did well in companionship,
who stood the good test in helping him,
responded to him
when he made them hear his messages' argument,
4 separated from mates and children
in manifesting his word,
fought against fathers and sons
in strengthening his prophecy,
and through him gained victory;
5 those who were wrapped in affection for him,
hoping for a commerce
that comes not to naught in love for him;
6 those who were left by their clans
when they clung to his handhold
and denied by their kinsfolk
when they rested in the shadow of his kinship;
7 forget not, O Allah,
what they abandoned for Thee and in Thee,
and make them pleased with Thy good pleasure
for the sake of the creatures they drove to Thee
while they were with Thy Messenger,
summoners to Thee for Thee.
8 Show gratitude to them for leaving the abodes of their people for Thy sake
and going out from a plentiful livelihood to a narrow one,
and [show gratitude to] those of them who became objects of wrongdoing
and whom Thou multiplied in exalting Thy religion.
9 O Allah,
and give to those
who have done well in following the Companions,
who say, Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers
who went before us in faith,
Thy best reward;
10 those who went straight to the Companions' road,
sought out their course,
and proceeded in their manner.
11 No doubt concerning their sure insight diverted them
and no uncertainty shook them
from following in their tracks
and being led by the guidance of their light.
12 As their assistants and supporters,
they professed their religion,
gained guidance through their guidance,
came to agreement with them,
and never accused them in what they passed on to them.
13 O Allah,
and bless the Followers,
from this day of ours to the Day of Doom,
their wives,
their offspring,
and those among them who obey Thee,
14 with a blessing through which
Thou wilt preserve them from disobeying Thee,
make room for them in the plots of Thy Garden,
defend them from the trickery of Satan,
help them in the piety in which they seek help from Thee,
protect them from sudden events that come by night and day
- except the events which come with good -
15 and incite them to
tie firmly the knot of good hope in Thee,
what is with Thee,
and refrain from ill thoughts [toward Thee]
because of what the hands of Thy servants' hold.
16 Thus Thou mayest
restore them to beseeching Thee and fearing Thee,
induce them to renounce the plenty of the immediate,
make them love to
work for the sake of the deferred
and prepare for what comes after death,
17 make easy for them every distress that comes to them
on the day when souls take leave from bodies,
18 release them from
that which brings about the perils of temptation
and being thrown down in the Fire
and staying forever within it,
19 and take them to security,
the resting place of the god fearing.

Ibn Majah 161 Narrated / Authority of: Abu Hurairah
“The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Do not revile my Companions, for by the One in Whose Hand is my soul! If any of you were to spend the equivalent of Mount Uhud in gold, it would not equal a Mudd spent by anyone of them, nor even half a Mudd.” (Sahih)
