Assalam alaikum,
In numerous places in the Holy Qur'an, such as in Surat Tawbat, verse 100 (9:100) and Surat Al-Imran, verse 110 (3:110), ALLAH, SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA Praises and shows His Pleasure for the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam...the Sahaba.
The behaviour and actions of the Sahaba were witnessed by the Prophet, may Allah bless and grant him peace,himself and approved by him...meaning that their behaviour was also approved by Allah, Exalted is He, as it is an acceptable principle that the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, is not allowed to approve of something which is essentially wrong. So, we must emulate them in our behaviour and actions, particularly minding:--
1) That any action we take is correct in accordance with the Shari'a
2) To remember and think about death often, as this helps in
detaching ourselves to worldly pleasures.
3) Learning to forgive others who may have offended us in ma'amalat.
4) We should have high respect for all Muslims and desire good for
them, noting that every Muslim is inviolable to another Muslim-
his blood, wealth and honour.
5) Performance of the late night prayers (tahajjud), as the Master,
Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:--"STICK TO THE LATE-NIGHT
PRAYER FOR IT WAS THE CUSTOM OF THE PIOUS PEOPLE BEFORE YOU, IT
IS ALSO A MEANS OF GETTING CLOSER TO YOUR LORD; IT WIPES AWAY
YOUR EVIL DEEDS, AND KEEPS ONE FROM COMMITTING SINS". [Ahmad,
Tirmidhi, Al-Hakim and others]- al-Jami as-Saghir, vol.2 Hadith
No.4079.
