  Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S105) The Messenger ﷺ: “It is sufficient for my Companions (رضي الله عنهم) to be killed”. I.e as a means for their purification. This is relevant during the times of differences. Abdullah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم told us to pray for the forgiveness of the Companions رضي الله عنهم, for Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى knew they would soon clash with each other. Surah [59:8-9] praises the Muhajireen and the Ansar رضي الله عنهم, the next verse [59:10] then mentions we are to pray for the forgiveness of those who came before us and not to hold any hatred for them رضي الله عنهم in our hearts.
