"My Companions are like
stars"
The Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h)
I still remember my favourite hadith, in regard to the
two closest sahaba to Rasulullah SAW, Sayyidina Abu Bakr r.a and Sayyidina Umar
r.a.
(Metaphorically) if to compare the deeds of these
sahaba', Sayyidina Umar's were like all the stars in the universe, while if the
same amount of Sayyidina Umar's combined in one star, Sayyidina Abu Bakr's
would be all the stars in the universe. So, technically it's like more than a
zillion-fold from Sayyidina Umar's.
I can't even stop being awed by that! :D
Here's an article by GF Haddad in regard to the
sahaba' of Rasulullah SAW:
There are at least three narrations comparing the
Companions (sahaba' of Rasulullah SAW) to the stars in the sky:
It is reported from the prophet (p.b.u.h) that he
said:
1. "My
Companions are like stars; whoever among them you use for guidance, you will be
rightly guided."
2. The hadith in Muslim and Ahmad narrated by Abu Musa
Al-Ash'ari whereby the Prophet (p.b.u.h), said:
"The stars are
trust-keepers for the heaven, and when the stars wane, the heaven is brought
what was promised (i.e the corruption of the world and the coming of the Day of
Judgement); and I am a trust keeper for my Companions, so when I go, my Companions
will be brought what was promised them (i.e fitna and division); and my
Companions are trustkeepers for my Ummah, so when they go, my Ummah will be
brought what was promised to you (i.e following hawa and vying for dunya - hawa
nafsu)"
3. Anas relates that the Prophet (p.b.u.h), said:
"The simile of the
scholars of knowledge (Ulama) on the earth is the stars in the sky by which one
is guided in the darkness of the land and the sea. When the stars are clouded
over, the guides are about to be lost."

Tercatat dalam “ARRIYADH ANNADHIRAH FI MANAQIBIL
ASYARAH“ dari sahabat Abu Dzar ra, bahawa Rasulullah masuk kerumah Aisyah ra
dan bersabda:
“Wahai Aisyah, inginkah
engkau mendengar khabar gembira?”
Aisyah menjawab : “Tentu, ya Rasulullah.”
