Some say that Ameerul Mo’meneen Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.) has raised an
objection in Nahjul Balagha against a few companions of the Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.a.) and that he (a.s.) was deprived of his right to caliphate. On the
other hand, since the companions of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) were just, it
is not possible that a sermon of this tenor, found in Nahjul Balagah, be
attributed to Imam Ali (a.s.).
However, we can silence this objection by establishing the corrupt and
hypocritical nature of some companions through irrefutable proofs and clear

A majority of the Ahle Sunnat, on the basis of this broad definition, claim
that all the companions are just (عادل). However, some Muslims do not share

automatically establishes that all companions were just.
Rather, amongst the other communities of the world, as also similar to the
companions of the previous Prophets (a.s.), those individuals who loved the

In fact, amongst the chapters of the Holy Quran, one chapter was revealed with
the name of The Hypocrites (سورة المنافقون).
On this basis, the companions of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) can be divided
into three groups (the just, the corrupt and the hypocrites).
The view that “all companions were just” is incorrect for the following reasons:
