The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and their faith were mentioned in the presence of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "The matter of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was perfectly clear to those who saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) with their own eyes. But by the One besides whom there is no true deity, no believer's faith is superior to faith in the unseen." Then he recited these verses, from "Alif Lam Mim. That is the Book about which there is no doubt" up to "who believe in the unseen" [Surah al-Baqarah: 1-3] . This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Imam Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
