[Zafina]

we know that the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) were the people who loved the Prophet most.

Was it reported that Abu Bakr, who was the closest of people to him and the one who loved him the most, celebrated the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?

Was it reported that ‘Umar, who ruled for twelve years, or ‘Uthmaan, did this?

Was it reported that ‘Ali, his relative and foster son, did this?

Was it reported that any of the Sahaabah did this?

No, by Allaah!

Is it because they were not aware of its importance, or did they not truly love the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?

No one would say such a thing except one who has gone astray and is leading others astray.
