Immense Love for the Holy Prophet (sa)

Hazrat Saeed (ra) bin Jubair narrates, “The status and conduct of Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra), Hazrat Umar (ra), Hazrat Uthman (ra), Hazrat Ali (ra), Hazrat Talha (ra), Hazrat Zubair (ra), Hazrat Sa‘d (ra) and Hazrat Abdur Rahman (ra) bin Auf and Hazrat Saeed (ra) bin Zaid was such that during battles, they would stand right before the Holy Prophet (sa) and fight and during the prayers, they would stand right behind him.”
