Khutbah: Companions around the Prophet (pbuh)

The companions (may Allah be well pleased with them) had the honour of being in the presence of the Prophet (pbuh), of seeing and hearing from him directly, but the tremendous gift from Allah to this ummah is that the guidance of the Prophet (saw) is fully preserved for us. We know every detail about the person (pbuh) – more details than we know of famous people who live in the public eye in our own time. What is interesting though, is that people who lived in the same household as him (pbuh) would go to his companions to learn more about him (pbuh).
