Whilst narrating an incident about one companion, Khubaib bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) His Holiness spoke generally about these blessed men of God.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:

“These (companions) were those people who were of a great status and were such that attained a closeness to God.”

After narrating a number of incidents about Khubaib bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) including his martyrdom, His Holiness also spoke about two other companions, namely Amr bin Umayya and Jaabar bin Safar Ansari (may Allah be pleased with them).
