The Graves Attributed to the Prophet’s Companions in South Punjab and Authenticity of Related Narrations
Abstract
Just as the Prophet (peace be upon him) is superior to all the Prophets, so are his Companions superior to all human beings. The Companions not only kept safe the Qur'ān by writing, memorizing and practice, but also memorized the hadiths of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Companions also have the advantage that the biographers have preserved their birographis along with the biography of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). The period of the Companions begins with Prophet’s Apostleship and ends in 110 A.H. Therefore, whoever claimed the companionship of the Prophet after 110 A.H, the narrators refuted him. During the Prophet's revelation time, not only Indian people used to visit the Arabia, but also there are historical proofs for arrival of Prophet’s Companions who visited some regions of present-day Pakistan. Some of them were buried here and some returned after spending some time. In South Punjab, a total of 30 graves are attributed to the Companions, but no definite opinion can be made about any of them. Therefore, on the basis of stories told by hearts about some graves of Companions, it cannot be said with certainty that those graves not belong to the Prophet’s Companions, but there can be no definite acceptance about this as well.
