i** wud suggest to read some authentic books about the life of shahaba ikram** so that u can get a fair idea of their high and pious character and what they sacrificed for this deen. we muslims are even inferior to the dust of their feet.}
.............
which ones ?
the best biographical dictionaries by ibn hajar, ibn athir, ibn abd birr dont mention anything that u have written
ibn kathir and ibn tammiyah in their rivalry with the iraqi jurists have tried to rehablitate the imag of ummayyads so they r not the most objective source for thatplus u r making a very selective reading of al bidayah
