A lot of times when thinking of the companions of our prophet it feels like what they did was sooo amazing and what excellent people they were...

yet... there's a thought ...
' obviously... they are the companions ...of course they are brilliant'

...it hinders me ...in seeing the true magnificance of these really amazing individuals.
However, sometimes when i happen to hear of a certain incident which has taken place and the human-ness has shown through, it becomes clear - what makes them so beautiful and truely special is ... they are human.

They were not angels walking the earth...they had feelings and thoughts just as we do and despite that...they achieved what they did...words are simply not enough to describe.

It would be nice to share any narrations which can help us picture the beloved companions in such a light.

I can't remember any at the moment..... inshallah tomorrow.
