O, the son of my sister, the Muslims were commanded to seek forgiveness for the Companions of Allah's Apostle ﷺ but they reviled them.  

مسلم:٣٠٢٢aحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَتْ لِي عَائِشَةُ

يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لأَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَبُّوهُمْ
