Intro
Ahmadi’s believe that some of the sahaba will go to Hell, we have seen this in our online discussions with them. However, this is not true, in fact, all the sahaba mentioned in hadith will all go to heaven, no doubt. However, there are some who rude bedouin men who acted against the Khilafat of the first 4 and thereafter, for this, they will have to face Allah. That is most likely what this famous hadith means, Allah knows best! This Hadeeth was also reported by Muslim, Ahmad, Abu Daawood, At-Tirmithi, Ibn Maajah and An-Nasaa’i with different wordings. The opinion of MGA and his sons are unknown as of yet.
The scholars elaborated on the above Hadeeth and similar Ahaadeeth, and some of them understood it to mean apostasy. For instance Ibn Al-Jawzi said in his book Kashf Al-Mushkil Min Ahaadeeth As-Saheehayn, “It appears that some became hypocrites in the era of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and some became non-Muslims after he died. Abu Bakr ibn Muqsim said, ‘They – and Allaah knows best – are those who came to him from tribe of Bani Haneefah and he saw them and knew them but afterwards they apostatized with Musaylimah and died as non-Muslims, but none of the Companions of the Prophet died as a non-Muslim.’” Besides, Ibn Hajar said, “Al-Farbari said, ‘It was said that Abu ‘Abdullaah Al-Bukhari quoted Qabeesah as saying, ‘They are those who apostatized during the era of Abu Bakr and Abu Bakr fought against them'”, meaning until they were killed and died as non-Muslims.
Ibn Hajar also quoted Al-Khattaabi as saying, “None of the Companions apostatized; rather, those who apostatized were a group from the rude Bedouins who did not support the religion and this does not necessitate degrading the famous Companions. What proves this is that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said what means that those Companions were small in numbers.”
Some other scholars understood this Hadeeth to refer to some disobedient persons among the Companions . Al-‘Ayni said, “The statement of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam: “… what they innovated (in religion) after you were gone…” means the acts of disobedience committed by some Companions that necessitate preventing (them) from drinking from the Prophet’s Hawdh.”
In the narration of Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri the following addition was reported: “…I would say: “They are from me.” It will be said, “You do not know what they innovated (in religion) after you were gone.” Then I would say: “Away with them, away with them for those who changed (in religion) after I was gone.”

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
Anas narrated that the Prophet said: “Some people from my Companions will come to my Hawdh (Cistern) and I will recognize them. Then, they will be driven away from it, and I will say: “They are my Companions.” It will be said, “You do not know what they innovated (in religion) after you were gone.” [Al-Bukhari]
