The Companions (sahabas) of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) were the greatest human beings after the Ambiyah to walk the earth.
As a great man once said, "The Sahaba (companions) were sahabah because of suhbah (companionship) Of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)". Meaning their greatness was an aquisition due to his (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)'s companionship.
No human being can reach the rank of the companions (radhiAllahu anhum). The greatest Awyliah is not equal to the least of the companions.
The companions are the people that Allah (subhanahu wa Ta'ala) choose to accompany the Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam), and transmit the Qur'an and His (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) mubarak sunnah to the whole world until yawm al-Qiyamah.

The Sahaba
the Ṣaḥābah الصحابة (companions) were the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). Sahaba is plural; the singular is Ṣaḥābi (fem. Sahabiyyah).
The best words in their best order in any language cannot adequately depict the way God's Messenger (peace be upon him) looked at the dirham and dinar, wealth and property, and the world and all that it stands for. Indeed, even the disciples who had served their time at the feet of the Prophet's companions (may Allah be pleased with them) or the disciples of such disciples never regarded fortunes and treasures fit enough for the dusthole. Their pure and pious lives, their indifference to wealth and worldly possessions, the way they showered bounty on one and all and preferred others over their own selves, their contentedness with the barest minimum and their heroic selflessness and self-denial take one's breath away. One can only picture to oneself the nobleness of heart and openhanded generosity as well as self-abnegation and unearthly disposition of the great teacher who had enlarged the minds of all the later godly souls
