Withholding from disputes that occurred among them
The Prophet (SAW) said: "If my companions are mentioned, be restrained; if the stars are mentioned, be restrained; if the divine decree is mentioned, be restrained."
Reference: Al-Mu'jam al-Kabir of al-Tabarani, graded Sahih by al-Albani, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA)
Explanation
Scholars teach restraint regarding historical disagreements among the Companions rather than taking sides or passing judgment.
