I believe personaly that it is Major Kufr & Apostasy to curse the sahaba, slander them and doing takfir(excommunication) on sahaba. Because it means the person is disbeliever in Allah's words that He SWT is pleased with the companions Ansar and Muhajirun.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:
If a person slanders them in a way that does not impugn their good character or religious commitment, such as describing one of them as being stingy or cowardly or lacking in knowledge or not being an ascetic and so on, then he deserves to be rebuked and disciplined, but we do not rule him to be a kaafir because of that. This is how the words of those who were not regarded as kaafirs by the scholars are to be understood.
If a person curses them and slanders them in general terms, this is an area of scholarly dispute, depending on whether this cursing is motivated by mere feelings or religious doctrines. If a person goes beyond that and claims that they apostatized after the death of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), apart from a small group of no more than ten or so individuals, or that most of them rebelled and did evil, then there is no doubt that such a person is a kaafir, because he has denied what is stated in more than one place in the Qur’aan, that Allaah was pleased with them and praised them. Indeed whoever doubts that such a person is a kaafir is himself a kaafir, because this implies that those who transmitted the Qur’aan and Sunnah were kaafirs or evildoers and that the best of this ummah which is described in the verse “You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:110 – interpretation of the meaning] – the first generation – were mostly kaafirs and hypocrites. It implies that this ummah is the worst of nations, and that the first generations of this ummah are the most evil. No doubt this is blatant kufr, the evidence for which is quite clear.
Alhamdulilah Sheikh Taymiyyah rahimullah says that the one who claims sahaba left islam that they themselves left islam! Because the islam of Sahaba is evident in Quran and Sunnah, and the apostasy of Sahaba Haters is evident from Quran. Because Allah swt says that disbelievers feel enraged by the companions, meaning that only a disbeliever hates the companions of Prophet PBUH and only a believer loves them!
So only a believer loves the leadership of Umar radiyallah anhu and the expanse of Islam during his rule, and only a disbeliever hates him and wished the Persians had won.
