There are some ignorant muslims who say that saying of RadhiAllah anho [may Allah be pleased with them ] is not allowed to be used with Non -sahabas [r.a]
But if we see history of Islam ,classical scholars texts and even texts of some other sects we will see that using Radhiallah anho with Non -sahabas [r.a] is not only permissible but used by classical sunni scholars in several places as well
Quranic Proof
Al quran, 98: 8
{ جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِنْ تَحْتِهَا ٱلأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداً رِّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُواْ عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ }
98:8 jazaauhum 'Inda rab-bihim jan-naatu 'Adnin tajriy min taHtihal anhaaru khaalidiyna fiyhaa abadaa* raDiyal-laahu 'Anhum wa raDuu 'Anh* dhaalika liman khashiya rab-bah
Their reward is - with their Lord - everlasting Gardens of Eden beneath which rivers flow, in which they will abide for ever and ever; Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him; this is for one who fears his Lord
Tafseer Madarik al – Tanzeel wa Haqa´iq Al- Tanweel [ By: Abu Al-Barakat Abdullah Ibn Ahmad Al-Nasfi ] says in explaining the above verse
{ ذٰلِكَ } أي الرضا { لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُ }
raDiyal-laahu 'Anhum wa raDuu 'Anh (Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him) is for those who have fear of their Lord in their heart.
And fear of Lord is more in the heart of Ulema ( scholars) as stated by Imam Razi in his tafsir:
المسألة الثانية: هذه الآية إذا ضم إليها آية أخرى صار المجموع دليلاً على فضل العلم والعلماء، وذلك لأنه تعالى قال:
“ When this verse is understood along with other verse then the superiority of knowledge and scholars is established because the scholars have the fear of Allah in their heart’
( Tafsir Kabir , Vol 8, page 460 , under 98:8)

Tafsir Ruh ul Bayaan
under the above verse also gives a similar explaination.
Hence Radi Allahu Ta’ala can be used for any Islamic scholar who had correct Aqida , followed shariah and had fear and love of Allah in his heart.
[Tafsir Ruh ul Bayaan for 98:8]
Imam Nawawi [rah] said :
“It is recommended (mustahab) to seek Allah’s pleasure (taraddi) and mercy (tarahhum)for the Companions (sahaba), their followers (tabi’un) and those after them such as the scholars, worshippers and all good people. Hence, one should say: “may Allah be pleased with him” or “may Allah have mercy on him”, and other similar phrases. As far as what some scholars have said that the phrase “Radhi Allah Anhu” is exclusive to the Companions (sahaba), and for other than them one should only say “Rahimahu Allah” (Allah have mercy on him), it is not as they have stated and it cannot be agreed with. Rather, the correct view is what the majority of the scholars hold (jamhur) in that it is recommended to say “Radhi Allah Anhu” for all good Muslims, and its proofs are more than can be counted.”
(Kitab al-Adhkar, P. 100)
Qadi Iyad [rah] said :
,
Those other than the Prophets should be mentioned with Allah’s forgiveness (gufran) and pleasure (ridha)…” (al-Shifa’, P. 581)
