The Sunni claim that all Sahaba are without exception just, and that “the majority of the Ummah does not go astray,” directly contradicts the Qur’an. Allah (swt) states unequivocally: “Among those around you of the desert Arabs and among those who are with you (the Messenger ﷺ) are hypocrites; you do not know them, We know them.” (Qur’an 9:101) — meaning hypocrites existed among the closest companions, whose hearts not even the Messenger of Allah (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-ālih) could recognize. Likewise, Allah (swt) warns: “If you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah.” (Qur’an 6:116). Majority ≠ truth. And the strongest principle of Qur’anic logic: even Iblis, who possessed more knowledge and closeness to Allah (swt) than any human being, fell due to arrogance — thus neither knowledge nor proximity to religious authority protects the heart from deviation. If even Iblis failed despite perfect knowledge, then it is a purely human fiction to claim that someone is automatically just and infallible merely because of his closeness to the Prophet — only Allah (swt) knows the hearts, not we.
Nevertheless, core Sunni doctrines rely almost entirely on Ahād reports, which only become binding if one first assumes the absolute righteousness of all transmitters: “Qur’an & Sunnah,” “the four rightly guided caliphs,” “the ten promised Paradise,” “who criticizes the Sahaba is misguided,” “the Ummah does not err,” individual narrations about ʿUmar, ʿĀʾishah, etc. — all Ahād. This mindset was established precisely for that reason: not because the Qur’an confirms it, but to make transmissions of human opinions appear divinely authoritative. When scholars say “authentic according to Bukhari” but deliberately do not address the Isnād chains and the evaluation of individual transmitters, they demand that people blindly follow the judgments of others — even though Allah (swt) warns against giving human beings authority over truth, and even though the story of Iblis shows that knowledge does not protect against arrogance. Whoever therefore claims to know that every Sahabi’s heart was pure, assumes for himself an attribute of Allah (swt) — for only
