Editing Companions of the Prophet (section)

===Shia views===
Following the [[Saqifah|consultation of companions]] about the successor of Muhammad, Shi'i scholars, therefore, deprecate hadith believed to have been transmitted from alleged unjust companions and place much more reliance on hadith believed to have been related by Muhammad's family members, the [[Ahl al-Bayt]], and by the companions who supported [[Ali]]. The Shia claim that Muhammad announced his successor during his lifetime at Da'wat Dhu al-Ashira,<ref>{{cite book |last1=Burton |first1=Sir Richard |title=The Jew the Gypsy and El Islam |date=1898 |location=San Francisco}}</ref> then many times during his prophethood and finally at the [[event of Ghadir Khumm]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Razwy |first1=Sayed Ali Asgher |title=A Restatement of the History of Islam & Muslims |page=276}}</ref>

Shias consider that any hadith where Muhammad is claimed to have absolved all ṣaḥābah from sin is a false report by those who opposed the Ahl al-Bayt.<ref name="noormags 02">{{cite web |last1=Hadi |first1=Muhammad |title=Companions of the Prophet in view of Quran and Imams |url=https://www.noormags.ir/view/fa/articlepage/300525/%D8%B5%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D9%86%D8%B8%D8%B1-%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A2%D9%86-%D9%88-%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%84-%D8%A8%DB%8C%D8%AA-%D8%B9%D9%84%DB%8C%D9%87%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85?q=%D8%B5%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%87%20%D8%A7%D8%B2%20%D9%86%D8%B8%D8%B1%20%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86%20%D9%88%20%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%84%20%D8%A8%DB%8C%D8%AA%20%D8%B9%D9%84%DB%8C%D9%87%D9%85%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85&score=355.3409&rownumber=1 |website=noormags}}</ref>
