The hadith of Mu'adh, which some sects use as evidence by its implication that some of the Companions did not convey some of the sayings of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that He addressed specifically to them, such as Anas, and which are found with some people from these sects.

The questioner : The hadith of Mu'adh; some sects argue that the hadith of Mu'adh, meaning, it may be implied from its meaning that some of the Companions did not convey some of the sayings of the Messenger of Allah. They say, meaning, they attribute them to Anas ibn Malik, saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed Anas ibn Malik specifically in some hadiths. The hadiths exist now, but they are not written in the authentic collections; meaning, they are with specific people who consider their shaykhs?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Meaning, they have hadiths, they say, "It was narrated to us," meaning, they are not found in the authentic books. Or they are written, but "It was narrated to us from," from the chain of narration to Anas ibn Malik, meaning, some of the shaykhs of the Sufis, saying that the hadiths we have were transmitted from Anas ibn Malik and were not published.
The Shaykh : Through whom?
The questioner : Through the chains of narration that they present.
The Shaykh : This is of the same kind as the Rafidah; they have chains of narration specific to them, saying they have *Al-Kafi* as the original of al-Bukhari. This is not acceptable.
The questioner : It may be that Anas ibn Malik conveyed...
The Shaykh : We say this if Mu'adh ibn Jabal conveyed this hadith, and likewise Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), even though the Messenger of Allah said:. Abu Hurayrah, after 'Umar turned him back, reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and 'Umar explained to him what he intended, and he said: , and he agreed to this, yes.
I say, if the Companions conveyed to this extent, how
can they have hadiths that they did not convey!
The questioner : Meaning, He addressed specific people, and the people...
The Shaykh : There are many things, such as the saying of the Prophet to Ibn 'Abbas while he was riding behind him, "O boy, shall I teach you some words?" and his saying to Mu'adh: when he asked him about what enters Paradise and what keeps one away from the Fire. There are many things. The Messenger of Allah addresses one person, but His address to one person is His address to the entire Ummah.
