This is an amazing report that illustrates the uncompromising stance of the Sahaba in safeguarding the teachings of the Messenger ﷺ. Imran ibn Husayn [RA] reported that modesty is entirely good, but Bushayr, drawing from some so-called books of wisdom, claimed that

Some heretics need to know this—those who recklessly discard the Sunnah,
relegating it as speculative, or worse, distort its meanings. They arrogantly claim that the Prophet ﷺ did not mean what he explicitly said or assign a false meaning to what he said to reject it, or that his statements were not comprehensive. Imagine a Sahabi narrating,
“All innovations are misguidance,” only for some misguided Sufi Ash‘ari to object, “But he did not mean all—some of our innovations are indeed obligatory or commendable,” thereby justifying their heretical practices such as Mawlid.
Others go even further, perverting the clear, explicit meanings of thousands of verses and hadiths, claiming that the Messenger could not possibly have meant what he stated, as it is clear kufr to them, and the Prophet ﷺ was merely appeasing the ignorant masses
who could comprehend nothing but anthropomorphism.
These likes of these narrations show us how invaluable the Prophet ﷺ and his words were to the Muslims—his teachings stand as the ultimate criterion over any prior texts or philosophies.

If only the Sahaba knew these zanadiqa would emerge, armed with the heresies of Greek pagans, not only rejecting the Sunnah but daring to accuse the very man who brought revelation from God of speaking absolute blasphemy!
