If yes than why are they exempt in the 'Science of Hadith'' scrutiny process. If God and the messenger didn't give them a free pass why did the Mullahs. In case you didn't know, the "science of Hadith" actually gives a free pass to all, yes all Sahabah and the following generation, if you missed the significance of it allow me 
what it means is that the first and the second persons in the reporting chain (The much touted Isnad) are not subjected to the critical character scrutiny. ( which by the way is a collection of biographies once again collected without the 'science of Hadith' scrutiny methodology).
It gets better, according to Bukhari anybody who had merely seen the Prophet Pbuh, yes merely seen, not talked to him or listened to him, just a visual, was considered a sahabi. Now you may be able to appreciate why we are in the mess that we are in. In a nutshell there is no defense against Garbage in = Garbage out. And all because they dropped the Quranic standard.
