How did you learn that? a book? you guess it? Quraan? Hadeeth?
Tiffy: do you know that you are the only one who believe in this? can you name some Muslims who believe in the same thing?
Tiffy: sister, who is their Alim/scholar? what are their beliefs? or Muslims started to make Fatwaa for themselves? well if this was the case then it's new to me! I never new that before! even the minorities have names like Ahbash, Masonia.., books, scholars! Are you Quranion? this is a new sect but they I never heard of them outside Egypt!
zeinab: funny lecture! do Shia'a have Aqida books are no? I know three!
What the part thattalks about Sahaba says?
Well, mine is probably different than from most of you! Again, i do not wish to insult any one here. If i do, i apologize in advance!
I learned it by reading all i could get my hands on!
Even the Muslim scholars in general disagreed on the definition of : who should be counted as one of the Sahaba (companions) of the Prophet ?!! Studying these definitions will clarify the position of many people like Imam Al-Bukhari who used his definition of the word Sahaba to accept many of the false and fabricated Ahadith that were included in his book, Sahih Al-Bukhari. Here are the definitions considered by the Muslim Scholars:
(1) The definition of Imam Al-Bukhari : Bukhari defined the Sahaby (single of Sahaba) as the one who was in the company of the prophet Muhammed or just SEEN him. Ibn Hanbal who also has a book of his own collecting more ahadith than Bukhari accepted this definition and clarified it by saying ; "The Sahaby is anyone who accompanied the Prophet for a year, a month, a day or even an hour or even just seen him."
(2) The definition by Abdullah Ibn Omar Ibn Al-Khattab " anyone who has seen the Prophet Muhammed even for one hour as long as he reached the puberty, and is a known Muslim who understood his religion and accepted it."
According to this definition all the children (who had not reached puberty) who witnessed the Prophet cannot be counted as Sahaba.
(3)The definition of Al-Tabaey Saeed Ibn Al-Museeb; "Only those who accompanied the Prophet Muhammed for a year or two and fought with him in a battle or two should be considered Sahaba" This is a definition accepted and encouraged by Imam Al-Ghazali.

Sina, i could name you Muslims here in Q!A who believe the same but are afraid to say so openly. They give me their support in emails. It is not up to me to name them though. If they do not want to state it here, out of fear of being attacked or not accepted it's their decision.
There are Qur'an only websites out there, so yes, there are more Muslims that feel the same way.
