Did the Companions write down all the hadith from the Prophet SAW, and have their writings reached us?
Short answer
Writing of hadith did take place during the time of the Prophet SAW, but not all Companions wrote down what they heard and saw, because not all of them were skilled in writing.

Summary
Writing of hadith did take place during the time of the Prophet SAW, but not all Companions wrote down what they heard and saw, because not all of them were skilled in writing. Companions known to have had written sheets include Ali bin Abi Talib, Abdullah bin Amr (Sahifah Sadiqah), Abdullah bin Umar and Jabir bin Abdillah (Mudawwanah). The ruling states that their writings have reached us today.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walaubagaimanapun, tidak semua sahabat menulis daripada Nabi SAW kerana tidak semua sahabat dapat menulis dengan baik.
