Summary
The Prophet SAW did receive and relay reports from his Companions. Examples are the account of Tamim al-Dari meeting the Dajjal in Sahih Muslim, and the news from Malik bin Muzarrid about the conversion of Zur'ah bin Saif. This falls under the hadith category riwayah al-akabir 'an al-asoghir, the narration of a greater figure from a lesser one, whose wisdom includes rebuking arrogance in taking knowledge from those of lower standing.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tuntasnya, kami nyatakan bahawa sememangnya Rasulullah SAW pernah menerima dan menyampaikan riwayat serta perkhabaran daripada sahabat Baginda
