Umar beat Abu Huraira for narrating hadith excessively
Sunni Brothers says that the Shia falsly reject him, there is proof that the Sunni reject him to.
The first man who was unkind to him was the second Caliph, Umar Bin Khattab. Ibn Athir and Ibn Abi'l-Hadid in his Sharhe-Nahju'l-Balagha, Volume III, page 104 (printed in Egypt), and several others have reported that after Caliph Umar appointed Abu Huraira governor of Bahrain in 21 A.H., the people informed the Caliph that Abu Huraira had amassed great wealth and had purchased many horses. Umar therefore deposed him in 23 A.H. As soon as Abu Huraira entered the court, the Caliph said: "O enemy of Allah and enemy of His Book! Have you stolen Allah's property?" He replied, "I never committed theft, but the people have given me gifts."
Ibn Sa'ad in Tabaqat, Volume IV, page 90, Ibn Hajar Asqalani in Isaba, and Ibn Abd-e-Rabbih in Iqdu'l-Farid, Volume I, write that the Caliph said: "'When I made you the governor of Bahrain, you had not even shoes on your feet, but now I have heard that you have purchased horses for 1,600 dinars. How did you acquire this wealth?' He replied, 'These were men's gifts which profit has multiplied much.' The Caliph's face grew red with anger, and he lashed him so violently that his back bled. Then he ordered the 10,000 dinars which Abu Huraira had collected in Bahrain be taken from him and deposited in the account of the Baitu'-Mal."
This was not the first time that Umar beat Abu Huraira. Muslim writes in his Sahih, Volume I, page 34, that during the time of the Prophet, Umar Bin Khattab beat Abu Huraira so severely that the latter fell down on the ground.

SIAPAKAH ABU HURAIRAH MENURUT ALI IBN ABI THALIB, IBNU UMAR,, AISYAH, DAN BEBERAPA PERAWI HADIST SHAHIH LAINNYA???
Abu Hurairah banyak meriwayatkan hadishadis
isra’iliyat, seperti Adam yang diciptakan seperti bentuk Allah, setan
lari sambil kentut mendengar suara azan, Nabi Sulaiman yang mengancam
akan membelah bayi yang diperebutkan dua orang ibu, Allah menaruh
kakinya ke neraka, Nabi Sulaiman yang meniduri tujuh puluh wanita dalam
semalam tapi hanya melahirkan seorang bayi separuh manusia, Nabi yang
membakar sarang semut karena digigit seekor semut dll.
bagaimana komentar mereka terhadap Abu Hurairah, berikut sebagian yang terekam dikitab-kitab shahih ahlussunnah:
Ali
bin Abi Thalib dan Abu Hurairah Tatkala Ali bin Abi Thalib mendengar
Abu Hurairah berkata tentang Rasul Allah: ‘Telah bersabda sahabatku’,
‘Telah menyampaikan kepadaku sahabatku’, ‘Aku melihat sahabatku’, Ali
berkata: ‘Sejak kapan (Rasul Allah saw menjadi sahabatmu) ya Abu
Hurairah? (1)
Ali bin Abi Thalib menyebut Abu Hurairah adDausi ini sebagai pembohong yang paling berat dari umat ini (akdzabu annas).
Pada kesempatan lain Ali berkata: ‘Di antara orang hidup yang paling
membohongi Rasul Allah adalah Abu Hurairah adDausi. Ali juga menamakan
Ka’b alAhbar sebagai pembohong. (2)
Aisyah dan Abu Hurairah
Ibnu
Qutaibah melukiskan hubungan Aisyah dengan Abu Hurairah: ‘Engkau
menyampaikan hadis yang tidak kudengar dari Nabi saw’. Demikianlah
katakata Aisyah yang ditujukan kepada Abu Hurairah. Abu Hurairah
menjawab dengan jawaban yang tidak beradab dan tanpa hormat, seperti
diriwayatkan oleh Bukhari, Ibnu Sa’d, Ibnu Katsir dan lainlain: ‘Engkau
(terlalu) sibuk dengan cermin dan tempat celak!’. Dan di bagian lain ia
berkata kepada Aisyah: ‘Aku tidak disibukkan oleh cermin dan tempat
celak serta pewarna, tetapi aku melihat Anda demikian’. Dan diriwayatkan
oleh Dzahabi bahwa Aisyah berkata kepada Abu Hurairah: ‘Keterlaluan Abu
Hurairah, berlebihan yang engkau sampaikan tentang Rasul Allah!’. Dan
Abu Hurairah menjawab: ‘Aku tidak disibukkan oleh cermin dan tidak oleh
tempat celak dan tidak juga dengan alat pemoles (yang menjauhkan aku
dari Rasul Allah)!’
Who is Abu Hurairah?
According to Sunni traditions, his great knowledge came from the Prophet himself: "The Prophet began to ladle knowledge with his hands and put it into the garment saying to Abu Hurayra: “Join it to your chest.” Abu Hurairah joined it to his chest and became infallible from forgetting; therefore he was the best of companions in keeping Sunna in mind and the most aware of it." Having become infallible from forgetting ahadith, he then went onto narrate thousands of sayings from the Prophet.
I want to look at a few examples of these apparent infallible ahadiths and ask whether they appear to make much sense, let alone whether the Holy Prophet could have narrated such sayings. To begin with, the Holy Prophet apparently narrated several ahadith about Prophet Moses. Various Sunni books quote Abu Hurairah talking about Prophet Moses:
The Angel of Death used to come to people visibly, but when he came to Prophet Moses to take his life, Moses slapped him, gouged his eye, and sent him back to God one-eyed. After this accident, the angel of death went to people invisibly!
Another wonder of Abu Hurairah's was the competition between Moses and the rock. Moses put his cloths on the rock to swim in the sea away from people. The rock ran away with Moses' cloths in order to force him to follow it nakedly as he was born in front of the Israelites in order to refute the rumor saying that Moses had a hernia. Moses ran after the rock shouting: “O, rock, my cloths. O rock, my cloths.” The rock stopped after ending its task. Moses began beating the rock with his stick severely until he made some scars in the rock.
And another one about an ant that pinched prophet Moses. Moses ordered his followers to burn the village of the ants. Then Allah inspired to him: “Because of an ant that pinched you, you burnt a nation, which pleased Allah!”
Another tradition, this time about Prophet Solomon who said: “I will go to bed with a hundred women tonight that every one of them will give birth to a boy, who will fight for the sake of Allah.” The angel asked him to say inshallah. He did not say. So no one of his wives gave birth to a baby save one, who gave birth to half a human being!

Abu Hurayra's tradition contradicted the Noble Quran
He narrated that the Prophet had said: "No one will be entered Paradise by his deeds." They said: "Nor you, messenger of Allah." He said: "Nor I." 1
This tradition was to be thrown away because it contradicted the holy Qur'an. Allah said: (Surely this is a reward for you, and your striving shall be recompensed) 76:22 (Quran).
