Famous Muhadith declared Saba'i by Sunnis themselves

Sulaiman ibn Mihran al-Asadi also known as al-Aʽmash is a famous Muhadith and narrator of traditions. Even he could not save himself from the attack of Sunni scholars who even declared him Saba'i (Follower of Abdullah bin Saba)

Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal (Died 241 AH) narrates like this 

سمعته يَقُول قَالَ يزِيد بْن زُرَيْع حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَة عَن سُلَيْمَان الْأَعْمَش، وَكَانَ وَالله خربيًا سبئيا وَالله لَوْلَا أَن شُعْبَة حدث عَنْهُ مَا رويت عَنْهُ حَدِيثا أبدا

I heard my father saying that Yazid bin Zar'eh that Sh'oba said about Sulieman Al-A'mash : By Allah he was at fault and a follower of Ibn Saba. If Sh'oba hadn't narrated from him i would have naver quoted narrations from him.
