I was once told by a Shafei scholar that Imam Ash-Shafei rejected hadith narrated by two Sahaba. I distinctly remember one of them to be Amr ibn Al-Aas, and the second one was Abu Sufiyan or one his sons. I tried to look for references for this claim, but have failed so far.

Is there any truth to this claim?

Never heard of this. I know Imam Malik rejected many Hadith because they were against the Practices of the people of Medina(at his time). He trusted what he saw with his own 2 eyes above hadith. The other 3 Imams had no choice because they were from from Arabia, in Iraq and many Shia stories were spreading there. Salam.

Ummm... I didn't give any definite answer. All I said was Malik trusted Medinite practices over hadith. The other 3 were far away in Iraq and may have been influenced by Shia hadith. It's not impossible. – Ali Feb 28 at 0:31
