Did not the mutazila have a unbroken chain back to Muhammad, did not the khawatij also, what about the shia? yet they are considered deviants according to sunni muslims?

The Mu'tazilah and Khawaarij sects didn't have any "unbroken chain" back to the Prophet

The Mu'tazilah sect was started by an individual, Waasil ibn Ataa', who never met the Prophet

Similarly, the Khawaarij sect had no chain back to the Prophet

When Ibn Abbaas, a great companion of the Prophet

went to Nahrawan, the camp of the Khawaarij, in order to debate with them, the first thing he noticed that despite their large numbers, he couldn't find a single companion of the Prophet

among them
