href="/wiki/Muhammad" title="Muhammad">Muhammad</a> is the central issue in the schisms that divided the early <a href="/wiki/Muslim_community" class="mw-redirect" title="Muslim community">Muslim community</a> in the first century of <a href="/wiki/Islamic_history" class="mw-redirect" title="Islamic history">Islamic history</a> into numerous <a href="/wiki/Islamic_schools_and_branches" title="Islamic schools and branches">schools and branches</a>. The two most prominent branches that emerged from these divisions are <a href="/wiki/Sunni_Islam" title="Sunni Islam">Sunni</a> and <a href="/wiki/Shia_Islam" title="Shia Islam">Shia</a> branches of <a href="/wiki/Islam" title="Islam">Islam</a>. Sunni Islam asserts that <a href="/wiki/Abu_Bakr" title="Abu Bakr">Abu Bakr</a> rightfully succeeded Muhammad through a process of election. In contrast, Shia Islam maintains that <a href="/wiki/Ali_ibn_Abi_Talib" class="mw-redirect" title="Ali ibn Abi Talib">Ali ibn Abi Talib</a> was Muhammad's designated successor. These differing viewpoints on succession stem from varying interpretations of early Islamic history and the <a href="/wiki/Hadiths" class="mw-redirect" title="Hadiths">hadiths</a>, which are the recorded sayings of Muhammad. Sunni Muslims contend that Muhammad did not explicitly appoint a successor, leaving the choice of leadership to the Muslim community. They recognize the legitimacy of Abu Bakr's rule, who was elected at <a href="/wiki/Saqifah" class="mw-redirect" title="Saqifah">Saqifah</a>, as well as that of his successors, collectively known as the <a href="/wiki/Rashidun_caliphs" class="mw-redirect" title="Rashidun caliphs">Rashidun caliphs</a>. Conversely, <a href="/wiki/Twelver_Shia_Muslims" class="mw-redirect" title="Twelver Shia Muslims">Twelver Shia Muslims</a> believe that Muhammad had explicitly designated Ali as his heir, notably during the <a href="/wiki/Event_of_Ghadir_Khumm" class="mw-redirect" title="Event of Ghadir Khumm">Event of Ghadir Khumm</a>, following the revelation of verse 5:67 in the <a href="/wiki/Quran" title="Quran">Quran</a>. According to Twelver Shia doctrine, the subsequent rulers after Muhammad are considered illegitimate, with Ali and his lineage of eleven divinely-appointed <a href="/wiki/Imam" title="Imam">Twelve Imams</a> being the rightful successors. The last of these Imams, <a href="/wiki/Mahdi" title="Mahdi">Mahdi</a>, entered <a href="/wiki/Occultation_(Islam)" title="Occultation (Islam)">occultation</a> in 260 <a href="/wiki/Islamic_calendar" title="Islamic calendar">AH</a> (874 CE) due to threats from his enemies.<a href="#cite_note-Momen-1985h-1">[1]</a> The anticipated <a href="/wiki/Reappearance_of_Muhammad_al-Mahdi" title="Reappearance of Muhammad al-Mahdi">return of Mahdi</a> holds significance for most Muslims, although different sects maintain varying perspectives on this matter.<a href="#cite_note-Momen-1985i-2">[2]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Historiography">Historiography</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Succession_to_Muhammad&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Historiography">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Historiography_of_early_Islam" title="Historiography of early Islam">Historiography of early Islam</a></div> Most Islamic history was <a href="/wiki/Oral_tradition" title="Oral tradition">transmitted orally</a> until after the rise of the <a href="/wiki/Abbasid_Caliphate" title="Abbasid Caliphate">Abbasid Caliphate</a>.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> Historical works of later Muslim writers include the traditional biographies of <a href="/wiki/Muhammad" title="Muhammad">Muhammad</a> and quotations attributed to him—the <a href="/wiki/Prophetic_biography" class="mw-redirect" title="Prophetic biography">sira</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hadith" title="Hadith">hadith</a> literature—which provide further information on Muhammad's life.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> The earliest surviving written sira (biography of Muhammad) is Sirat Rasul Allah (Life of God's Messenger) by <a href="/wiki/Ibn_Ishaq" title="Ibn Ishaq">Ibn Ishaq</a> (d. 761 or 767 CE).<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Although the original work is lost, portions of it survive in the <a href="/wiki/Recension" title="Recension">recensions</a> of <a href="/wiki/Ibn_Hisham" title="Ibn Hisham">Ibn Hisham</a> (d. 833) and <a href="/wiki/Al-Tabari" title="Al-Tabari">Al-Tabari</a> (d. 923).<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> Many scholars accept these biographies although their accuracy is uncertain.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> Studies by Schacht and <a href="/wiki/Ign%C3%A1c_Goldziher" title="Ignác Goldziher">Goldziher</a> have led the scholars to distinguish between legal and historical traditions.

God.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> This was shortened to <a href="/wiki/Khalifa" title="Khalifa">khalifa</a>, from which the word caliph arose.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> Abu Bakr's tenure as the caliph lasted just over two years.<a href="#cite_note-Jafri-1979-64">[64]</a> Though he was appointed caliph by those at Saqifah, Abu Bakr designated Umar as his successor, reportedly against the advice of the Quraysh elders.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> Umar was instrumental in the ascension of Abu Bakr to the caliphate.<a href="#cite_note-Madelung_1997_56-66">[66]</a> In 644, on his deathbed, Umar tasked a committee of six with choosing the next caliph among themselves. The committee included Ali, <a href="/wiki/Uthman" title="Uthman">Uthman ibn Affan</a>, and his brother-in-law, <a href="/wiki/%27Abd_al-Rahman_ibn_%27Awf" class="mw-redirect" title="'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf">Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf</a>.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> The tie breaker vote belonged to <a href="/wiki/%27Abd_al-Rahman_ibn_%27Awf" class="mw-redirect" title="'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf">Abd al-Rahman</a>, Othman's brother-in-law, and it has been suggested that the makeup and configuration of this committee left a small possibility for the nomination of Ali.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> In the final showdown, <a href="/wiki/%27Abd_al-Rahman_ibn_%27Awf" class="mw-redirect" title="'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf">Abd al-Rahman</a> offered the caliphate to Ali on two conditions: first, he should follow the way of the <a href="/wiki/Quran" title="Quran">Quran</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Sunnah" title="Sunnah">Sunnah</a> of Muhammad, and second, he should follow the example of Abu Bakr and Umar. Ali is said to have accepted the first condition but declined the second one, adding that he would rely only on his own judgment in the absence of any precedent from the Quran or the Sunnah.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> Abd al-Rahman then presented the same conditions to Uthman who readily accepted them.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> It has been suggested that <a href="/wiki/%27Abd_al-Rahman_ibn_%27Awf" class="mw-redirect" title="'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf">Abd al-Rahman</a> was well aware of Ali's disagreements with the past two caliphs and that Ali, known for his sincerity, would have inevitably rejected the second condition.<a href="#cite_note-Momen-1985b-71">[71]</a> Uthman's reign was marked with widespread accusations of nepotism. Under Uthman's rule, his tribe, the <a href="/wiki/Banu_Umayya" class="mw-redirect" title="Banu Umayya">Banu Umayya</a>, is said to have regained its pre-Islamic influence and power.<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a> Uthman installed his relatives, including his cousin, <a href="/wiki/Mu%27awiya_I" title="Mu'awiya I">Muawiya</a>, to rule the Islamic territories.<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> According to Glassé, Uthman was assassinated by rebels in 656, in a climate of growing dissension against the despotism of the <a href="/wiki/Banu_Umayya" class="mw-redirect" title="Banu Umayya">Banu Umayya</a>.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> Shortly after the assassination of Uthman, the caliphate was offered to Ali, who declined the position at first.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> <a href="/wiki/Reza_Aslan" title="Reza Aslan">Aslan</a> attributes Ali's initial refusal to the polarizing impact of Uthman's murder on the community, while <a href="/wiki/Will_Durant" title="Will Durant">Durant</a> writes that, "[Ali] shrank from drama in which religion had been displaced by politics, and devotion by intrigue."<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> In the absence of any serious opposition and urged particularly by the <a href="/wiki/Ansar_(Islam)" title="Ansar (Islam)">Ansar</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraqi</a> delegations, Ali eventually accepted the first pledges of allegiance in the <a href="/wiki/Al-Masjid_an-Nabawi" class="mw-redirect" title="Al-Masjid an-Nabawi">Prophet's Mosque</a> in Medina.<a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a> It appears that Ali personally did not force anyone for a pledge though the strong pro-Ali atmosphere of Medina might have exerted some pressure on his opponents. In particular, <a href="/wiki/Sa%27ad_ibn_Abi_Waqqas" class="mw-redirect" title="Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas">Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Abd_Allah_ibn_Umar_ibn_al-Khattab" title="Abd Allah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab">Abdullah ibn Umar</a> and <a href="/wiki/Usama_ibn_Zayd" title="Usama ibn Zayd">Usama ibn Zayd</a> refused to acknowledge the authority of Ali.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> <a href="/wiki/Talha_ibn_Ubayd_Allah" title="Talha ibn Ubayd Allah">Talha</a> and <a href="/wiki/Zubayr" class="mw-redirect" title="Zubayr">Zubayr</a>, both companions of Muhammad with ambitions for the high office, likely gave their pledges though they later broke their oaths, claiming that they had pledged their allegiance to Ali under public pressure.<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> There is, however, less evidence for violence here than in <a href="/wiki/Abu_Bakr" title="Abu Bakr">Abu Bakr</a>'s election, according to <a href="/wiki/Wilferd_Madelung" title="Wilferd Madelung">Madelung</a>.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> Ali inherited the internal problems of Uthman's reign.<a href="#cite_note-Momen-1985c-81">[81]</a> Immediately after his election, Ali quelled an armed insurrection led by <a href="/wiki/Aisha" title="Aisha">Aisha</a>, a widow of Muhammad, and Talhah and Zubayr. Afterwards, Uthman's governor of Syria, <a href="/wiki/Mu%27awiya_I" title="Mu'awiya I">Muawiya</a>, declared war on Ali and a long and indecisive civil war ensued.<a href="#cite_note-Glassé-2003-82">[82]</a> The first four caliphs are referred to by the <a href="/wiki/Sunni_Islam" title="Sunni Islam">Sunni</a> as the <a href="/wiki/Rashidun" title="Rashidun">Rashidun</a> (rightly-guided) caliphs, though only Ali is recognized by the Twelver <a href="/wiki/Shia_Islam" title="Shia Islam">Shia</a>.<a href="#cite_note-HoffmanP6-83">[83]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Later_successions">Later successions</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Succession_to_Muhammad&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Later successions">edit</a>]</div> Abu Bakr's view that the caliphate should remain within the <a href="/wiki/Quraysh" title="Quraysh">Quraysh</a> tribe persisted in later generations. According to <a href="/wiki/Michael_Cooperson" title="Michael Cooperson">Cooperson</a>, however, this definition of the caliphate had its costs.<a href="#cite_note-CoopersonP25-84">[84]</a> First, it facilitated the rise of the <a href="/wiki/Umayyad_Caliphate" title="Umayyad Caliphate">Umayyads</a> who, despite being of the Quraysh, were among the most powerful enemies of Muhammad before their late conversion to Islam.<a href="#cite_note-Cooperson-2000-85">[85]</a> Their rise to power marginalized both the <a href="/wiki/Muhajirun" title="Muhajirun">Muhajirun</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Ansar_(Islam)" title="Ansar (Islam)">Ansar</a>, and reduced the caliphate, as an institution, to no more than a worldly kingship. Second, according to Cooperson, was the exclusion of Ali, who, insofar as the kinship of the Quraysh with Muhammad was concerned, had an arguably better claim to the caliphate. Ali eventually became caliph, but not in time to stop the rise of the Umayyads.<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> After the assassination of Ali in 661, his eldest son, <a href="/wiki/Hasan_ibn_Ali" title="Hasan ibn Ali">Hasan</a>, was elected caliph in Kufa.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> Muawiya then marched on Kufa with his army, whereas Hasan's military response to Muawiya suffered defections in large numbers, largely facilitated by military commanders and tribal chiefs who had been swayed to Muawiya's side by promises and offers of money.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> Under attack from Muawiya and after a failed assassination attempt on his life, a wounded Hasan ceded the caliphate to Muawiya in 661.<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> Notably, under their agreement, it is said that Muawiya appointed Hasan as his successor.<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> However, Hasan died in 669 at the age of forty six, before Muawiya.<a href="#cite_note-Momen-1985d-91">[91]</a> It is believed that he was poisoned at the instigation of Muawiya.<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> Before his death in 680, Muawiya arranged for the succession of his son, <a href="/wiki/Yazid_I" title="Yazid I">Yazid</a>, who is often remembered as a debaucher who openly violated the Islamic norms.<a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a> In particular, Muawiya summoned a council (<a href="/wiki/Shura" title="Shura">shura</a>) of the Muslim elite in 676 and won their support through flattery, bribes, and threats.<a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> Notably, Muawiya was unsuccessful in securing the oath of allegiance from Hasan's younger brother, <a href="/wiki/Husayn_ibn_Ali" title="Husayn ibn Ali">Husayn</a>, who, after Muawiya's death, publicly denounced Yazid's legitimacy. In 680, after surrounding them in <a href="/wiki/Karbala" title="Karbala">Karbala</a> and cutting off their access to water for multiple days, Yazid's forces slaughtered Husayn, alongside his family and his small group of supporters.<a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a> The women and children were taken prisoner and marched to <a href="/wiki/Kufa" title="Kufa">Kufa</a> and then <a href="/wiki/Damascus" title="Damascus">Damascus</a>, some of whom are said to have perished from mistreatment.<a href="#cite_note-Momen-1985e-96">[96]</a> The tragic death of Husayn and his supporters marked the <a href="/wiki/Second_Fitna" title="Second Fitna">Second Fitna</a>, which finalized the <a href="/wiki/Shia%E2%80%93Sunni_relations" title="Shia–Sunni relations">schism</a> between the Sunni and the Shia.
