| | Succession to Muhammad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While they were engaged in washing the body and preparing it for burial, say the Shi'a, Abu Bakr and Umar invaded a meeting at Saqifah, proposed Abu Bakr as the new leader, and forced those assembled to submit, manhandling one of the Medinan elders who opposed them in the process. | | | Virtually all authorities agree that dormant fissures in the Muslim community, between the Meccan immigrants, the Muhajirun, and the Medinan converts, the Ansar, threatened to split the Ummah. | | | Ali was not told of the meeting, and his name was not mentioned as one of those eligible for the leadership, despite Muhammad's clear words at Ghadir Khumm. |

| | The Helpers claimed to be exceptionally privileged in that they had preceded others in Islam, had enjoyed the respect of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and had struggled hard for the sake of Islam; this, they claimed, entitled them to the leadership. | | | Similarly, the Migrants claimed that they were the most deserving of the leadership, given the fact that they were from the same city as the Prophet and had abandoned everything for the sake of Islam and the Prophet. | | | The meeting that took place at the Saqifah was NOT attended by such prominent personalities as Ali, peace be upon him, Abu Dharr, Miqdad, Salman, Talhah, al-Zubayr, 'Ubayy b. |

| | Abu Bakr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Initially, 'Ali, Muhammad's son-in-law, disputed it, asserting his own title to the dignity; after a time, he too pledged his allegiance, but the difference of opinion as to his claims gave rise to the controversy which still divides the followers of the prophet into the rival factions of Sunnites and Shiites. | | | Thus, upon the death of Muhammad (8 June 632), Abu Bakr became the first caliph, by the acclamation of the people present at the meeting of Saqifah. | | | During his last illness the prophet designated Abu Bakr to lead prayers in Muhammad's absence: Moslems took this gesture as an indication that Abu Bakr would succeed Muhammad. |

| | The first was the one led by the members of the Prophet's Household; the other expressed itself at the Saqifah and in the Caliphate that emerged after the passing of the Prophet. | | | [36] Imam 'Ali disavowed the idea of consultation and the recourse to it by those who attended the Conference of Saqifah, where Abu Bakr had used the pretext of his closeness to the Prophet. | | | Clearly, the former meant belief in Guardianship (wisayah) and the Imamate [35], along with an emphasis on close kinship to the Prophet; and none of that reflected any belief in the idea of consultation. |
