Many factors contributed to the murder of ʿUthmān I, including: prosperity and its impact on society; changes in the nature of society during his reign; the fact that ʿUthmān I came after ʿUmar I; the departure of the senior Ṣaḥābah from Madīnah; tribalism; the cessation of conquest; ignorant displays of piety; personal ambitions on them of some people; the conspiracy of those who were full of hate; careful preparation of a list of accusations against ʿUthmān I; various ways and means that were used to stir up the people; and the role of ʿAbd Allāh Ibn Saba’ in the turmoil. These causes and reasons have been discussed in detail in my book Taysīr al-Karīm al-Mannān fī Sīrat ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān.1 The people loved ʿUthmān I very much because of his good conduct, his closeness to the Rasūl of Allah H,the aḥādith that praised him, and the fact that he married two of the Rasūl ’s H daughters (which is why he was called Dhū al-Nūrayn).2 He was one of the senior Ṣaḥābah who were given the glad tidings of paradise. He was subjected to injustice during his lifetime by some of the thugs; He could have put an end to them, but he refrained for fear of being the first one to shed the blood of the ummah of Rasūl H. His policy in dealing with the turmoil was based on forbearance, deliberation and justice. He prevented the Ṣaḥābah M from fighting the rebels and chose to protect the Muslims by giving his own life. Hence his killing was the cause of a great deal more turmoil, and his murder cast a shadow on the subsequent turbulent events. His killing had a great impact on the Muslims. The Muslim society fractured as a result of this major event, and the people became divided. What may increase 1 Al-Sallabi: ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān, p. 311-340 2 The one with the two lights [Editor]. 7 his status and prove his innocence of everything that was attributed to him is the attitude of the other Ṣaḥābah towards his murder. They were all agreed that he was innocent and that those who shed his blood should be punished, but they differed as to how that was to be achieved. This will be discussed below, but first we want to shed some light on the role of ʿAbd Allāh Ibn Saba’ in the turmoil in general. 8 Impact of the Saba’iyyah in causing turmoil. The Saba’iyyah - fact or fiction? The reality of ʿAbd Allāh Ibn Saba’ The early scholars were unanimous in agreeing that the Saba’iyyah existed; there were no exceptions among them.

    Appendix 3 Further Reading Since the completion of Etan Kohlberg’s D.Phil. dissertation in 1971 there has been a marked increase in the number of studies devoted to subjects discussed there. This ap- pendix, jointly prepared by the author and the editor, lists some of these studies; oth- ers may have been inadvertently omitted. The material is arranged in two sections, in conformity with the main themes of the dissertation chapters included in this volume. The first section contains studies on the Companions, with a particular focus on their role during the fitna and the effects of the fitna on Sunni and Shiʿi theology and politi- cal thought; this section also includes a limited number of titles on concepts associ- ated with the Companions such as the prophetic tradition (sunna) and the doctrine of consensus (ijmāʿ). Studies listed in the second section deal with the doctrine of the imamate in Imāmī Shiʿism until the end of the Buwayhid period. Five of the selected titles (numbers 38–40, 47, 54) are translations of Arabic primary texts. Several of the titles mentioned here also appear in the Bibliography. §1. The Companions 1.

May the Prophet Muhammad be mentioned within the heavens amongst Allah’s Angels. May he, his family and all of his followers be blessed and guided. This is a beginner’s book of ‘hadith’ to enable Muslim youth to learn more about the statements, manners and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. The narrations in this booklet have been selected based upon their authenticity, comprehensiveness (manners, creed, and virtues, and jurisprudence), their clarity, and ease for the beginner to read, understand, memorize and practice in their daily lives. The narrations are arranged in order of the four rightly guided caliphs, except for the first hadith which is the hadith of Umar ibn al Khattab ‘Actions are by intention’. I chose to start this compilation with this hadith as a reminder to purify our intentions and to make sure that we rectify our intentions before everything that we do.

  • The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab 3
    The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab 3 I The Motivation Behind This Work This book is not one with a political agenda. It is meant neither to support nor to critique any contemporary regimes or policies.1 Indeed, the driving force behind this work is much greater and more important than that. It has to do with, first, the religion of Islam as preached by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself and, second, with the honor and rights of an individual Muslim, Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab. The name Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab (and correspondingly “Wahhabis” and “Wahhabism”) has been heard quite often throughout both the Muslim and non-Muslim worlds during the past two centuries. In reality, ibn Abdul-Wahhaab is not a man who is “shrouded in mystery.” His writings, as well as the writings of his closest students and descendents, are well-known and easily available today in virtually any part of the world. Although he is not shrouded in mystery what has been said about him over the years has definitely been filled with both fact and fiction. Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab was both a fellow human being and a fellow Muslim. As such, he has the right to be studied in an impartial and objective manner. That is, he has the right to a “fair trial.” No matter how much one may oppose his teachings, one does 1 This means that many issues that are bandied about today must be considered beyond the scope of this particular work.
