In a letter to [['Amr b. al-'As]], [[Mu'awiya]] called the companions of [[Marwan]] in opposing [[Imam Ali (a)]], "Rafida of Basra". From this report, it can be understood that whoever opposes the government, whether it be the government of truth or falsehood, he is called Rafida. Also, since Mu'awiya called his own followers Rafida, it can be concluded that it was not a negative title that time.<ref>Naṣr b. Muzāhim, ''Waqʿat ṣiffīn'', p. 34; Yaʿqūbī, ''Tārīkh al-Yaʿqūbī'', vol. 2, p. 184.</ref> | In a letter to [['Amr b. al-'As]], [[Mu'awiya]] called the companions of [[Marwan b. al-Hakam|Marwan]] in opposing [[Imam Ali (a)]], "Rafida of Basra".
