''' | The '''Six-Member Council''' refers to the council [['Umar b. al-Khattab]] (d. [[23]]/[[644 CE|644]]) assigned for selecting the next caliph, which led to [['Uthman b. 'Affan]] being elected as the caliph of Muslims. 'Umar had obliged all the people to conform to the final agreement of the council and commanded to cut off any opponents' head. [[Imam Ali (a)]] had anticipated the council would select 'Uthman, since the appointed members all had the same bias. | ||
