'''Event of Saqīfa Banī Sā'ida''' (Arabic: وقعة سقیفة بنی ساعدة) refers to the allegiance pledged by some Muslims to [[Abu Bakr]] as the [[caliph]] after the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]'s demise. No one from [[Banu Hashim]] and [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] was present in the event, and [[ | '''Event of Saqīfa Banī Sā'ida''' (Arabic: وقعة سقیفة بنی ساعدة) refers to the [[allegiance]] pledged by some Muslims to [[Abu Bakr b. Abi Quhafa|abu Bakr]] as the [[caliph]] after the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]'s demise. No one from [[Banu Hashim]] and [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] was present in the event, and [[Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] who was already announced by the Prophet (s) as his successor was taking care of the Prophet (s)'s corpse when the event of Saqifa was taking place. Some [[Muhajirun]] (Muslims who had migrated from [[Mecca]] to [[Medina]]) gathered in order to announce Abu Bakr as the caliph and some [[Ansar]] gathered there in order to announce [[Sa'd b. 'Ubada]] as the caliph. | ||
The event took place in 11 A.H. (632) in [[Saqifa Bani Sa'ida]]. The allegiance to Abu Bakr remained subject to controversies and disputes in Medina for a while; it was refused by some [[Sahaba]]. The Shiites (followers) of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] considered Abu Bakr's [[caliphate]] to be against the Prophet (s)'s commands and will in [[Ghadir al-Khumm]]; thus they took it to be a usurpation of Imam 'Ali (a)'s right to the position of caliphate. According to Shiites, the allegiance to Abu Bakr is a deviation from the right path of Islam. | The event took place in 11 A.H. (632) in [[Saqifa Bani Sa'ida]].
