'''Event of Saqīfa Banī Sāʿida''' (Arabic: {{ia|وَقعَة سَقیفَة بَني ساعِدَة}}) refers to the [[allegiance]] pledged by some Muslims to [[Abu Bakr b. Abi Quhafa|Abu Bakr]] as the [[caliph]] after the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)|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 by the Prophet's (s) corpse, handling the funeral, 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, versus some [[Ansar]] who had already gathered there, to announce [[Sa'd b. 'Ubada]] being their leader. | '''Event of Saqīfa Banī Sāʿida''' (Arabic: {{ia|وَقعَة سَقیفَة بَني ساعِدَة}}) refers to the [[allegiance]] pledged by some Muslims to [[Abu Bakr b.

The event took place in [[11]]/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's (a) right to the position of caliphate.
