The word '''Rāfiḍī''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|رافضی}}), among Shi'as, refers to any of those who abandoned the army of [[Zayd b. 'Ali|Zayd b. 'Ali b. Husayn]] and left him alone. Some [[Sunni]] labeled all Shi'a as "Rafidi" because they refuse the [[caliphate]] of the first caliphs. Shi'as rely on some [[hadith]]s take the label as an honor.


Arabic verb "Rafada" (َ{{iarabic|رَفَض}}) means: to refuse, and in the tradition of [[Sunni]] sect every [[Shi'a]] is referred to as Rafidi (one who refuses), because he or she refuses the [[caliphate]] of the first three caliphs. Sunnis tend to denigrate Shi'as by labeling them with such a term and quote narrations from [[the Prophet (s)]] in this regard. On the contrary, Shi'as rely on some [[narrations]] to take the label as an honorific title for themselves. However, among Sunni scholars, [[Shafi'i]] holds that: if the term Rafidi signifies the love for [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)|the Progeny of Muhammad (s)]] then let everyone know that I am a Rafidi.
