Tracing the evolution and transformation of the many stories and narratives about Ibn Sabaʾ as adapted by Sunnī and Shīʿī scholars alike, this work attempts for the first time to give a comprehensive account of the formation of the image of Ibn Sabaʾ as the quintessential heretic of Islam’s early years. It also offers a new interpretation of the historical importance and beliefs of Ibn Sabaʾ and those early Shīʿa reviled as his followers, the Sabaʾīya. The end result is a revolutionary, new portrait of Shīʿite origins and early Islamic sectarianism.Islamic history and civilization ;v. 91.ShīʻahHistoryMuslim hereticsShīʻahHistory.Muslim heretics.297.8/2092Anthony Sean W1510790MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781535303321The caliph and the heretic3743648UNINA
