Tracing the evolution and transformation of the many stories and narratives about Ibn Saba? as adapted by Sunn? and Sh??? scholars alike, this work attempts for the first time to give a comprehensive account of the formation of the image of Ibn Saba? as the quintessential heretic of Islam?s early years. It also offers a new interpretation of the historical importance and beliefs of Ibn Saba? and those early Sh??a reviled as his followers, the Saba??ya. The end result is a revolutionary, new portrait of Sh??ite origins and early Islamic sectarianism. 410 0$aIslamic history and civilization ;$vv. 91. 606 $aShi??ah$xHistory 606 $aMuslim heretics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aShi??ah$xHistory. 615 0$aMuslim heretics. 676 $a297.8/2092 700 $aAnthony$b Sean W$0940653 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457827203321 996 $aThe caliph and the heretic$92121147 997 $aUNINA
