And He said: *"The spoils are for the poor Muhajireen (Immigrants) who were driven out from their homes leaving behind their possessions, while seeking bounty from Allah and His pleasure, and supporting the cause of Allah, and His Messenger. It is they who are veracious. And those who had occupied the home (Madinah) and faith before them, love those who emigrated to them, and find no desire in themselves for what they gave them but prefer the Immigrants to themselves, even though poverty be their own lot. And he who is rid of his own niggardliness; it is these who will be successful."* (59:8,9).

In the above Ayah Allah, the Exalted praises the Muhajireen (the Immigrants) and the Ansar (Supporters) the residents of Madinah. He describes them as people who are contending for good deeds asserting that He is pleased with them, and prepared for them heavenly gardens, and describes them as being merciful to each other, harsh against the infidels. He also describes them as people who often bow and prostrate themselves performing Salat, and describe their hearts as sound, and that they are recognized by their signs of obedience and Iman.

_*The best of the Companions are the four Caliphs: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali,* followed by the rest of the ten men who were given the good news of being among the people of Jannah, who are, beside the four caliphs, Talhah bin Ubaid Allah, Az-Zubair bin al Awwam, Abdurrahman bin Auf, Abu Ubaidah bin al Jarrah, Sad bin Abi Waqqas, Sa'eed bin Zaid._

The Muhajireen are superior to the Ansar and the combatants of the battle of Badr and Ahl ar-Ridwaan (the companions who attended the pledge of loyalty under the tree in the year the Prophet intended to perform Umrah but were barred by the Pagans.). And in general, those who accepted Islam before the conquest of Makkah and participated with the Prophet in Jihad over those who accepted Islam afterward.

*The Causes of affliction*

Jews plotted against Islam and its people by a wicked and evil man, whose name was Abdullah bin Saba', a Jew from Yemen, who pretended to be a Muslim. He began planning schemes against the third caliph, Uthman bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him.

_"The concept of Rafdh or rejection was originated by an impious hypocrite who intended dislodging Islam and abusing the Messenger, as stated by the Scholars. Abdullah bin Saba' by accepting Islam meant to distort it through his wickedness as Paul did to Christianity. He pretended to enjoy the good and forbid the wrong and worked his way through until he managed to create affliction which ended by the assassination of Uthman. Consequently, disunity and disputes befell the Muslims and afflictions were ignited by that Jew and his followers until fighting broke out between the Companions._

When he came to Kufah, _Abdullah bin Saba'_ promoted the beliefs of deifying Ali and recruited supporters to accomplish his ulterior motives. When Ali heard of him, he went after him to kill him, but _Abdullah bin Saba'_ fled to QarQees. The details of his movement are reported in the books of history.

*Shaikh al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah be pleased with him, said:* _"When Uthman, with whom Allah is pleased, was assassinated, a rift took place in the community, and the Muslims suffered grief and distress; the evil people prevailed, and the pious had the lower hand. Those who were unable to stir commotion in the past had the chance to do so subsequent to the assassination of Uthman, while those who loved to do good were incapacitated._

_People gave their pledge of loyalty to the Commander of the Believers, Ali bin Abi Talib, who was the most deserving of it and the best of the remaining Companions. Yet, disunity persisted and the commotion continued. Therefore, unity was hard to accomplish, and solidarity was remote. As a result, the Caliph along with the prominent Muslims was unable to accomplish everything they wanted. Thus the rift continued to exist, and a chain of events ensued._ *[Majmoo at Fatawa vol. 25, pp304-5]*.

*Shaikh al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah* clarified the excuse of the two conflicting parties of the Companions, who fought each other in the conflict that took place between Ali and Mu'awiyah saying: _"And Mu'awiyah neither publicized his ambition for the post of caliphate nor was he given the pledge of loyalty as a caliph when he was fighting Ali. He neither fought as a caliph nor for a claim that he deserved the Caliphate post. That was what Mu'awiyah used to confirm whenever he was asked about it. Neither did he nor his companions initiate the fight against Ali and his companions._
