- The Succession to Muhammad (book)
"The Succession to Muhammad" is a book written by Wilferd Madelung and released by the Cambridge University Press in 1997.
Madelung says on page xi of the book:
:"work with the narrative sources, both those that have been available to historians for a long time and others which have been published recently, made it plain that their wholesale rejection as late fiction is unjustified and that with [not without] a judicious use of them a much more reliable and accurate portrait of the period can be drawn than has so far been realized."
He further writes in pages [http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/articles/mahdi/almahdi/04.htm 309-310] ::"In face of the fake Umayyad claim to legitimate sovereignty in Islam as God's Vicegerents on earth, and in view of Umayyad treachery, arbitrary and divisive government, and vindictive retribution, they came to appreciate his (Ali) honesty, his unbending devotion to the reign of Islam, his deep personal loyalties, his equal treatment of all his supporters, and his generosity in forgiving his defeated enemies."
