The death of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) was a tremendous shock to the members of the Muslim community in Medina. However, death had not been entirely absent from their thoughts. On several occasions, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) had hinted that his appointed time was approaching, during the Farewell Pilgrimage, at Ghadir Khumm, and in Medina after his return. He had indicated that he was awaiting the moment when he would answer the call of his Lord. He had also designated Ali (peace be upon him) as his successor. Thus, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) could rest peacefully, rejoicing in his meeting with his Lord.
However, events did not unfold as planned. Instead, they took an extremely serious turn when the gathering at Saqifah took place without the knowledge of Ali (peace be upon him), at the very moment when he was laying the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) to rest in his final resting place.
The Saqifah gathering was one of the most significant events of the period following the Prophet's death. The compilation of the Holy Qur'an by Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was the second major milestone during that decisive period. Accordingly, we have divided the events discussed in this chapter into two sections: Saqifah and the Preservation of the Holy Qur'an.
The author of the book Al-Imamah wa al-Siyasah (The Caliphate and Politics) mentioned that when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) passed away, the Prophet's uncle, Al-Abbas, requested that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) be pledged allegiance.
He said:
"O Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah honor his face! Extend your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you. Then it will be said: 'The uncle of the Messenger of Allah has pledged allegiance to the cousin of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family).' Your family will also pledge allegiance to you. For when this matter is established, it cannot be challenged..."
Al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) had previously met Abu Bakr and asked him: "Did the Messenger of Allah leave you any instructions?"
Abu Bakr replied: "No."
Al-Abbas also met Umar and asked him the same question. Umar likewise replied: "No."
Thereupon, Al-Abbas said to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Extend your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you, and your family will also pledge allegiance to you."
