Customer comments on this selection.
 Nice brief history
basically a condensed version of madelung's superb work although the author does consult other sources like yaqubi, khalifah ibn khayyat etc as well.Author my guess is of shia origin but his objectivity and assesment of the 2 shaikyhs has to be applauded
Some points though i find hard to understand esp. his defence of uthman ...it is common knowledge that it was his incompetence and nepotism that destroyed the ummah, also the pitiful way in which he was killed was largely because except for a few followers all the people abandoned him ...so zayd b thabit's arrogant boast that all ansar were ready to defend him was a hollow one ...infact ansars allied themselves with the killers of uthman with the exception of a few
