Ridda Wars (Abu Bakr Fight Against Zakat Rejecters)
Well that’s what I’m saying- it clearly wasn’t amruhum shura baynahum then it was just following the norms of the Arabs from before. And the norms surely also included that a close relative be handed down the position which I’m sure you know is what the shias argue for also. Being qurayshid is not the issue- I am trying to highlight- rather the idea that some argue that ali should’ve been the caliph. Also how can you apply the verse of itmamul hujjah from 9:5 and apply it to the subjects of your state? I mean for the mushriks it was either death or islam. But your citizens are already Muslims and say that they are so sure for zakah if you take it as a tax you can sanction and maybe also for prayer though you would be saying then that abu bakr also conducted itmamul hujjah which is weird. Furthermore even Umar freed the slaves of abu bakr and disagreed with his killing of slaves. It seems it also led to many injustices as there are reports of khalid bin waleed killing nuwayrah bin Malik and being reprimanded but there are no reports of any Diyarbakir or qisas rather even his wife is taken by khalid.
