Succession to Muhammad: The succession to Muhammad raises questions about the leadership of Islam after his death: Muhammad's successor, how they should be elected, conditions of legitimacy and the role of successor.  Answers to these questions have led to several divisions in the Muslim community since the first century of Muslim history, giving rise to the Sunni, Shia and Khawarij schools.  After Muhammad's death in AD 632, disagreement broke out over who should succeed him as leader of the Muslim community.  Since none of his sons survived into adulthood, hereditary succession was not an option.  Umar (Umar ibn al-Khattab), a prominent companion of Muhammad, nominated Abu Bakr.  Others added their support, and Abu Bakr was made the first caliph.  This choice was disputed by some of Muhammad's companions, who believed that Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib), the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, had already been designated as his successor by the Prophet.  During the First and Second Fitnas the Islamic community divided into a number of groups, each of which had a specific idea about successorship.  After the Rashidun caliphate evolved into monarchies and sultanates, Sunnis held power in most areas; Shias emerged in opposition.

He sent a letter to Husayn confirming their loyalty, before knowing that the 30,000 followers that he gained would all betray him.  He was executed by the newly installed governor, Ubaydallah ibn Ziyad, on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, 60 AH, and is buried at the back of Great Mosque of Kufa.

Muhammad declined to accept that gift because it was from a polytheist and asked Abu Bara' to embrace Islam.  In response, Abu Bara' requested that Muhammad send some Muslims to the people of Najd to invite them to convert to Islam.  At first, Muhammad was quite apprehensive of this, as he feared that some harm might befall on these Muslim missionaries.  Yo assuage Muhammad’s hesitation, Abu Bara' guaranteed the safety of the Muslim emissaries.  He stated, "I will protect them. "Ibn Ishaq's Biography claims that forty men were sent to them; but Sahih al-Bukhari states that there were seventy — Al-Mundhir bin ‘Amr, one of Banu Sa‘ida, nicknamed ‘Freed to die’ — commanded that group, who were the best and most learned in the Qur'an and jurisprudence.

However, it was reported to Ibn Ziyad that Hani was seen sitting in the doorway of his house every evening and thus he was aggressively called to the presence of the new governor.
