فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ
At the Saqīfah of Banī Sāʿidah.
Following the Prophet’s death, members of the Anṣār and Muhājirūn discussed leadership. Different views were expressed, and the account proceeds to consultation and allegiance to Abū Bakr.
The episode distinguishes initial deliberative disagreement from later acceptance of a decision. Differences before a settlement do not automatically negate the governing arrangement subsequently established. The details remain historical matters to be evaluated from the transmitted accounts.
