Madelung believes that this is not of the type of "coup d'etat carried out by Abu Bakr and Umar" in Saqifah incident, but stems from the deep jealousy of the Quraysh towards Ali; Therefore, Ali 's only chance to moderate the affairs of the Muslims could have been his full participation in the council, which was founded by Umar.
Ali ibn Abi Talib (Arabic: عَلِيُّ بْن أَبِي طَالِب, romanized: ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib; c. 600–661 CE) was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and was the fourth Rashidun caliph who ruled from 656 CE to 661, as well as the first Shia imam.
Ghurar al-hikam is a collection of over ten thousand pietistic and ethical sayings attributed to Ali, taken from various sources, including Nahj al-balagha by the Twelver theologian Sharif al-Radi (d. 1015), Mi'a kalema (lit. ' hundred sayings [of Ali] ') by the Abbasid-era scholar al-Jahiz (d.
