History
[edit]The Dhammiyya Shia was one of the sects believed to have been derived from the Saba'iyya (followers of Abdullah Ibn Saba).[citation needed] The sect was also known as the 'Ulyaniyya or 'Alya'iyya, named after ‘Ulyan (or 'Alya) ibn Dhira' as-Sadusi (or ad-Dawsi, or al-Asdi), and appear to have been active around 800 CE.[1][2]
Beliefs
[edit]The Dhammiyya Shia had the following beliefs:[3][4]
- They believed that Ali was a close friend of Muhammad and should have been the first caliph
- A group of the Dhammiyya believed that both Muhammad and Ali were divine. Therefore, some of them held Muhammad and Ali as equals.[5]
- A group of the Dhammiyya believed that Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali, who are in one Al-i Aba (overcoat), make up one unity.
- The same one spirit entered all 5 of them at the same time.
- All 5 of them have no superiority over one another.
- Fatima, along with the other 4, is also a male and not a female.[6]
