Nazar knows that my people boast of their supporting the Prophet.
The two tribes vied with each other for their outstanding qualities and their noble deeds, to the
extent that the hostility between them became wide and included the inhabitants of the villages
and the deserts; it spoiled their hearts.
These two families disunited, while they had been regarded as the greatest of the inhabitants of
the Arab Peninsula in number and influence. As a result, Merwan b. Muhammed al‐Ju'di, the last
Umayyad Caliph, sided with the Nazaris; and this urged the Yemenis to deviate from them and
joined the summons to the 'Abbasids. Accordingly, the entity of the Umayyad government

the Muslims. If the Umayyad governments had followed, in their internal policies, the high object
Islam sought under its government, they would not have been afflicted with disasters and
disorders.

The program of the summons was full of the following:
A. They spread among the Muslims the verses and the traditions that talked about the excellence
