 |  |  | Caliph - Succession to Muhammad: Encyclopedia II - Succession to Muhammad - Problems with the historical recordThe events of 632 were transmitted orally for more than a century; the first written records date from a period long after the disputed succession. Indeed, they date from the beginning of the Abbasid line of caliphs, who had overthrown the previous Ummayad line, claiming historical justification in their descent from Muhammad's uncle Abbas as well as the misdeeds of the Ummayads.
