Shi'ites believed that Husayn bin Ali, Muhammad’s son-in-law, should succeed him
Ooops I made a mistake. Brain clog after a final exam :)
Not Husayn; I meant Ali. He is Muhammad's son-in-law and the one the Shi'as wanted. Husayn is his son and was killed by the 6th caliph Yazid after trying to take power.

Ooops I made a mistake. Brain clog after a final exam :) I trust and hope that the final went well? And I hope not too many more?
Thanks for the clarification, still way above my pay grade.
Cheers!
