The existence of Abd Allah ibn Saba’ has not been denied by anyone possessing even the least amount of knowledge and a pinch of intellect, with the exception of some in this era. They are but a few, comprising of the likes of the Orientalists and those who follow them,  a group of ignorant Muslims and extremist Shia from this era. All of them have abandoned the clear truth and have grasped on to contradictory opinions, which are weaker than spider’s web. This book sets out to clarify the errors in this regard, proving the existence and role of this malicious individual in dividing this ummah.
