However, with Muhammad dead, many of the tribes who had been forcibly converted wanted out of the new empire. Consequently, Abu-Bakr spent much of his reign in the wars of Apostasy re pacifying tribes that had been conquered earlier. Upon Abu-Bakr's death in 634 Umar took over the caliphate. Umar favored those people and tribes who had followed Muhammad earliest, appointing them to governorships in the rapidly expanding empire. During this period and the years after, many warlords who had previously been consumed with rivalries within the Arabian peninsula fought to spread Islam. Driven by religious zeal and the desire for the spoils of war, they brought Muslim rule to Syria, Egypt, and what was left of the Sasanian Empire. .
Umar was assassinated in 644 by a Persian slave and succeeded by Uthman, passing over Ali, Muhammad's nephew. Uthman followed different policies from Abu-Bakr, favoring his own clan, the Umayyads, as well as other Meccan clans without regard for Muhammad's companions. He also increased the centralization of the empire, and issued a standardized Koran. This provoked anger amongst many and led to his assassination in 656.
After Uthman's death, Ali ibn Abu Talib was elected on the principle that a relative of Muhammad should be caliph, Ali's succession was mired in controversy due to the circumstances of Uthman's death. The first Fitna, or civil war was fought when Ali failed to adequately investigate the murder. At the battle of the Camel, Ali defeated a party supported by Ai'sha, Muhammad's favorite wife. Soon after this victory, Mu"awiya, a Syrian regional governor and cousin of Uthman, began a campaign against Ali to avenge Uthman's death. .
At the battle of Siffin in 657 after months of fighting, a group of moderates in both camps agreed to arbitrations to decide if Uthman's murder was justified. When Ali agreed to these arbitrations, a breakaway sect abandoned him, believing that he had violated Islamic principles.
