Bakriyyah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bakriyya or Bakrism (Arabic: البكرية al-bakriyya, adjective form Bakri) is an Arabic term that was historically used by some Shia clerics to refer to the followers of Abu Bakr, and is still used by some Shia to refer to the Sunnis.

Among those who used the term were Ibn Babawayh,[1] Al-Shaykh Al-Mufid,[2] Shaykh Tusi,[3] and others.
