When uthman himself was assassinated, ali became the new caliph. Some moslems believed that he should have been the rightful successor to mohammed.

And they would appeal to an alternative line of the extended islamic royal family called the abasids who descended from an uncle of mohammed and Ali. And they will s the umaids.
