A gathering of 40 saints led by this figure called the Kirklar Majlisi (mej-LEE-see) is the model for worship in cem ceremonies. In the only modern sect termed "ghulat," this figure is revered as "the name" in a trinity with Salman the Persian, or "the gate." Ibn Nusayr (IB-un noo-SAI-ur) founded a sect named for this figure that holds Catholic-derived ceremonies with consecrated bread and wine. Vigils held on the 19th and 21st of Ramadan stem from this person's perceived intimacy with Allah after being attacked during sujud. Descendents of this man's first and second-born sons are given the title sayyid; those two sons are included in the People of the Cloak. This man's death in Kufa marked the end of the first Fitna. Critics of the Saqifa meeting argue that holding a shura would have led to this husband of Fatima being elected. For 10 points, name this first Shia imam. ■END■
