'''Abdullah son of Sheba''' (ca. 600 CE), also known as '''Ibn [[Sawda]]''' (after his mother) was probably one of the [[Ansar]] [[Sabaeans]] and a leader of the Sabi[[Noahism|Sebo'een un]] after Muhammad (PBUH) who were opposed to the reformation of Petrine [[Sabi'ism ]] by the Caliphate into Imperial Islam. His stance was later used as the foundation for the later sect of the Shiites, although this is disputed.
