Nașibi () (plural ) is a term used in Islamic scholarship to describe a Muslim who is opposed Ali ibn Abi Talib and his family. The word “Nasb” in Arabic means to establish or raise something, and from this comes the word “Nasibat al-Shar” and “al-Harb” (The Settlement of Evil and War). Sunnis and Twelver Shiite writers agree that the Nawasib are those who believe that Ali ibn Abi Talib was immoral, but who do not believe that he was an infidel, as the Khawarij did. Some Twelver Shiites however extend the term Nawasib to include all their opponents, regardless of whether they believe he was im

==Sunni Views on the Nawasib== Sunnis believe that the Nasibis are those who harm the Ahl al-Bayt by word or deed, and they were an independent sect that disappeared with time. The scholar Abu Ja'far al-Tahawi said: "This is a statement of the creed of the People of the Sunnah and the Community according to the school of thought of the jurists of the religion, Abu Hanifa al-Nu'man ibn Thabit al-Kufi, Abu Yusuf Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim al-Ansari, and Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani al-Wa'ili." Then he said: "We affirm the caliphate after the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, first for Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, in order to give him preference and precedence over the entire ummah, then for 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, then for 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, then for 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and they are the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and the Rightly-Guided Imams." In Fatawa Razawiyyah, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan writes that a nasibi is one who is an enemy of the Ahl al-Bayt (the family of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him). Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said: "The Nawasib are those who are hostile to the Household of the Prophet, slander them, and curse them. They are the opposite of the Sunnah." Ibn Taymiyyah said in explaining the creed of the People of the Sunnah and the Community: "They love the Household of the Messenger of Islam, support them, and observe the will of the Messenger of Islam regarding them... They disavow the way of the Rafidis, who hate the Companions and curse them, and the way of the Nawasib, who harm the Household of the Prophet in word or deed. The Sunnis and the community refrain from discussing what happened between the Companions (Al-Aqeedah Al-Wasitiyyah, Majmu’ Al-Fatawa 3/154)
