نقل علي عاصمة الخلافة من المدينة إلى الكوفة، لأن قريشاً لم تكن تنصره على بيعته 1.
الأسباب كما يعرضها الكتاب
الكوفة عاصمة
قراءة المؤلف
يربط العقاد اختيار الكوفة بفكرة الإمامة التي تجمع الشعوب، لا بالعصبية القبلية، فالدولة الدنيوية تشد أزرها بالعصبية، والخلافة الدينية تشد أزرها بالأخاء بين الشعوب 3. وهذا تأويل المؤلف للحركة، وليس نصاً من مصدر تاريخي.
