It is true that they fought each other. However, while some claim that it was due to extreme ta´assub to their madhhabs, other sources indicate that it was due to Aqidah, the Hanafis of Khurasan at that time being Mu´tazila, and the Shafi´is of Ahl as-Sunnah, and that fighting erupted due to preservation of what was thought to be a correct Aqidah.

Wa'Allahu a´lam.

Where you get this information brother?
Because iv read that first they fought together against shiia then each other.. iv read also that it was a cruel "civil war" about 300 000 people die .. it's possible this? How can we call these people muslim when they kill brothers?
