WikiProject Middle Ages To do:

The Shiites in this Battle were not Arabs; they were Shiites who rebelled against the Arabs

According to William L. Cleveland in his book a History of the Modern Middle East non-Arab Muslims who were also called the Mwalis played a significant role in the rebellion in Zab, the main cause of this battle was that the Muwalis who were non-Arabs who converted to Islam and were Muwalis to Ali that is Shiite were treated as second class subjects to the Umayyad State that was ruled exclusively by Arabs. So, your claim that the Shiites who actually rebelled were Arabs is questionable.
