OTL, Abu Bakr was chosen to lead after the Prophet. but what if the chiefs decided that it was better to be lead by the descendents of Muhmamad, namely, through Ali. what would the effects had been on Islam, the Middle East and the state of Ahl al Bayt?
 
Maybe we would see a schismatic group that breaks off in support of Abu Bakr, instead of one supporting Ali as in OTL?

There was no break then (and who were the "Chiefs"). The break occured at Karbela. 50 years later.
