Abstract
In this essay, the story of "Abdullah Ibn Saba" narrated by Sayef Ibn Omar is discussed. This story is used by ISIS as a pretext for killing innocents. This story is first used by Wahhabism for their atrocities. After scrutinizing in this story, it is found that this story is fake and we cannot use it as a tool for killing others. This story is a common bound that relates Wahhabism with ISIS against Shia. The current government in Saudi Arabia uses this narration as a pretext for aggression against Shia. If we disprove this story, the pretext of Wahhabism and ISIS will fail. So, for confrontation with ISIS, we must disprove the Wahhabism ideology first, because ISIS has derived its principles from Wahhabism.
