This study explores the most prominent methods used in reinterpreting prophetic texts in the context of intellectual, social, and political conflicts following the death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his Household). It relies on an ideological reading of prophetic texts based on six key elements: systematization, action orientation, justification, legitimation, universalization, and naturalization. The study examines how the Salafi school presented a reversed interpretation of prophetic texts and justified the legitimacy of alternative leadership. It sheds light on the main strategies employed by ruling powers, including the reinterpretation of the Hadith of Ghadir, by exploiting tribal norms to establish a new political system and completely marginalize the opposition. The study aims to demonstrate the political reading of prophetic texts and the ideological exploitation involved in reshaping political narratives in Islam.
