The establishment of the 'Abbāsid state - Incubation of a revolt, describes the clandestine activity of the movement that began after the collapse of al-Mukhtār's venture. It describes the methods, ideology, and system of activity which the members of the movement followed in order to prepare the hearts and minds and create the wide popular support for its goals. The mechanism of the incubation of this revolt is a fascinating story, describing in detail the development of a pure Shī'ī movement, the Hāshimiyya, into an 'Abbāsī propaganda machine which prepared the revolt.
