Among revisionist works on the so-called 'Abbāsid Revolution, which argue for an Arab ethnic character of the constituency of the revolution, M. A. Shaban's stands out as the most influential. Shaban's methodology and conclusions have been generally and specifically criticized. Patricia Crone aptly remarks: 'Shaba's imaginative efforts are visible on every page [of] his books'; and, Elton Daniel, in his critique of Shaban's interpretation of the wordtaqādum, perceptively comments: 'Instead of basing his theory on the meaning of the word, he seems to have simply invented a meaning on the basis of his theory.' To these 'imaginative efforts' and 'inventions' also belongs Shaban's treatment of the source material on the 'Battle of the Pass' and its aftermath
