    Besides the secession of the Nukkariyya and the Ealafiyya, the Rustamid imam Aflah (c. 823-871) had to face Naffat b. Nasr�fs dissidence.

    After he was refused the function of Qantrara�fs governor, Naffat publicly slandered Aflah whom he mostly blamed for his expensive tastes and his lack of combativeness towards the A.labids. The anti-Rustamid propaganda of Naffat quickly attracted a lot of Ibadis to the Jarid as well as to the Jabal Nafusa.

    That enthusiasm just shows how, already during Aflah�fs reign, the Rustamid authority was a subject of controversy among the Ibadis.

    Although it never caused an armed revolt, that schism really worried the Rustamid leaders.

    This article gathers all the facts concerning Naffat in the Ibadi sources and tries to reconstruct his life and to draw up the list of the new opinions he proposed. The Naffatiyya movement is very interesting, on account of both its longevity and its geographical expansion, as well as for the great number of documents dealing with it. Those documents that appear throughout the centuries in the Ibadi sources allow to understand better the personality of Naffat b. Nasr, who was an intellectual rather than the leader of an organized movement.

    En plus de la secession des nukkarites et des Ialafites, l�fimam rustumide Aflah (c. 823-871) doit affronter la dissidence de Naffat b. Nasr.

    Apres s�fetre vu refuser le poste de gouverneur de Qantrara, Naffat se met a calomnier publiquement Aflah, auquel il reproche principalement ses gouts de luxe et son manque de combativite face aux A.labides. La propagande anti-rustumide de Naffat seduit rapidement de nombreux ibadites, tant dans le Djerid qu�fau djebel Nafusa. Cet engouement montre a quel point, pendant le regne d�fAflah deja, l�fautorite rustumide est remise en cause par les populations ibadites. Bien qu�fil ne provoque aucun conflit arme, ce schisme suscite de grandes inquietudes au plus haut niveau de l�fEtat rustumide. Nous avons reuni dans cet article toutes les elements qui se rapportent a Naffat, afin de tenter de reconstituer sa vie et de dresser la liste des nouvelles idees qu�fil a proposees. Le mouvement naffatite est particulierement interessant, d�fune part par sa longevite et son extension geographique, d�fautre part par le grand nombre de documents qui s�fy rapportent. Ces documents, apparaissant tres progressivement au fil des siecles dans les sources ibadites, permettent de mieux comprendre la personnalite de Naffat b. Nasr, qui fut davantage un intellectuel que le chef d�fun mouvement organise.
