Allah turned Musa's staff into a snake then back into a staff. Allah also made Musa's hand white as another sign.
"And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"
He said, "It is my staff: I lean on it, and I beat down leaves with it for my sheep, and I have many other uses for it."
He said, "Throw it down, O Moses!"
So, he threw it down, and suddenly it was a snake, running around.
He said, "Pick it up, and be not scared: We shall restore it to its former state."
And press your hand under your arm, and it will come out (brightly) white without any disease, as another sign,
So that We may show you some of Our great signs."

What were the wars of Rida and who did the Muslims fight against (This is the one of the most famous incidents during the Khalifa of Abu Bakr)
The wars of Rida translate as the apostasy wars
The Muslims fought against three different groups
1.) The Muslims fought against the people who left Islam and became pagans again
2.) The Muslims fought against "muslims" that followed other Prophets. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) is the last messenger and none comes after him.
3.) The Muslims fought against Muslims that did not pay the Zakat.
They fought the other two groups as non-Muslim but they fought the third as rebels.
There has been a difference of opinion since then of what must someone do in Sunni Islam to be considered a Muslim. The three main categories are:
1. They must at least pray sometimes (every Ramadan do some prayers, every Jumma, etc.) Based on Quran and Sunnah
2. They must pray and do Zakat. Based on Quran and Sunnah
3. They perform the five pillars of Islam. They say that you cannot differ on the importance on one pillar to another so you have to do them all
