No, he didn't. It was left for Muslims to elect their successor.
The main variance between the shia and the sunni occurred after the death of the holy prophet .the shia believes that the prophet is ordered by Allah to express Ali Ibn Abitali as his succeSsor in Gadir- Ghom and according TO lots other evidences.but after the death of the prophet ,some of his companion did not obey the prophet speech and chose Abu-baker as the prophet successor.
Shia Muslims believe only God has the right to select the successor of prophet SAWW and God selected Ali a.s. and prophet announced it in front of 120,000 Muslims at Ghadir after his final Hajj of his life.
if you mean salman farsi (sahaba of prophet) yes. Ali (sa) said all people had doubt about who is the true successor after prophet unless 3: Salman, Abouzar, Meghdad. the other people all doubted. but these 3 did not have any doubt that Ali (sa) is the true successor.
It was just due to some Muslims believed that Aly Ibn Abou Taleb should be the Muslim Ruler successor after death of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for being from the prophet family and husband of the prophet daughter while others nominated the successor through election. However, it is not a real splitting. All Muslims believe in the same prophet, same Quran, and perform same ritual worships.
Neither of the two choices. The successor of Hazrat Muhammad SAW, the last prophet of Islam, was his best friend and father-in-law, Hazrat Abu Bakar RAU.
They are the the Muslims who believe that the Prophet (saw) had chosen his successor (Aly) before his death, and he was the rightful 1st caliph.
