When hazrath did not worry about becoming fourth caliph then why shiites?
If I understand your question correctly, you are asking "If 'Ali did not worry about becoming the fourth Caliph, then why did the Shii'at 'Ali exist?" This question is based on a false supposition that 'Ali "created" the Shiites. The Shiites existed as a political front throughout the reigns of Abu Bakr and 'Omar and solidified their opposition during the Caliphate of 'Othman. When 'Ali became Caliph, the Shiites were naturally ecstatic and their movement became more popular when it was clear just how pious 'Ali was as leader. Shiite Islam became a separate religious movement when the Shiites began to form their own separate Caliphates such as the Idrissid and Fatimid Caliphates which saw 'Ali as the hallmark against which all rulers should justify themselves.
