Lives Of The Sahaba 34 - Ali Ibn Abu Talib - PT 05

Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi continues to cover the Caliphate of Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA and goes into the story of the "Battle of Jamal," the very first civil war in Islam, famously associated with tensions between Aisha RA and Ali RA. The Battle of the Camel or Battle of Jamal took place at Basra, Iraq between  allies to Ali RA -Ali and Harith ibn Rab'i and the allies to Aisha RA - Talha ibn Ubaydullah, Zubayr ibn al-Awwam And Marwan ibn al-Hakam. The bone of contention arose from the fact that Aisha RA opposed Ali's status as Khalifa on the basis that he had not tried to find out the culprit behind the assassination of Uthman Ibn Affan RA. The battle procures its name from the camel ridden by Aisha RA.  Ali RA blamed Aisha RA due to the aftermath of the warfare and asked her brother - Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr to take her to Basra where she stayed for a few days before heading to Medina.
