CIMS Presentation on the Sunni perspective by Qari Zahirrudin Tahir at the  Battle of Jamal. Quoting early historical historians such as al-Tabari,  al-Baladhuri and others, Qari Zahiruddin outlined the events after the death of Uthman, the reluctance of Ali to take the office of the caliphate, and his subsequent taking of office due to insistence by the people. Despite initially giving allegiance, Talha and Zubair defected and ended up joining Lady Aisha to muster an army rallying in the name of avenging Uthman’s blood. After outlining the events leading up to the battle of Jamal, Qari went on to describe the specifics of the battle which included the retreat of Talha & Zubayr out of remorse, and their subsequent killings. The battle was eventually won by Ali, after which he sent off Lady Aisha back to Medina with dignity and respect.  Citing narrations in Sunni hadith books such as Bukhari, and referencing  Sunni Scholar’s views such as Shaykh Albani, Qari mentioned that Lady  Aisha was in error, however, she was remorseful and repented, and this is testified by her unwillingness to be buried next to the Prophet, in addition to her silence during the remainder of her life in respect to any opposition to Imam Ali.
