In Search of Truth

Part 5

The anarchy and disorder created in the Arab Muslim empire by Hazrat Usman's long twelve year misrule increased two fold by the assassination of Usman.

With Ali's ascension to power, the Muslim world got its first caliph of the Hashemite tribe of the Quraish, a blood relation of the Prophet Muhammad. Ali was a brave warrior but not a skilled politician. He made a serious mistake while sitting in power. Flashed before Ali's eyes an ugly and terrifying image of the Muslim empire. He remembered that dark night, when Hazrat Omar came to his door and shouted: 'Who are you in the house, come out and accept the caliphate of Abu Bakr, otherwise I will set fire to the house along with the people.' Hazrat Fatima came out and said, ' There are some faithful companions of Prophet as guests in my house. Omar, do you want to burn the house of the Prophet's daughter, who holds the keys to Paradise?’ They rejected Abu Bakr's caliphate like Fatimah and Ali. After that incident, Hazrat Fatima requested her husband, after her death, to bury her secretly in the dark of night, so that Hazrat Omar could not attend her funeral. Hazrat Fatima passed away shortly after this.

Everywhere in the kingdom, Hazrat Ali saw the face of drunken, ambitious, anti-Sharia, despotic autocrats, woman addicted, indulgent, rulers. Hazrat Ali simultaneously declared all provincial governorships 'invalid'. Whether out of anger, out of passion, or in revenge for the life-long humiliation and torture inflicted on him and his wife Hazrat Fatima by Abu Bakr, Omar and Usman, Hazrat Ali's act was proof of short-sightedness. Several provincial governors refused to accept Ali's caliphate, which was far from resigning until the trial for the assassination of Caliph Usman. The issue of 'Usman's murder trial' was a plot by Hazrat Muabiya, a death trap for Ali.

It was Hazrat Muabiya who was able to thoroughly understand the secret of the creation of Islam by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Muabiya was the Political Secretary of Muhammad (PBUH). So he probably enjoyed the highest fruits of political Islam. Muabiya was never interested in accepting Muhammad's (pbuh) 'Islam', but imitated Muhammad's trickery, hypocrisy, deceit and sham very well. And that day it was with that skill Muabiya was determined to use to put out the last light of Muhammad (pbuh) forever.

The whole Muslim world was divided into two parts. The rebels of Egypt, Makkah, Kufa and other provinces involved in the killing of Usman threatened Hazrat Ali. If Usman's murder was prosecuted, then Ali would have to leave the world in a very sad and tragic way like Usman. Ali saw that he had fallen into a seven-way tie today. Ali who is addicted to playing blood with a sword, who participated in 98 battles as a companion of Ali Muhammad (PBUH) and received the titles of 'Ali Haider', 'Saifullah' and 'Bir Shreshtha' from him, Ali is confused today, very tired. Today, the bloodthirsty, drunken sword of Ali wants a break, a breath of peace. But that would not happen. Ali did not take long to understand that power and blood were complementary to each other.

Here it is good to know the brief introduction of Hazrat Muabiya to understand the various activities of Hazrat Muawiya's life and the reason of his enmity with Hazrat Ali of the family of Muhammad (PBUH). Hazrat Muawbya was the illegitimate son of Hinda, the wife of Hazrat Abu Sufyan. Muabiya was born three months after Hinda's marriage to Abu Sufyan. His mother Hinda was a 'prostitute'. Several Urdu-speaking historians have used the term 'prostitute' in characterizing Hinda. According to other sources, Hinda, though not a prostitute, was a polygamous woman and Muabiya was her bastard child, some evidence was found in the sayings of Hazrat Hasan (RA) and Hazrat Aisha (RA). Sham Ibn Muhammad Kalvi (RA) writes in his book 'Kitabe Mosab' - Hazrat Hasan (RA) one day sarcastically said to Hazrat Muabiya, "Do you remember who your real father is?"

On hearing the news that Hazrat Ayesha's brother Muhammad Ibn Abu Bakr had been killed by Muabiya, Abu Sufyan's daughter Umm Habiba (Muabiya's sister and Prophet's wife) cooked a whole goat and sent it to Ayesha as 'charity'. Ayesha asked, 'What does this mean?' Umm Habiba replied, 'The reward for killing Usman, your brother killed Usman.' Ayesha cursed and said - "May Allah's wrath be upon the polygamous daughter of Hinda". After that, as long as Ayesha was alive, Umm Habiba and her mother Hinda were cursed after the prayer. In the history of Islam, Hinda was known for eating Prophet's uncle Hazrat Hamza’s (RA) liver!

After Muhammad's (PBUH) conquest of Makkah, Abu Sufyan was forced to accept Islam to save the lives of his family and tribe. The enmity between himself and Muhammad, from the Battle of Badr to the conquest of Mecca, was a long history written with the blood of countless people of the Quraysh clan. A pathetic defeat of the Umayya dynasty at the hands of an orphaned son of the Hashemi dynasty who had never been spoken harshly to the boy who loved him for forty years! The sadness of that defeat never faded from the minds of Abu Sufyan and his family. Abu Sufyan requested his son Muabiya to accept 'Islam' with a promise from Muhammad (pbuh) to a high government job (Secretary of State). At first he did not agree, but later he agreed. Muabiy embraced Islam with a long-term future plan in mind.

Muabiya was a very visionary, ambitious, shrewd politician. Under him, the Muslim soldiers wanted to occupy India and China by occupying many regions including Tripoli, Armenia, Cyprus. Ali thought that the cries of Usman's death in the alleys of Madinah, and the sound of people crying in the sky and air did not fade and instead he had to get involve with a war against Aysha in battle of Jamal. After tens of thousands of lives were lost in the bloody Battle of Jamal, another war with Muabiya would not be appropriate. Hazrat Ali sent the Governor of Hamdan province, Hazrat Jarir, the head of Bani-Bazila, to Syria with a proposal to Muabiya - "The governor of Syria should immediately accept Hazrat Ali's caliphate and take the oath." Hazrat Muabiya could foresee the issue. The handsome Muabiya charmed Hazrat Jarir with such enchanting and mind-blowing hospitality that Hazrat Jarir forgot what he had come for. In the eye-catching colorful palace of Muabiya, Hazrat Zarir (RA) returned after three long months a completely different person. He came and said - "Muabiya (RA) is not willing to sit in any kind of discussion with Hazrat Ali on any state issue, until the murderer of Hazrat Usman is hanged". He also said - 'Hazrat Usman's bloody clothes and his wife Naila's severed finger are still hanging on the minaret of the mosque in Damascus. The people of Syria have vowed to die in the name of Allah, until the murderers of Hazrat Usman and those who planned to kill him are not hanged, the bloody clothes of Hazrat Usman and the severed finger of his wife will be hanging in the mosque of Damascus’. Companion Hazrat Malik Al Ashtar (R.A.) became very angry and scolded Hazrat Jarir - 'You did not give our proposal to Muabiya at all. For three long months, Muabiya has kept you drunk with amusement in his palace, and has made all preparations for war against us. This is the companion Hazrat Malik Al Ashtar (RA) who forced Hazrat Ayesha's two sisters-in-law Hazrat Talha (RA) and Zobair (RA) to accept Hazrat Ali's caliphate at gunpoint’.

None of the four Caliphs of Islam abdicated in the face of hundreds of demands of the people during their lifetime. All three of them lost their lives in the mob's fury.

Hazrat Ayesha hoped that her two brothers-in-law Hazrat Talha (RA) or Hazrat Jobair (RA) would be the caliph of Medina after Usman. The people elected Hazrat Ali as the fourth Caliph of Madinah by a huge vote. Prophet's wife Ayesha already hated Hazrat Ali with all her heart.

When Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) boasted that the woman in whose bed Gabriel used to bring revelations, people could not disbelieve when Aisha announced that Hazrat Ali was involved in the murder of Usman. Companion Hazrat Talha and Hazrat Jobair (Aisha's two brothers-in-law) took oath accepting Ali as Caliph. On Aisha's advice, they denied the oath, saying that they had been forced at gunpoint to accept Ali as caliph.

The Umayya clan vowed to avenge the killing of Usman at the call of Hazrat Ayesha. She was joined by a number of Muslims who became Muslims to save their lives from the arms of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and whose parents and relatives were killed by Hazrat Ali on the orders of Prophet Muhammad.

Meanwhile, Hazrat Ali abolished all provincial governorships immediately after gaining the caliphate. Some Umayya governors resigned but looted the treasury and emptied it. And many rejected Ali's caliphate. For Hazrat Ali, the problem posed by Ayesha proved to be more serious than the provincial governor problem. At first he could not believe that his youngest step mother-in-law Bibi Ayesha would take up arms against him.

Hazrat Ayesha, the reward of the governor of Yemen deposed by Ali, mounted the beautiful, strong and fresh camel al-Askar. 1000 thousand armed soldiers behind her. Hazrat Talha on the right, Hazrat Jobair on the left. Ayesha's life did not have the joy of childhood. Youth was full of extreme disappointment and pain. Ayesha had been scandalized by people as she disappeared on the battlefield. People accused her of lying. Today, Ayesha's eyes were streaming out lifelong fire of jealousy.

Ayesha's body's blood stream was flowing upstream today. 2 thousand more people joined Ayesha's party on the way to Basra. The governor of Bosora stopped Ayesha. Ayesha entered the capital with 3 thousand soldiers. They captured Hazrat Ali's new caliph, Governor Usman bin Honaif, while he was praying and drove him out of the city with his beard and mustache shaved off. By the time Hazrat Ali got the news of Ayesha's attitude through Umm Salma, it was too late. Ayesha's army had already captured Basra after killing 40 innocent people. Ali immediately left for Basra with only 900 soldiers.

Prophet's beloved sons (sons of Hazrat Ali) Hasan and Hossein could not sit still. On the instructions of his father, Hazrat Hasan (RA) went to Kufa. From there he collected 9 thousand soldiers and joined his father. Usman bin Honaif, the defeated governor of Ali, arrived and described the situation in Basra. Ali smiled and said - "I sent the old governor, I see he came back as a young man".

Gradually, Hazrat Ali's army numbered 20,000 and Ayesha's 30,000. At first there was a temporary war of words between Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Talha. As the evening drew near, they returned to their respective tents, saying that there would be more talk the next day. Ayesha had been watching her husband Muhammad's (PBUH) war tactics since childhood. The next day, Ayesha did not come so far to talk more. In the darkness of the night, Aisha's army suddenly attacked Hazrat Ali's army-tent. In no time a fierce battle began. From night to morning passed noon, the war did not stop. Aisha's army became weak. They prepared to retreat. By now the dry-desert has turned into a river of blood with the fresh blood of ten thousand Muslims.

In front of the hero who received the title of 'Saifullah' (Sword of God) from the Prophet, sat the high head of the woman on the camel! Hazrat Ali could no longer tolerate. He ordered that the legs of Ayesha's camel should be cut off. Ayesha fell to the ground along with the camel.

Hazrat Ali said to Ayesha's brother Muhammad Ibn Abu Bakr, pick up your sister and bring her to Medina. In the history of Islam, this battle is better known as 'Jange Jamal'.

Hazrat Ali breathed a sigh of relief, but he could not even imagine that a terrible fate was waiting for his beloved son Hazrat Hasan and Hussain at Siffin and Karabala. Hazrat Ali (RA) traveled from Basra to Kufa after capturing Ayesha (RA) who was defeated in the battle of Jamal and sent her to Madinah, deciding to move the capital of the Muslim empire from Madinah to Kufa. Hazrat Muabiya (RA) was still the governor of Syria. Ali also knew that Muabiya (RA) would not accept Hazrat Ali as Caliph so easily.

Mysteriously, Muabiya, instead of supporting Hazrat Aisha in the battle of Jamal, did not participate in the war, and adopted neutrality. It was of great benefit to Ali. But Ali did not know that Hazrat Muabiya had actually set a trap to imprison Hazrat Ali in an iron cage in Syria. Muabiya spread the word throughout the kingdom that Ali could have saved Usman if he had wanted to, but the power-hungry Ali instead cooperated with the assassins and usurped power unjustly by force.

While Ali was on the battlefield against Ayesha in the Battle of Jamal, Muabiya was busy with another important task. Hazrat Muabiya wanted to establish Umayyad rule in the whole world. Before that, he wanted to extinguish the light of life of Hazrat Ali, the only heir of Prophet Muhammad of the Hashemi dynasty.

When Ali offered Hazrat Talha (RA) and Zubair (RA) to take the oath of acceptance of his caliphate, Malik al-Ashtar stood over their heads with an open sharp sword. Hazrat Talha, the brave hero, who in the Battle of Uhud stood forward as a shield to save the Prophet's life and received the enemy's arrows on his chest and back, before the sword of Malik Al Ashtar, reluctantly accepted Ali's caliphate. When Companion Zubair remained silent when asked, Malik al-Ashtar roared like a lion and said to Hazrat Ali (RA): 'Ali (RA), let Zubair come to me, and I will split his head in two with one stroke of the sword’. Note that the four Caliphs of Islam There had been several candidates for the post of caliph each time, but never democratically elected. Seizing power through election engineering, rigging and conspiracies started from the time of the first Caliph, Hazrat Abu Bakr. Hazrat Ali was no exception.

Hazrat Zarir realized that it was not safe for him to stay there. He left Kufa and went to Syria and joined Hazrat Muabiya's army. Seeing Muabiya's conspiracy and evil trickery, Hazrat Ali was convinced that the matter should be decided by arms. So war again, bloodshed again. Hazrat Hasan, Ali's eldest son, forbade his father to invade Syria. Hasan said - 'Father, leave the caliphate if necessary, do not go to war with Muabiya, Muabiya is a deadly horrible person!’

Ali left for Syria with fifty thousand soldiers. Ali wanted to invade Syria from the north. On the way to the border area of Syria, Muabiya's small army engaged in skirmishes with Hazrat Ali's army at several places.

Hazrat Ali came with his army to a place called 'Siffin' in Syria and faced the main army of 120 thousand of Muabiya. Meanwhile, the number of Ali's soldiers stood at 90 thousand. Ali realized that the barricades on all sides, blocking the waterways, deploying 120,000 soldiers, all these were well planned by Muawiya for many days.

Coming to the field of Siffin, Ali (RA) made every effort to get his caliphate recognized without a fight. He vowed to prosecute the murder of Usman. He sent a delegation for peaceful negotiations, and he himse, gave a personal letter to Muawiyah. But this gentle behavior of his was not able to put dust in the eyes of the sharp mind Muabiya. Muabiya knew that Ali was a liar, a deceiver. During Jamal's war against Ayesha in Basra, Ali first wanted to win over Hazrat Talha and Hazrat Zobair by praising them. He said - 'Talha, you are a faithful companion of the Messenger (PBUH) and a brave soldier of Islam. You and I fought many battles by the side of the Prophet. If not for you, it would have been difficult to protect the Prophet from the hands of Companion Hazrat Khalid bin Ali (RA) in the Battle of Uhud’. It is noted that Mahabir Khalid bin Alid struck the head of Muhammad (pbuh) with his sword in the battle of Uhud in such a way that two of his teeth were broken due to a severe blow to the head that penetrated the helmet of the Prophet.

At one stage when Ali said, "You have accepted my caliphate voluntarily, then why are you opposing me today"? Hazrat Talha and Hazrat Jobayer shouted in one sentence - 'By Allah, Ali took the confession by placing a sword on our heads.' The people of Basra sent a group of people to Medina to verify the truth of the matter. On investigation, it was found that Hazrat Ali forced not only Talha and Zobair, but other leading people who could be potential rivals to the caliphate, to accept his caliphate by force. Muabiya also knew that it was Hazrat Ali who praised Talha and Zobair so much that he killed them and clothed Aisha's two sisters together as widows. Muabiya said to himself, ‘Ali, you have seen Aisha's Basra, you have not seen Muabiya’s Syria’. In response to Ali, Muawiya said - 'Not a single soldier will be removed from the battlefield until the killers of Usman are handed over to me.'

Muabiya knew that it was not possible for Ali to punish the murderers of Usman. Ali also knew that most of his army men were involved in killing Usman. Malik Al Ashtar and Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr, the generals of Ali, are among them. Handing over the killers of Uthman to Muabiya and accepting Muabiya as caliph was equivalent.

Deployment of troops, exchange of dialogues, small skirmishes were spent. In the month of May, the vast plains of Siffin trembled under the foot of the largest army in the history of Islam. The clanging of spears and swords, the roar of warriors, the birds and animals of the world were stunned. Hazrat Muabiya divided his 120 thousand soldiers into 8 groups with 8 commanders. Ali, on the other hand, did the same. Seeing this unprecedented scene of war, that huge event, both sides were terrified, that meanst that Islam and the Muslim nation disappeared from the map of the world! No one wanted to start a full-scale war. The sector wise war went on for a whole month in isolation. The holy month of Muharram came in June, 37 Hijri. Both sides called for a ceasefire. Hazrat Ali wanted to resolve the issue through dialogue again. The shrewd Muabiya used the break to spread propaganda. Ali was able to convince those in his army who wanted justice for the murder of Usman, that Ali would not actually prosecute the murder of Usman, because the murderers were relatives of Ali, whom Ali pretended not to know. Far from arresting the killers of Caliph Usman, he rewarded many by enrolling them in the army. Some of Ali's people began to have doubts. The dialogue between the two sides continued. At one point, the Syrian dialogue delegation asked Ali - 'Ali, in your eyes, was killing Caliph Usman justified'? Ali replied - 'I will not say anything about this now.'

Muabiya's propaganda, began to bear fruit. All of Ali's efforts failed. He saw that Muabiya had closed all the ways of escape from here without a fight. During the month of Arab Safar, a fierce battle began. Hundreds of lives were lost on both sides every day. Ali's commander Hazrat Malik Ashtar (RA) alone was able to cut off the heads of 400 enemies one by one by uttering Allahu Akbar every time. A soldier of Muabiya came chasing after Ali. Ali struck such a hard blow along his stomach with the sword, that in the blink of an eye the man's lower body was placed on the horse's back and the upper part fell to the ground. From sunrise to sunset, from dusk to dawn, the war continued. The death toll continued to increase day by day. However, the number of casualties was relatively higher on the Muabiya side. Ali's commander Hazrat Malik Ashtar (RA) indicated that victory was near. Muabiya was thinking of leaving the battlefield and fleeing, just then Muawiya's commander Sahabi Amr Ibn Aas (RA) asked for permission to use their best weapon of deception. With the permission of Muabiya, Hazrat Amr Ibn As (RA) ordered his army to fly 500 copies of the Qur'an on the spearheads. Ali's army stopped, what is the matter? Amr Ibn Aas said - 'No more bloodshed, many Muslims on both sides have been killed. We do not want weapons, we want judgment through the Qur'an. Hazrat Ali forbade his soldiers and said - "Be careful, don't listen to Muawbya's deception, this is nothing but a mere deception". Several soldiers disobeyed Ali and stopped the battle. Ali's commander, Hazrat Malik Ashtar, came running and said - 'By God, continue fighting patiently for a little while longer, victory is inevitable for us.'

A group of Ali's soldiers, who were tired after fighting for a month, gave up their weapons and said - "We consider judgment through the Qur'an better than weapons". When Ali ordered the war to resume, some of his party accused Ali of deliberately engaging the Muslim nation in this war for the sake of power and that he did not want justice for the murder of Usman. Ali was forced to stop fighting. Bani-Kinda chief Hazrat Al-Asha'at asked Muabiya: 'What is the meaning of binding 500 Khani Qur'an on the head of a spear? Muabiya said - 'On the will of Allah, we should find the solution of the problem written in His Qur'an.' Despite hating the Qur'an with all his heart, Muabiya gave the Qur'anic solution himself. He said - 'Both parties should form a mediation committee headed by one person from their respective parties. Both parties must accept the decision of the two chief mediators.' Ali's people said in unison: 'We accept, we accept.' Before the meeting, Hazrat Muabiya completed two important tasks in great secrecy. He said to Hazrat Amr, the governor of Egypt at the time of Hazrat Usman, "Whatever the decision of the meeting, you will not leave Egypt." Hazrat Amr said, "If Egypt goes into the possession of Ali"? "Egypt will be attacked first, be ready" Muabiya assured Hazrat Amr. Muabiya also created the party leaders who mediated on Ali's behalf. Ali proposed the name of the veteran leader Abdullah Ibn Abbas (RA) as the leader of the party. Ali's men protested. They proposed the name of Hazrat Abu-Musa (RA), the supporter of Muabiya. Ali said - 'Damn you, Abu Musa is a treasonous traitor. I sent him as the temporary governor of Kufa. I deposed him on this day because he denied my caliphate. The people of Kufa who once blindly supported Hazrat Ali (RA) also became vocal against Ali today. They said - 'Ali because of you thousands of women of Kufa are crying as widows in Jamal war against Ayesha, their tears have not dried even today.'

The historic 'Ali-Muabiya' peace treaty was concluded in February 658 AD. The vast green field of Siffin was slippery on that day with the blood of seventy thousand people. 25,000 of Hazrat Ali and 45,000 of Hazrat Muawiya's side were left with their throats slit in the desert of Siffin.

Hazrat Muabiya mysteriously, requested Hazrat Ali to undertake the responsibility of writing the 'Treaty'.

Let them continue to make the treaty, meanwhile let's see who, where, what they said on the battlefield and in the immediate vicinity of the battle. Hazrat Ammar (R.A.) was giving a speech to encourage a group of soldiers under Ali to fight -

"Friends, have you not heard, the Prophet said many times during his lifetime, whoever hurts my Ali, think that he has hurt me, and whoever opposes my Ali, think that he has opposed me. Don't you know that Muabiyah is a heretic, an enemy of Islam, he did not accept Islam out of love for Allah and Allah's Messenger? His courtship of non-Muslim women, his association with heathens. We are waging jihad against the enemies of the Prophet, to save Islam from the heathen rulers.'

The words of Hazrat Ammar (RA) were completely true. Muabiya and his father Abu Sufyan did not accept Islam voluntarily. The incident was like this: Soon after the conquest of Makkah, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) summoned Abu Sufyan, the Quraysh leader, to one of his private rooms. Intelligent Abu Sufyan entered the house and guessed what he was called for. Two people were standing on the right and left of Muhammad (PBUH). Hazrat Ibn Abbas (RA) was one of them. Ibn Abbas hiding the sword under his cloak. The Quraysh leader did not know what question Muhammad (pbuh) would ask him. Will you give your head, or accept Muhammad's subordination? Abu Sufyan accepted the submission. He went home and advised his son Muabiya to accept Islam. Muabiya said – ‘What are you saying? On this day in the battle of Badr, Muhammad killed my two brothers in front of your eyes. You buried your sons with your own hands. My mother, due to losing her sons is rolling in the ground as mad in the alleys of Makkah. I will not accept Islam, I will take revenge.' Abu Sufyan said - 'If you cannot defeat the enemy by force, it is wise to join his side, the time to take revenge may come one day'.

Hazrat Obaidullah Ibn Omar (RA) was a sector commander of Muabiya's army. Obaidullah, the terrorist son of the Second Caliph, Hazrat Omar (RA), who, during the reign of Uthman, was accused of murdering three innocent people, was sentenced to death by Hazrat Ali in a public court, and was acquitted by Usman. Today in the Maidan of Siffin, Obaidullah son of Companion Hazrat Omar (RA) and Muhammad son of Companion Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) stood face to face with arms to kill each other. Hazrat Obaidullah Ibn Omar said to his soldiers - 'Amirul Momineen Hazrat Muabiya's supporters, I can clearly see the murderer of Hazrat Usman (referring to Muhammad Ibn Abu Bakr) before my eyes. All those murderers who could not be tried by Ali, today we will kill them in this field, we will avenge the killing of Caliph Usman, we will establish justice’.

Obaidullah's wish was not fulfilled. After a while Ali's soldier's arrow struck him all over. Ubaidullah's body was left behind as others were searching for an escape route.

Hazrat Hashim Ibn Utba (R.A.) said to a warrior of Muabiya during the cessation of hostilities in the month of Muharram:

‘What happened to you? Why do you not understand, why we killed Usman? Usman wrote the Qur'an with his chosen people. He insulted the Prophet's family and the Quran, burning the Quran with fire. Those who want to establish the law of the Prophet by killing the tyrant Caliph Usman, are the faithful people of the Prophet. Will you take up arms against the Prophet's family?’

Hazrat Ali named several Companions one by one and mentioned their chracters. Among them Muabiya, Hazrat Amr Ibn Aas, Hazrat Abi Muyat, Hazrat Obaidullah Ibn Omar, Hazrat Abdullah Bin Sa'd Ibn-Abi Sarah, and Hazrat Habib Maslamah awere among them. Ali said - 'Muabiya is a heretic, Obaidullah is a universally condemned terrorist-murderer, Amr Ibn As is a bandit and dictator, Ibn Abi Sarah wrote the Qur'an himself and still does not believe that the Qur'an is the word of God, Abi Muyat and Habib Maslamah are traitors, liars, traitors. Even if you all don't know them, I know them since childhood. You believe, this jihad is the jihad of truth against falsehood, this jihad is the jihad of justice against injustice’.

The war finally stopped after 70 thousand people lost their lives. Now the contract will be written. Senior leaders of Mecca, Medina, Kufa, Syria were present. The author wrote - 'In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, in this sense Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali (RA) Ibn Abi Talib and Hazrat Muabiya Ibn Abu Sufyan...' Stop! Amr bin As said, stopped the writer with a thunderous voice. what's the matter The author asked. Amr bin As said - 'Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali (RA) should cut the line. Ali can be your Amirul Momineen, not ours’. Immediately, Hazrat Ali's chest swelled up! It was as if a poisoned arrow pierced his chest and exited through the surface. Ali realized that Muabiyah was repeating an old incident exactly. On that day, the same thing happened during the historic "Treaty of Hudaybiyah" between Muhammad (PBUH) and the Quraysh. That day the pen was in Ali's hand. Ali was writing, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, in this sense, the Messenger of Allah Muhammad Ibn Abdullah and ...' Stop! Quraysh representative Suhail Ibn Am Reprimanded and said, "Let Muhammad Ibn Abdullah be left out of the word Messenger of God, Muhammad can be your Messenger, not ours." Hazrat Al Ahnaf (RA) said, "For your sake, do not remove the title 'Ameerul Momineen' from the name of Hazrat Ali, this is a heinous conspiracy to erase the Prophet's family from the world forever." Ali's tears broke down as he remembered Prophet’s words. A couple of tears rolled down his cheeks and wet his beard. Prophet loved two people the most in his life, one was Ali, and the other was Hazrat Fatima (RA). After restraining himself with great difficulty, just as the Prophet said during the 'Hudaibiya-Sandhi', 'Let Muhammad Ibn Abdullah be written except the word Messenger of Allah', Ali said - 'Alright, cut the word 'Amirul Momineen' and write 'Ali Ibn Abu Talib'. Be it.'

The heads of delegations on both sides suggested that the people of Ali would accept Ali and the people of Muabiya as their caliph until the committee declared their decision. No one can attack anyone. The committee took at least six months to publish its decision. Now it's time to take your own body. The ground is slippery with people's blood, many people stumbled repeatedly while walking. Seventy thousand people from both sides never returned home. Screams of husbandless widows, cries of fatherless children were heard in Arab countries for a long time.
