went to Syria only to inflame the feelings of Muslims over there. Under such conditions Mu’awiya (Rad. A.) had no alternative but to insist upon his demar-’ for punishment of the assassins before pledging loyalty to Hazrat Ali (Rad. A.). Hazrat Aisha’s Demand for Chastisement of Assassins
While Hazrat Ali (Rad. A.) was preparing for war against Amir Mu’awiya another difficulty arose. After the assassination of Hazrat Usman (Rad. A.) some members of his family went to Hazrat Aisha (Rad. A.) who was in Makkah to perform the Hajj. They and a number of Medinites informed her about the tragedy while she was on her way from Makkah to Medina after the Hajj. Hearing the news of assassination of Hazrat Usman (Rad.A) she returned to Makkah and appealed to the people over there to avenge the death of Hazrat Usman (Rad. A.). Hundreds of people including the governor of Makkah came out at Aisha’s ca!l. The governor of Yaman, Yal’a bin Munabbah also joined her in Makkah. Among Banu Ummayyads who joined Hazrat Aisha in Makkah were Said bin A’s, Walid bin Upbah and Marwan bin Hakam.
In the meantime Hazrat Talha and Zubair (Rad. A.) demanded Hazrat Ali to punish the assassins. He told them, ”Please wait. I will do my duty as soon as conditions allow me.” Hazrat Talha and Zubair were not satisfied with Hazrat Ali’s reply and left Medina for Makkah to join Hazrat Aisha (Rad. A.). They had not correctly assessed the delicate situation in Medina. The city was not free from the grip of Sabaites and there was a general feeling against Umayyads in the public. Hazrat Ali (Rad. A.) was anxious to restore peace first so that the assassins could be punished.4
In Makkah, Hazrat Aisha (Rad. A.) started to march to Medina at the head of about two thousand men with the object of dealing with the assassins. Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair was also there. They also asked him to join but he declined to do so and remained neutral. When Hazrat Aisha was about to march to Medina, proposals came to vijit Basrah first to collect more supporters. She decided to go to Basrah.
