Aishas error was to go out in public and make a scene. Both sects agree to this. shias go a step furthwer and say she was the one who ordered the army to attack his troops, while the truth may be that the army went out without her signal, as there was already tensions and insults being thrown at each side, thus the battle begun. And it makes more sense, since Ali didn't kill her nor disrespected her after the battle.
[*]As Usmans' house was seiged in Madina and he was inside helpless along with a few of his friends and supporters, Ayesha decided to leave Madina to Mecca citing Hajj Pilgrimage as an exuse. At this critical state she chose not to arbitrate and help caliph Usman.
The Prophet (pbuh) said to his wives: "I wonder which one of you will be the instigator of the Camel Affair, at whom the dogs of Haw'ab will bark, and she will be the one who has deviated from the straight path. As to you Humayra (i.e., Aisha), I have warned you in that regard."
And the Prophet (pbuh) Said regarding Ali "Ali is with the Truth and Truth is with Ali" Plus the Ahlulsunnah Regard him as "Rightly guided" and no doubt Imam Ali (as) would never cause any battle or Harm anyone, but rather the people "sahaba" were hurting him
She was among those who were intrigued of the death of uthman, and knowing that she was the wife of the prophet, she politically did have some power and thus she became the representative of this group.
Remember she's a woman, I don't think that he could physically call people to an uprising. There was already an uprising, she being among this and being the wife of the prophet, she was put at the head of it. Ali was of his family, so aisha, being of his family too, served a political purpose.
She was wrong in the act of making a scene and actually be in front of this uprising, but you cannot blame her for the deaths if Ali himself did not punish her. Did he punish her? I would like to know.
Read what I said again. I said FULLY responsible, not SOLELY responsible. There's a huge difference. She sowed the seeds to the war, and eventually sparked it after giving Usman's opposition an outlet and forefront (i.e. Aisha herself) for their revolt, subsequently changing her stance when she sees her most hated enemy Ali (as) gaining power. Those that followed suite are equally responsible. Aisha had a chance to stop this war, she gave it up, just as a brother mentions, using the pretext of going for pilgrimage to Makkah, while Usman was besieged.
If we were to put aside the commander of the faithful Ali (a.s) for a sec, a great companion called Ammar ibn Yasir (r.a) was participating with Imam Ali (a.s), and the Prophet (s) told him: "Ammar be cheerful, the aggressor party shall kill you."
Also the quran makes it clear that.....If a man kills a Believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (for ever): and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him. (4:93). So you can imagine if any of those beleivers who were standing alongside Imam Ali (a.s) were killed intentionally.
However there can never be both right, if we are accepting that these people both follow the same ideology, which in this case, we do. This is a standard logical explanation, that can even be formulised to show its truth.
Usually, neither party accepts the first answer. Now we think to ourselves, based on their characters, eloquence and piety, which is the more likely to be wrong and which is the more likely to be right? Concern yourself solely on this matter.
Imam Ali(as) had every right to protect the Ummah from corruption. Party of Jamal was the party of fitna and corruption. You really need to ready history to find out what the party of Jamal did before Imam Ali(as) mobilized the army to go and fight them.
I suggest that any Sunni look into what Hafiz al-Tabari has to say regarding the position of Ahl us-Sunnah on those who rebelled against Amir ul-Mumineen (as). He clearly states that they had transgressed, and the repentance of the transgressor is between them and Allah `azza wa jal. Is this not what we Shi`a say?
Throwing reductio ad absurdum again. This would not happen under the leadership of the Prophet (pbuh), otherwise he (pbuh) would not be a messenger. Messengers, prophets and imams are protected, and they would not introduce their nations to circumstances that could cause chaos within.
When Talha, AzZubair and 'Aisha moved to Basra, 'Ali sent 'Ammar bin Yasir and Hasan bin 'Ali who came to us at Kufa and ascended the pulpit. Al-Hasan bin 'Ali was at the top of the pulpit and 'Ammar was below Al-Hasan. We all gathered before him. I heard 'Ammar saying, "'Aisha has moved to Al-Busra. By Allah! She is the wife of your Prophet in this world and in the Hereafter. But Allah has put you to test whether you obey Him (Allah) or her ('Aisha)."
so the third force (the real murderer of hazrat usman,the kharijeties , the hypocrites) attack the camp of hazrat ayesha during night so the army of hazrat ayesha thought that hazrat ali had attacked them that is how the war started .
in this battle both of them hazrat ayesha and hazrat ali was on the right path that both were correct on their behalf. this battle was not the war between falsehood and truth but the war due to misunderstanding .
Sorry brother if you read quran the wives of the prophet have been ordered to stay inside their homes (33:33). BB Aisha lead a war against Imam Ali in the battlfiled of jamal did she follow the order of quran? Be courageous to say the truth.
