Companion Differences to join JAMAL
Battle between Ali and Aisha

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 7100:

Narrated Abu Maryam Abdullah bin Ziyad Al-Aasadi:

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 (s) in this world and in the Hereafter. But Allah has put you to test whether you obey Him (Allah) or her ('Aisha)."

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 7101:

Narrated Abu Wail:

'Ammar stood on the pulpit at Kufa and mentioned 'Aisha and her coming (to Basra) and said, "She is the wife of your Prophet (s) in this world and in the Hereafter, but you people are being put to test in this issue."

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 7102-7104:

Narrated Abu Wail:

Abu Musa and Abu Mas'ud went to 'Ammar when 'Ali had sent him to Kufa to exhort them to fight (on 'Ali's side). They said to him, "Since you have become a Muslim, we have never seen you doing a deed worthy of more criticisms to us than your haste in this matter." 'Ammar said, "Since you (both) became Muslims, I have never seen you doing a deed worthy of more criticisms to me than your keeping away from this matter." Then Abu Mas'ud provided 'Ammar and Abu Musa with two-piece outfits to wear, and one of them went to the mosque (of Kufa).

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 7105 to 7107:

Narrated Shaqiq bin Salama:

I was sitting with Abu Mas'ud and Abu Musa and 'Ammar. Abu Mas'ud said (to 'Ammar), "There is none of your companions but, if I wish, I could find fault with him except with you. Since you joined the company of the Prophet (s) I have never seen anything done by you worthy of more criticisms by me than your haste in this issue." 'Ammar said, O Abu Mas’ud! I have never seen anything done by you or by this companion of yours (i.e., Abu Musa) more criticizable by me than your keeping away from this issue since the time you both joined the company of the Prophet (s)."

Then Abu Mas'ud who was a rich man, said (to his servant), "O boy! Bring two suits." Then he gave one to Abu Musa and the other to 'Ammar and said (to them), "Put on these suits before going for the Friday prayer."

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 7083:

Narrated Al-Hasan:

(Al-Ahnaf said) I went out carrying my arms during the nights of the affliction (i.e. the war between 'Ali and 'Aisha) and Abu Bakra met me and asked, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I intend to help the cousin of Allah's Apostle (i.e. Ali)." Abu Bakra said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'If two Muslims take out their swords to fight each other, then both of them will be from amongst the people of the Hell-Fire.' It was said to the Prophet, 'It is alright for the killer but what about the killed one?' He replied, 'The killed one had the intention to kill his opponent.'" (See Hadith No. 31, Volume 1)

Bukhari Volume 5, Book 62, Number 3772:

Narrated Abu Wail:

When 'Ali sent 'Ammar and Al-Hasan to (the people of) Kufa to urge them to fight, 'Ammar addressed them saying, "I know that she (i.e. 'Aisha) is the wife of the Prophet (s) in this world and in the Hereafter (world to come), but Allah has put you to test, whether you will follow Him (i.e. Allah) or her."

Translator’s Note; Allah's Order is to obey the Imam (i.e. 'Ali and for the ladies to stay at home. [See the Qur'an (V. 33:33)].

Bukhari Volume 5, Book 64, Number 4425:

Narrated Abu Bakra:

During the days (of the battle) of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a word I had heard from Allah's Apostle after I had been about to join the Companions of Al-Jamal (i.e. the camel) and fight along with them. When Allah's Apostle (s) was informed that the Persians had crowned the daughter of Khosrau as their ruler, he said, "Such people as ruled by a lady will never be successful."

Translator’s Note: Abu Bakra did not fight on that side because the army was led by a woman i.e. 'Aishah
