Alee ibn Abu Talib (ra) Session 206 The rebels attack the forces of Ayesha (ra) and the sahaba do not engage in battle. The next morning the rebels try to assassinate Ayesha (ra) but fail. The rebels and ring leaders are now exposed and come face to face with the Sahaba (ra). Ayesha (ra) sends Moawiah (ra) a letter stating the events as they occurred.
