Crux of the entire discussion
Every science and every book occupies an important position, but as long as the principles of that science are not understood, the usage of the books written in that science could easily prove detrimental.
Hiatory occupies a lofty position in the sciences of Islamic knowledge, due to immense benefits it provides. It too is however governed by principles. If these principles are not understood and adhered to, the science of history could easily lead one to straying far from the path of the truth, which evntually ends with one criticizing the Ambiya (alayhimussalaam) and the Sahaba (radhiyallahu anhum), who have already received their pass-certificates from the Knower of All-Secrets, Almight Allah Himself.
A book of history can never be regarded as a book of Ahadith, and its narrations can never be regarded immune from being fabricated or alteration, irrespective of who the author may be. No book of history has the right to be regarded as sahih (authentic)!
The narrations of history shall be governed by the principles of the Qur'aan and authentic Ahadith, sayings of the Sahaba (radhiyallahu anhum), statements of the Tabi'een, Tab-e-Tabi'een, and great scholara of Islam, and finally the common sense. If it is found contradicting any of the above, it shall be subjected to ta'weel (interpretation). If interpretation proves difficult, it shall be disregarded, since its chain of narrators offer no guarantee of the authenticity of the narration. The most that could be said is that it has a fifty percent of chance of being true, and a fidty percent chance of being fabricated. Due to the chance of being fabricated being so high, there is no reason to demand the narration being accepted, especially when it contradicts solid evidence, as is itself surrounded by so much of contradiction.
Keeping the above principles in mind, one shall find the objections levelled against the illustrious Sahaba (ridhwanallahu anhum), merely on the basis of historical narrations, having no authenticity whatsoever!
The demand however is that these principles not only be remembered when it comes to accusations levelled against the Sahaba (radhiyallahu anhum), but rather these principles are to be considered before lending credence to any accusations made, against any individual, irrespective of creed, colour and position.
Together with this, it is vital that one keeps in mind that the evil Persian/Jewish satanists who were operating in full-force during the era of Hadhrat Uthmaan and Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhuma), they were not going to suddenly disappear from the scene and stop their mischief. Rather, their evil will grow stronger with the passing of each day.
Creating fights among the Muslims was their ambition, and they were prepared to do anything to achieve that goal. When studying any incidents of conflicts among between Muslims, which occurred after the era of the Khulafa e Rashidin, it is imperative that one bears in mind this group of hypocrites, and first check if perhaps their filthy hand was not operating behind the scene.
The rise of the Khawarij
After the Tahkeem (arbitration) failed to reach a unanimous decision, Hadhrat Ali and Mu'awiyah (radhiyallahu anhuma), after a few more skirmishes, agreed to halt the in-fighting, and not to contest for land which was already under the opposing party's rule. The people of Iraq and other areas would still refer to Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) as "Amir-ul-Mu'mineen", whilst the people of Shaam would address Hadhrat Mu'awiyah with the title of 'Ameer'. The Ummah finally found some relief from theyears on internal conflict that had already claimed the lives of thousands. The only ones that were not happy were the hypocrite Persian/Jewish/Majus Satanists, who had made it their ambition to break the strength of the Ummah through internal conflict.
The only way now to re-initiate the internal conflict amongst the Muslims was to have all thpse personalities assassinated, who had taken the Ummah out of the vicious waves of turmoil. The three personalities who were viewed as the greatest threats to the plots of the Persian Satanists, and whose being assassinated was vital for their plans, were:
Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu)
Hadhrat Mu'awiyah (radhiyallahu anhu)
Hadhrat Amr ibn al-Aas (radhiyallahu anhu)
As long as portraying the love of Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) had helped the cause of the Persian Satanists, they were in the front line of those singing his praises, attributing to him divine qualities and levelling the worst sort of criticism against all who had prevented him taking his so-called 'destined' place as the true first Caliph in Islam. (Na'audhubillah). But as soon as they perceived Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) being a barrier to their filthy motives, they forgot all their claims of love and switched to the other extreme branding him and all his loyal followers as 'Kafir' (Na'audhubillah). In fact, some of these hypocrites went as far as slaying hadhrat Ali's (radhiyallahu anhu) close companions, just on account of their remaining loyal to his command.
