This civil war in 656 CE was entitled the Battle of the Camel because Aisha made her entry mounted on a camel (C. Hartney, J. Nobel, 2008, p306). Although losing the battle Aishas life was spared out of respect for her being the wife of the prophet and the daughter of the first rightly guided caliph Abu Bakr. At the conclusion of the battle the minority group Shi’a applied to those who supported Ali in the battle, because Shi’a sided with Ali they reject the idea that Aisha is the favorite wife of Muhammad and have belief that she did not conduct herself in the right manner as Muhammads’ wife (B.

This caused great controversy and Muhammad ceased receiving revelations due to his wife’s feudality (C. Hartney, J. Noble, 2008, p305). After questioning Aisha, Muhammad received a revelation found in the Qur’an, “And those who cast it up on women in wedlock, and then bring not four witnesses, scourge them with eighty stripes do not accept any testimony of theirs ever: those – they are ungodly.” (Sura 24:11-13).
