Pearl of Wisdom

narrating from his father, 'When the enemy was defeated in the Battle of the Camel, the Commander of the Faithful (AS) said that no one who has fled should be chased, and no one who has been wounded should be finished off, and he who closes the door of his house is safe. On the day of the Battle of iffln those who had fought or turned away were killed and the wounded were finished off. Aban Ibn Taghlib said to 'Abdullah Ibn Sharik, 'These two methods are different.' Ibn Sharik answered, 'Those who are from the Battle of the Camel killed Tal a and Zubayr, but in this battle Mu'awiya is still present and is himself leading 'lithem.'

Question : #866 Category: Shia Sunni Dialogue
Subject: Um Kalthoom
Question: Salamu Alaykum,

Sunni scholars attempt to downplay the Shia faith and their beliefs by insisting that Imam Ali (a.s) had married his daughter to Umar ibn al Khattab. They insist that this proves the piety and faithfulness of Umar since a man like Imam Ali (a.s) agreed to hand his daughter in marriage to him. Is this a true event or is it fabricated. I have read some literature suggesting that Umar was married to a different Um Kalthum. Can you please explain the matter from the Shia Faith under the guidance of the true scholars of Islam. If it is true, what would be the logical reasoning of Imam Ali (a.s) behind it?
