1 Jan 657 Jahr - Arbitration proceedings at Daumaut ul Jandal

Beschreibung:

- Ali appointed Abu Musa Ashari and Muawiyyah appointed Amr bin Aas. They were to settle the dispute in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah and announce their decision by Ramadan. In the meantime, all hostilities were to cease.
- Arbitration took place at Dauma-tu-Jandal in Ramadhan.
- The question put to them was ‘’Are the two eligible for the post of Caliph?’’
- It was agreed in the arbitration by the two sides that both ‘Ali and Mu’awiya should be deposed.
- Abu Musa announced that both Ali and Muawiyyah would resign and the people should be given a right to choose any one of them as Caliph.
- However, at the time of the announcement of the verdict, Amr bin Aas announced that he agreed with Abu Musa to depose Ali but he himself had decided to retain Muawiyyah on his post.
- Because Muawiyyah is a successful governor and his people have no complaints against him, so the election for the Caliph should take place while Muawiyyah retained his seat.
- The decision was one sided so Hazrat Ali, on principle did not accept it. Now the only way for him was to fight against Muawiyyah once again.
- Ali left the battlefield of Siffin for Kufa.
- Thus, the arbitration failed. The failure of the arbitration deeply upset the Kharijites who had made their peace with ‘Ali. They now broke away and set up their own community in Nahrawan.
