It is narrated from Abu Wa'il that when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Kufa so that they could encourage the people to go out for battle, Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon and said: I know that Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) is the wife of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in this world and the Hereafter, but Allah Almighty has tested you at this moment as to whether you support Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).
