With all due respect to Lesley Hazleton, but you are totally wrong at 3:43 minutes. Aisha didn’t lead an army against Ali. There was a battle between her army and Ali’s army, but there is much more to the story than that. After Othman, the 3rd khalifa was killed, it was expected to find his killers so that justice can be done. But Ali, the successor to Othman couldn’t do that because he didn’t know everyone who was involved in the killing. A few months went by and some people, led by Talha and Zoubayr, met with Aisha and convinced her to gather an army to be prepared to find the killers and send them to justice. Ali didn’t like that and feared that this would cause destabilizing the state. So he went with an army to AlBasra, where Aisha was. Then he sent messengers to Aisha who came back with good news saying that her intentions were to fix the problem and not create problems. So he told his army that there is no need to stay and asked them to go back with him. But a few hypocrites, led by Abdullah ibn Saba’e, known also as son of the black woman, who were probably involved in the killing of Othman, spread rumors that Ali “made peace with Aisha” in order to kill men of his own army. So they gathered an army of more than 2000 people and started a battle. So the rest of Ali’s army followed them and there was then the battle between Ali’s army and Aisha’s army. When Aisha heard of that, she went on her camel(therefore “the battle of the camel”) to calm them and stop the battle. That’s when they wanted to kill her but could only kill her camel.
Talha and Zoubayr died during that battle.
And Aisha never started a war and never even participated in it.
After that, Ali and Aisha were devastated by what happened. They remained of course in very good terms, and Ali continued to call her Mother.
The story is longer, but I tried to make it as short as possible.
