While Ibn Abbas was setting out for Mecca, he found Aisha in al-Sulsul (seven miles south of Medina). Aisha said: “O Ibn Abbas, I appeal to you by God, to abandon this man (Uthman) and sow doubt about him among the people, for you have been given a sharp tongue. (By the current siege over Uthman) people have shown their understanding, and light is raised to guide them. I have seen Talha has taken the possession of the keys to the public treasuries and storehouses. If he becomes Caliph (after Uthman), he will follow the path of his parental cousin Abu-Bakr.” Ibn Abbas said: “O Mother (of believers), if something happens to that man (i.e., Uthman), people would seek asylum only with our companion (namely, Ali).” Aisha replied: “Be quiet! I have no desire to defy or quarrel with you.”<ref>{{Tabari|15|pp. 238-239}}.</ref>


[''Before the start of battle of Camel.''] Ali said: “Zubair, do you fight me for the blood of Uthman after you killed him? May God give the most hostile to Uthman among us the consequence which that very person dislikes.” He said to Talha: “Talha, you have brought the wife of the Messenger of God (Aisha) to use her for war and hidden your wife at your house (in Medina)! Did you not give me your allegiance?” Talha said: “I gave you the allegiance while the sword was on my neck.” ... Ali addressed his own army saying: “Who among you will display this Quran and what is in it to the opposing army with the understanding that if he loses one of his hand he will hold the Quran with his other hand...?” A youth from Kufa said: “I will take the mission.” Ali went through his army offering them the mission. Only that youth accepted it. Then Ali said to him: “Exhibit this Quran and say to them: It is between you and us from its beginning to its end. Remember God, and spare your blood and our blood.” As the youth called upon them to resort to the Quran and surrender to its judgment, the Basrites army attacked and killed him. At this time, Ali said to his army: “Now the fight has become legal.” The battle then started.<ref>Tabari, Arabic edition, vol. 4 p. 905, "Events of the Year 36 AH".</ref>
