Re: Weak Traditions associated with Ali ibn Abitalib KaramAllahwajho
salam
I’m not sure if its all valuable yet, still waiting for the hadith experts to give their input here !
Its true that ALi and uthman were hated by certain sahaba because of tribal reasons or events that transpired later in the caliphate, I dont know of any who hated Ali because of his bravery.
No not at all, but the extent of it is debatable as pro-Shia sources will exaggerate the role of Ali and pro-uthmani sources will downplay the role of ALi in Ghazwas.Generally though seerah and maghazi sources are written by individuals who dont have such clear bias and they give a balanced role of ALi and other companions.Its clear though that Ali played a pivotal role in battles of Badr & Khandaq and also in the campaign in Yemen ( largely overlooked in popular memory).But a lot of other sahaba also valiantly fought in the Ghazwas, and the islamic conquest of arabia was in no way solely due to Ali.
