And he made me sleep on his bed such that my body becomes his, and his pleasant smell got me.” His Acceptance of Islam When the Messenger of Allah (PBUHH) ascended to the rank of prophethood on the Mount of Hira and returned home, Khadijah, Ali and Zayd son of Haritha were staying in his house. He told these three people about his situation and mission before he told others, and all three of them accepted him without any hesitation.

It is believed that Ali (PBUH) was the first man to accept Islam. His Martyrdom According to the reports by both the Shias and Sunnis historians, it is documented that Imam Ali (PBUH) was martyred by the conspiracy of the Kharijites. After the end of the battle of Nahrwan, a group of Kharijites gathered and wept over their dead members, who were described with worship and piety.

At that point, they said that these seditions [in the Muslim nation] arose from three people: Ali, Amr son of ‘As and Mu’awiya. They believed that the affairs of Muslims will not be right as long as these three people were alive. And three of them took it upon themselves to kill these three persons. Abd al-Rahman son of Muljam from Bani Murad took it upon himself to kill Ali. There is no doubt that Ali (PBUH) was hit by Ibn Muljam on the 19th eve of the month of Ramadan.

However, was his killer only the Kharijite? It is doubtful. What seems more correct to us is that the root of this conspiracy should be sought first in Kufa, then in Damascus. As it was documented, Mu’awiya knew that he couldn’t attain the caliphate as long as Ali was alive. Ash’ath, son of Qays, as it was mentioned that he did not agree with Ali. We wrote earlier that Ash’ath was also not satisfied with Ali.

Because Ali (PBUH) had stopped him from ruling over the people of Kinda, and he also called him a hypocrite son of an infidel in the pulpit. On the morning of Ramadan 19 (40/January 26, 661), Ibn Muljam took his sword and came to the mosque and lay down among the sleeping people. Ali (PBUH) made the call to prayer, entered the mosque and woke up the sleeping ones, then he went to the altar and started the prayer, bowing and then prostrating.

When he raised his head from the first prostration, Ibn Muljam hit him with a poisoned sword in the same spot he was hit by Amr son of AbdulWadd in the battle of the Trench [Khandaq]. Ibn Muljam fled and Ali fell on the altar. The people shouted that the Commander of the Faithful had been assassinated.
