Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Sulh al-Hasan Conclusion A noticeable space has remained among these gaps in history. The references we have are not able to fill this space with studies that suite those events. Up to this topic, we have understood that Mu'awiya violated all the conditions with which he bound himself. We have known, up to here that Mu'awiya did not take care of the Peace Treaty with five items.

In other words his care did not suite those covenants, agreements, and the oath with which he bound himself.

When Mu'awiya took the reins of government, he did not act according to the Book of Allah, the Sunna (i.e., practices) of His Apostle, and the practices (Sira) of the Orthodox Caliphs, nor did he leave the authority after him to the Consultative Committee or to the Owner of the right (i.e., al-Hasan), nor did he refrain from cursing 'Ali, nor did he give (al-Hasan) the land taxes, nor did he give security to 'Ali's Shi'ites and companions.

In spite of these stipulations and pledges, he increased cursing 'Ali to the extent that he ordered his orators to curse him everywhere. Moreover, he committed horrible crimes against the Shi'ites of 'Ali: Thus the first head to be roamed in Islam was from them. He (i.e., Mu'awiya) ordered it to be roamed. The first man to be buried alive in Islam was from them. He ordered him to be buried alive. The first woman to be imprisoned in Islam was from them. He ordered her to be imprisoned.

The first patient martyrs were from them. It was he who killed them. Mu'awiya violated all the items of the Peace Treaty, broke his strong oath, and opposed his certain pledges which he made before Allah, the Most High. Therefore I (i.e., the author) wonder: Is this the religious succession? Mu'awiya protected himself from the last stipulation in the Peace Treaty, for it was the most sensitive of all the stipulations and the strongest of them all.

If he had broken this condition, then he would have challenged the Qur'an openly, and the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family, directly. Thus Mu'awiya was patient towards this condition for eight years. Then he was unable to bear it. For his Umayyad lineage moved him to make his children inherit the authority. In this way he underlined that he was b. (the son of) Hind and Abu Sufyan. Wasn't there a great difference between b. Abu Sufyan (i.e., Mu'awiya) and the Apostle of Allah?

Wasn't there a great difference between b.
