The '''Battle of Șiffīn''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|معركة صفين}}) was a battle between [[Imam Ali (a)]] and [[Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan]] occurred in [[Safar]] of [[37]]/July 657 in an area called [[Siffin]]. Mu'awiya and his army later came to be called "[[Qasitun]]" (the cruel). When the army of Mu'awiya was about to be defeated they put up copies of [[Qur'an]] on their spearheads, as a sign of agreeing that Qur'an be the arbiter in settling their dispute), requiring troops to walk away from Imam Ali (a)'s army. Eventually, some arbiters were elected in order to judge between the two parties, and the battle ended with no result. [['Ammar]] and [[Khuzayma b. Thabit|Khuzayma]] martyred in this battle. | The '''Battle of Șiffīn''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|معركة صفين}}) was a battle between [[Imam Ali (a)]] and [[Mu'awiya b.
