The '''Battle of Șiffīn''' (Arabic: معركة صفين) was a battle between [[Imam Ali (a)]] and [[Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan]] occurred in the [[Safar]] month of [[37]]/May 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 volumes of the [[Qur'an]] on their spears and discouraged some people in Imam Ali (a)'s army from the battle. Eventually, some arbiters were elected in order to judge between the two parties, and the battle ended with no result. | The '''Battle of Șiffīn''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|معركة صفين}}) was a battle between [[Imam Ali (a)]] and [[Mu'awiya b.
