In spite of reports of monetary gifts extended to 'Aisha by [[Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan|Mu'awiya]] that exist in historic sources, 'Aisha became an opponent and critic of Mu'awiya during a part of his rule. She was particularly displeased with him when her brother [[Muhammad b. Abi Bakr]] was killed upon the command of Mu'awiya. She also criticized him on killing [[Hujr b. 'Adi]], a [[companion]] of the Prophet. It is narrated that upon hearing the news of the arrest of Hujr b. 'Adi, she sent someone to Mu'awiya to intercede for him, but this messenger reached [[Damascus]] when Hujr and his companions had already been martyred. | In spite of reports of monetary gifts extended to 'Aisha by [[Mu'awiya b.

Amongst the issues that sustained the Shi'a's criticism of 'A'isha was her not allowing the burial of [[Imam Hasan]]'s body next to the grave of the Prophet (s). The resting place of the Prophet was in 'A'isha's house and after that, had been the burial place of the first two caliphs too. With the martyrdom of Imam Hasan (a), his brother [[Imam Husayn (a)]] initially intended to bury him next to the grave of the Prophet (s) in accordance with his will; but 'A'isha, with the help of the governor of Medina, prevented its fulfillment. To avoid discord, Imam Husayn (a) resigned from it. | Amongst the issues that sustained the Shi'a's criticism of 'A'isha was her not allowing the burial of [[Imam al-Hasan]]'s body next to the grave of the Prophet (s).
