Abu Musa al-Ash'ari: Difference between revisions

'''ʿAbd Allāh b. Qays''' (Arabic:{{iarabic|عبدالله بن قيس}}) (d. [[52]]/672) known as '''Abū Musā al-Ashʿarī''' ({{iarabic|أبوموسی الأشعري}}) was a [[Sahaba|companion]] of [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]. He is famous in historical sources primarily because of the role he played in [[the Arbitration]], which took place after the [[Battle of Siffin]]. He was chosen as the arbitrator of Imam Ali's side. Imam (a) was not pleased with selecting Abu Musa as the arbitrator, but he had to accept it as his soldiers forced him. Consequently, Abu Musa was tricked and deceived by [['Amr b. al-'As]] who was the arbitrator of [[Mu'awiya]].
