The Snapback Mechanism: The Outcome of the Battle of Siffin
The Battle of Siffin, which took place in the year 37 AH between the forces of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan, after several months of heavy fighting, was on the verge of Muawiya’s complete defeat. At this critical moment, the forces of Syria, through a cunning ruse (raising the Qur’an on spears), proposed arbitration to stop the war. Imam Ali (peace be upon him), with great reluctance but under intense pressure from his own troops, was forced to accept a ceasefire. This ceasefire turned into negotiations (arbitration) that had disastrous results for Imam Ali’s camp, leading to the emergence of a new faction known as the Kharijites and severely weakening Imam’s rule.
