I married my husband, Talha, six years ago.
Talha continued to fight as if nothing had happened.
variant traditions name Abdullah ibn Masood, Talha ibn Ubaydullah,
Talha was amongst the Asharah Mubasharah,
the ten people to whom Muhammad promised Paradise while they were still alive.
It is disputed who became Al-Zubayr's"brother" in Islam:
variant traditions name Abdullah ibn Masood, Talha ibn Ubaydullah,
Kaab ibn Malik and Salama ibn Salama.
Al-Zubayr had reason to hope that he would be elected as the next Caliph,
although he knew that his old ally Talha was also a strong contender.
Al-Zubayr, Talha and Aisha called for Uthman's death to be avenged, and while
Ali agreed, he said that he was not able to do this at the time.
