1. Altikulaç, Tayyar, ed. Al-Muṣhaf Asy-Syarīf Al-Mansūb Ilā ‘Alī Ibn Abī Ṭālib Karrama Allāhu Wajhahu (Nuskhat Ṣanʻā’).Istanbul: Markaz Al-Abḥāṡ littārīkh wa al-Funūn wa aṡ-Ṡaqāfah al-Islāmiyyah (IRCICA), 2011. In 624 CE, Ali ibn Abi Talib (l. 601-661 CE), a cousin of the Prophet, who had also distinguished himself as a heroic and loyal supporter of Islam, approached Muhammad to request his permission to marry Fatimah, which the latter granted. After the wedding, the couple moved to a house close to that of the Prophet. He said: “It is made of the leaves of Paradise. The Prophet (S) spread it on the day of Badr and then folded it and given it to Ali Ibn Abi Talib (‘a). It was with Imam Ali (‘a) until he spread it out on the day of the battle of Jamal against the people of Basra and gained victory. Then he folded and kept it safe. This committee comprised `Ali ibn Abi Talib, `Uthman ibn `Affan, `Abdur-Rahman ibn `Awf, Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas, Az-Zubayr ibn Al-`Awam, and Talhah ibn `Ubayd Allah, who were among the most eminent Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and who had received in their lifetime the tidings of Paradise. Abbas ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib was born on Shaban 4, 26 after Hijra (AH). He was the son of Ali ibn Abu Talib, and Fatimah bint Hizam. Abbas had three brothers, Abdullah ibn Ali, Jafar ibn Ali, and Usman ibn Ali. Abbas lived 34 years. It is said that he did not open his eyes after he was born until his half-brother Husayn ibn Ali took him in his arms. Here are the 13 facts about him that sums up his life. 1. He was born on 4th of Shaban 26 AH. 2. He was the Son of Ali Ibn Abi Talib (RA) and Fatima bint Hizam (RA), who was also known as the Umm ul – Banin – “Mother of the Sons”. 3. He was the Step-Brother of Hassan (RA) and Hussain (RA). 4. In contrast, Shia Islam maintains that Ali ibn Abi Talib was Muhammad's designated successor. These differing viewpoints on succession stem from varying interpretations of early Islamic history and the hadiths, which are the recorded sayings of Muhammad. Sunni Muslims contend that Muhammad did not explicitly appoint a successor, leaving the sVkN.
