Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
Could you please give in written a detailed story of what happened after the Caliphate of Hazrat Ali (RA) and onwards. What wars did they fight? Why did they fight? Who did they fight? And how Shiaism was formed from there. Why Hazrat Ali (ra) and Muawiyyah (ra) have conflicts and did they get resolved and how did all these fights stop.
In the organizational affairs, sometimes there arises differences in views, and this happens commonly. This even happened during the time of the companions. The prophet peace be upon him had foretold and he gave advice for those people who were to come after him. One of the things he said was, you should stay away from discussing the differences among my companions as to why and how they happened and what were the results. We do not know these things; whatever happened has happened a long time ago, and no need to discuss it or to have a view of it from the law point of view. However, it is necessary that we believe that there were all just, there were like the guiding stars and their position is very high. Even the most pious person after them cannot reach their level. Because of this we should not speak against them and we have no right to.
