Is the report narrated by Al-Baladhuri regarding Ali striking the palanquin on the Day of the Camel and his saying: "Indeed, this Huma'ira of Iram intended to kill me just as she killed Uthman ibn Affan," authentic?
The narration mentioned regarding Aisha and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) is denounced and unsound, both in its chain of transmission (sanad) and its text (matn). Its chain is broken and weak due to the differing death dates of the narrators, and its text is false because it accuses Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) of desiring to kill Ali and Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them both). She is innocent of such an accusation. Rather, she departed on the Day of the Camel to reconcile between Muslims, and her stance on Uthman's murder was one of rejection and denunciation. Furthermore, she used to praise Ali's knowledge (may Allah be pleased with him).
