Telha began as a powerful Arabian chief who escaped from Medina to Mecca and then to Bassora, where he erected the standard of revolt against Ali alongside Zobeir. His rebellion ended when he was slain in the first battle, his death marking the failure of this particular challenge to established authority.
Description
