The most of the Iraqisfavored settlement for different persons, for example-A'shath, the most power full of the clan leaders of Rabia, his interest by insuring that neither Ali nor Muawiya gained a clear advantage was more out spoken he told Ali that not a single yawned would fight for him if he did not accept their proposal.
