Abstract
Interaction with others and reaching mutual understanding or resolving conflicts can be achieved through various means, including dialogue and negotiation. While this approach is significant in non-political matters such as family affairs, the present paper aims to examine political dialogues in which a form of give-and-take occurred between the Ahl al-Bayt and their opponents or enemies, whose words and actions are considered authoritative. The key question is to what extent the Prophet and the Imams stood firm or made concessions when confronting their opponents. Differences in some historical and hadith reports necessitate careful analysis to arrive at a conclusion. The findings indicate that the Ahl al-Bayt engaged in diverse interactions with their opponents—at times resisting their demands and at other times granting certain concessions. This study employs an analytical–descriptive method and draws upon primary sources.
