Which battle was fought to seek revenge for the martyrdom of Hazrat Usman (RA)?

Explanation

The Battle of the Camel (Jang-e-Jamal) was the first major civil war among Muslims, fought in 36 AH near Basra. It was led by Hazrat Aisha (RA), Hazrat Talha (RA), and Hazrat Zubair (RA) against the forces of Hazrat Ali (RA), who was then the fourth Caliph. The primary demand of the opposing group was to bring the killers of Hazrat Usman (RA) to justice. The battle is named "Jamal" (Camel) because Hazrat Aisha (RA) was mounted on a camel during the conflict.

Good to know

Hazrat Usman (RA), the third Caliph of Islam, was martyred in 35 AH after rebels besieged his house in Madina. Following his martyrdom, Hazrat Ali (RA) assumed the caliphate. However, a group of prominent companions, including Hazrat Aisha (RA), Hazrat Talha (RA), and Hazrat Zubair (RA), demanded that the killers of Usman (RA) be punished immediately. This disagreement led to the Battle of the Camel in 36 AH, which resulted in the martyrdom of both Talha (RA) and Zubair (RA), and Hazrat Aisha (RA) was respectfully sent back to Madina under escort.
