Could you provide detailed information about the conquests of Rome and Persia involving Maula Ali and his sons, as well as suggestions for any relevant books on this topic?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Imam Ali (AS) and his sons never took part in any army or battle under the leadership of the wrongdoers. The narrations claiming that are fabricated and never narrated by any authentic narrator. Ibn Khaldoun claimed that in after over eight hundred years after Imam Ali's martyrdom with out mentioning any chain of narrators, that is why scholars do not take such claims as authentic at all. Such fabricated narrations aims to show that Imam Ali (AS) and his sons approved the leadership of the Saqeefa rulers, which is a false claim.

Why did Imam Ali not continue the same Adhan that was practiced during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (s), and why was Bagh-e-Fidak not given to Imam Hasan (a) and Imam Hussain (a) during Imam Ali's caliphate?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Imam Ali (AS) did not use his authority as head of the state to retain any of his or his family rights.  He said that Fatima (AS) and her opponents who took away her Fadak have gone to the hereafter and Allah Will Judge between them.

Imam Ali (AS) was focusing on reserving the rights of Muslims in general and on his or his family rights which were taken away.

What do we have to say about Sahih Muslim Hadith 4577 in which Hazrat Abbas (RA) uses harsh words against Moula Ali (AS) calling him a liar, sinner, covenant-breaker, and traitor?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is big misunderstanding in your quoting of the Hadeeth in Salih Muslim. The Hadeeth is narrated from Malik ibn Aws مالك بن أوس from Omar ibn Al-Khattab that Omar told Abdullah Ibn Abbas that you and your cousin Ali Ibn Abi Talib looked at Abu Bakr and at me as liars, sinners, covenant-breaker and traitor. (Salih Muslim, 5;152). 
'Omar was telling Abdullah Ibn Abbas what he and Ali (AS) thought about Abu Bakr and Omar.

This Hadeeth was narrated also in Musannaf Abdul Razzaq 5;472.

Bukhari has also narrated this Hadeeth from Musannaf Abdul Razzaq but he omitted two words from it.
