I heard a scholar claim that Imam Ali divorced Aisha from Prophet Muhammad (s) after the Battle of Jamal. How credible is this information? Could you provide strong and reliable references to support this claim?

The Battle of the Camel took place the moment that Imam 'Ali (as) was voted in as caliph, approximately twenty-five years after the Holy Prophet (s) had passed away, so it would not have been possible for Imam 'Ali (as) to divorce 'A'isha from the Prophet (s).
Year of the Holy Prophet's (s) passing: 11 AH.
Year of the Battle of the Camel: 36 AH
