The reason is that in such a situation, Imam Ali (as) had only two choices; he could either unsheathe his sword and begin to fight in defense of his and his families rights (which one of those rights was to be true successor to the Prophet (pbuh) after him), or to stay silent and begin to strengthen Islam in other fields (even though he had been deprived of being khalifah after the Prophet (pbuh)). Since the first option would result in the disunion and division of the Muslim nation, thus making it prone to attacks by the Roman Empire or those opposing Islam (e.g. the apostates and those who falsely claimed they were divine prophets after Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)), he had no option but to go with the second and sacrifice his wife and child’s lives in order for the Prophet’s efforts and the blood of the martyrs not to be wasted and for Islam to live on.
