1. Narrated Abdullah Bin Abi Aufa: Who was one of those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ beneath the Tree When the people brought Sadaqa i.e. rakat to the Prophet ﷺ he used to say; O Allah! Bless them with your Mercy. Once my father came with his Sadaqa to him whereupon he i.e. the Prophet said. O Allah! Bless the family of Abu Aufa. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6512
2. Narrated Ibn Abbas: I used to teach the Quran to some people of the Muhajirln emigrants ; among whom there was Abdulrahman Bin Auf. While I was in his house at Mina; and he was with Umar Bin AlKhattab during Umar last Hajj; Abdulrahman came to me and said; Would that you had seen the man who came today to the Chief of the Believers Umar ; saying; O Chief of the Believers! What do you think about so-and-so who says; If Umar should die; I will give the pledge of allegiance to such-andsuch person; as by Allah; the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr was nothing but a prompt sudden action which got established afterwards. Umar became angry and then said; Allah willing; I will stand before the people tonight and warn them against those people who want to deprive the others of their rights the question of rulership. Abdulrahman said; I said; O Chief of the believers! Do not do that; for the season of Hajj gathers the riff-raff and the rubble; and it will be they who will gather around you when you stand to address the people. And I am afraid that you will get up and say something; and some people will spread your statement and may not say what you have actually said and may not understand its meaning; and may interpret it incorrectly; so you should wait till you reach Medina; as it is the place of emigration and the place of Prophet Traditions; and there you can come in touch with the learned and noble people; and tell them your ideas with confidence; and the learned people will understand your statement and put it in its proper place. On that; Umar said; By Allah! Allah willing; I will do this in the first speech I will deliver before the people in Medina. Ibn Abbas added: We reached Medina by the end of the month of Dhu AlHijja; and when it was Friday; we went quickly to the Masjid as soon as the sun had declined; and I saw Saeed Bin Zaid Bin Amr Bin Nufail sitting at the corner of the pulpit; and I too sat close to him so that my knee was touching his knee; and after a short while Umar Bin AlKhattab came out; and when I saw him coming towards us; I said to Saeed Bin Zaid Bin Amr Bin Nufail Today Umar will say such a thing as he has never said since he was chosen as Caliph. Saeed denied my statement with astonishment and said; What thing do you expect Umar to say the like of which he has never said before? In the meantime; Umar sat on the pulpit and when the callmakers for the prayer had finished their call; Umar stood up; and having glorified and praised Allah as He deserved; he said; Now then; I am going to tell you something which Allah has written for me to say. I do not know; perhaps it portends my death; so whoever understands and remembers it; must narrate it to the others wherever his mount takes him; but if somebody is afraid that he does not understand it; then it is unlawful for him to tell lies about me. Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him; and among what Allah revealed; was the Verse of the Rajam the stoning of married person male & female who commits illegal sexual intercourse; and we did recite this Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah Messenger ﷺ did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him. I am afraid that after a long time has passed; somebody will say; By Allah; we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah Book; and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted to any married person male & female ; who commits illegal sexual intercourse; if the required evidence is available or there is conception or confession. And then we used to recite among the Verses in Allah Book: O people! Do not claim to be the offspring of other than your fathers; as it is disbelief unthankfulness on your part that you claim to be the offspring of other than your real father. Then Allah Messenger ﷺ said; Do not praise me excessively as Jesus; son of Marry was praised; but call me Allah Slave and His Apostles. O people! I have been informed that a speaker amongst you says; By Allah; if Umar should die; I will give the pledge of allegiance to such-and-such person. One should not deceive oneself by saying that the pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was given suddenly and it was successful. No doubt; it was like that; but Allah saved the people from its evil; and there is none among you who has the qualities of Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge of allegiance to anybody among you without consulting the other Muslims; neither that person; nor the person to whom the pledge of allegiance was given; are to be supported; lest they both should be killed. And no doubt after the death of the Prophet ﷺ we were informed that the Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of Bani Sada. Ali and AlZubair and whoever was with them; opposed us; while the emigrants gathered with Abu Bakr. I said to Abu Bakr; Let go to these Ansari brothers of ours. So we set out seeking them; and when we approached them; two pious men of theirs met us and informed us of the final decision of the Ansar; and said; O group of Muhajirin emigrants ! Where are you going? We replied; We are going to these Ansari brothers of ours. They said to us; You shouldnt go near them. Carry out whatever we have already decided. I said; By Allah; we will go to them. And so we proceeded until we reached them at the shed of Bani Sada. Behold! There was a man sitting amongst them and wrapped in something. I asked; Who is that man? They said; He is Saad Bin Ubada. I asked; What is wrong with him? They said; He is sick. After we sat for a while; the Ansar speaker said; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah; and praising Allah as He deserved; he added; To proceed; we are Allah Ansar helpers and the majority of the Muslim army; while you; the emigrants; are a small group and some people among you came with the intention of preventing us from practicing this matter of caliphate and depriving us of it. When the speaker had finished; I intended to speak as I had prepared a speech which I liked and which I wanted to deliver in the presence of Abu Bakr; and I used to avoid provoking him. So; when I wanted to speak; Abu Bakr said; Wait a while. I disliked to make him angry. So Abu Bakr himself gave a speech; and he was wiser and more patient than I. By Allah; he never missed a sentence that I liked in my own prepared speech; but he said the like of it or better than it spontaneously. After a pause he said; O Ansar! You deserve all the qualities that you have attributed to yourselves; but this question of Caliphate is only for the Quraish as they are the best of the Arabs as regards descent and home; and I am pleased to suggest that you choose either of these two men; so take the oath of allegiance to either of them as you wish. And then Abu Bakr held my hand and Abu Ubaida Bin AlJarrah hand who was sitting amongst us. I hated nothing of what he had said except that proposal; for by Allah; I would rather have my neck chopped off as expiator for a sin than become the ruler of a nation; one of whose members is Abu Bakr; unless at the time of my death my own-self suggests something I dont feel at present. And then one of the Ansar said; I am the pillar on which the camel with a skin disease eczema rubs itself to satisfy the itching i.e.; I am a noble ; and I am as a high class palm tree! O Quraish. There should be one ruler from us and one from you. Then there was a hue and cry among the gathering and their voices rose so that I was afraid there might be great disagreement; so I said; O Abu Bakr! Hold your hand out. He held his hand out and I pledged allegiance to him; and then all the emigrants gave the Pledge of allegiance and so did the Ansar afterwards. And so we became victorious over Saad Bin Ubada whom AlAnsar wanted to make a ruler. One of the Ansar said; You have killed Saad Bin Ubada. I replied; Allah has killed Saad Bin Ubada. Umar added; By Allah; apart from the great tragedy that had happened to us i.e. the death of the Prophet ; there was no greater problem than the allegiance pledged to Abu Bakr because we were afraid that if we left the people; they might give the Pledge of allegiance after us to one of their men; in which case we would have given them our consent for something against our real wish; or would have opposed them and caused great trouble. So if any person gives the Pledge of allegiance to somebody to become a Caliph without consulting the other Muslims; then the one he has selected should not be granted allegiance; lest both of them should be killed. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-1592
3. Narrated Aisha: the wife of the Prophet Allah Messenger ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called AlSunah AlAliya Umar stood up and said; By Allah! Allah Messenger ﷺ is not dead! Umar later on said; By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that. He said; Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men. Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allah Messenger ﷺ ; kissed him and said; Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ; you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is; Allah will never make you taste death twice. Then he went out and said; O oath-taker! Dont be hasty. When Abu Bakr spoke; Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said; No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad; then Muhammad is dead; but whoever worshipped Allah; then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Then he recited Allah Statement.:- O Muhammad Verily you will die; and they also will die. 39.30 He also recited:- Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away; before him; If he dies Or is killed; will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels; not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful. 3.144 The people wept loudly; and the Ansar were assembled with Sad Bin Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said to the emigrants. There should be one Amir from us and one from you. Then Abu Bakr; Umar Bin AlKhattab and Abu baida Bin AlJarrah went to them. Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. Umar later on used to say; By Allah; I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement; We are the rulers and you Ansars are the ministers i.e. advisers ; Hubab Bin AlMundhir said; No; by Allah we wont accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you. Abu Bakr said; No; we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers; for they i.e. Quarish are the best family amongst the Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either Umar or Abu Ubaida Bin AlJarrah as your ruler. Umar said to Abu Bakr ; No but we elect you; for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Allah Messenger ﷺ. So Umar took Abu Bakr hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said; You have killed Sad Bin Ubada. Umar said; Allah has killed him. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-3351
4. Narrated Ibn Umar: When we reached Hudaibiya in the next year of the treaty of Hudaibiya ; not even two men amongst us agreed unanimously as to which was the tree under which we had given the pledge of allegiance; and that was out of Allah Mercy. The sub narrator asked Nafi; For what did the Prophet ﷺ take their pledge of allegiance; was it for death? Nafi replied No; but he took their pledge of allegiance for patience. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4626
5. Narrated Aisha: Fatima the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ sent someone to Abu Bakr when he was a caliph ; asking for her inheritance of what Allah Messenger ﷺ had left of the property bestowed on him by Allah from the Fai i.e. booty gained without fighting in Medina; and Fadak; and what remained of the Khumus of the Khaibar booty. On that; Abu Bakr said; Allah Messenger ﷺ said; Our property is not inherited. Whatever we leave; is Sadaqa; but the family of the Prophet Muhammad can eat of this property. By Allah; I will not make any change in the state of the Sadaqa of Allah Messenger ﷺ and will leave it as it was during the lifetime of Allah Messenger ﷺ ; and will dispose of it as Allah Messenger ﷺ used to do. So Abu Bakr refused to give anything of that to Fatima. So she became angry with Abu Bakr and kept away from him; and did not task to him till she died. She remained alive for six months after the death of the Prophet. When she died; her husband Ali; buried her at night without informing Abu Bakr and he said the funeral prayer by himself. When Fatima was alive; the people used to respect Ali much; but after her death; Ali noticed a change in the people attitude towards him. So Ali sought reconciliation with Abu Bakr and gave him an oath of allegiance. Ali had not given the oath of allegiance during those months i.e. the period between the Prophet death and Fatima death. Ali sent someone to Abu Bakr saying; Come to us; but let nobody come with you; as he disliked that Umar should come; Umar said to Abu Bakr ; No; by Allah; you shall not enter upon them alone Abu Bakr said; What do you think they will do to me? By Allah; I will go to them So Abu Bakr entered upon them; and then Ali uttered Tashah-hud and said to Abu Bakr ; We know well your superiority and what Allah has given you; and we are not jealous of the good what Allah has bestowed upon you; but you did not consult us in the question of the rule and we thought that we have got a right in it because of our near relationship to Allah Messenger ﷺ. Thereupon Abu Bakr eyes flowed with tears. And when Abu Bakr spoke; he said; By Him in Whose Hand my soul is to keep good relations with the relatives of Allah Messenger ﷺ is dearer to me than to keep good relations with my own relatives. But as for the trouble which arose between me and you about his property; I will do my best to spend it according to what is good; and will not leave any rule or regulation which I saw Allah Messenger ﷺ following; in disposing of it; but I will follow. On that Ali said to Abu Bakr; I promise to give you the oath of allegiance in this after noon. So when Abu Bakr had offered the Zuhr prayer; he ascended the pulpit and uttered the Tashah-hud and then mentioned the story of Ali and his failure to give the oath of allegiance; and excused him; accepting what excuses he had offered; Then Ali got up and praying to Allah for forgiveness; he uttered Tashah-hud; praised Abu Bakr right; and said; that he had not done what he had done because of jealousy of Abu Bakr or as a protest of that Allah had favored him with. Ali added; But we used to consider that we too had some right in this affair of rulership and that he i.e. Abu Bakr did not consult us in this matter; and therefore caused us to feel sorry. On that all the Muslims became happy and said; You have done the right thing. The Muslims then became friendly with Ali as he returned to what the people had done i.e. giving the oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6582

1. Narrated Abu Saeed AlKhudri: During the lifetime of Allah Messenger ﷺ ; some men among the hypocrites used to remain behind him i.e. did not accompany him when he went out for a Ghazwa and they would be pleased to stay at home behind Allah Messenger ﷺ When Allah Messenger ﷺ returned from the battle they would put forward false excuses and take oaths; wishing to be praised for what they had not done.

2. Narrated Um Atiya: We gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ and he recited to me the verse 60.12. That they will not associate anything in worship with Allah 60.12.

A woman from us held her hand out and said; Such-and-such a woman cried over a dead person belonging to my family and I want to compensate her for that crying The Prophet did not say anything in reply and she left and returned. None of those women abided by her pledge except Um Sulaim; Um AlAla; and the daughter of Abi Sabra; the wife of AlMuadh or the daughter of Abi Sabra; and the wife of Muadh.

On that; Abu Bakr said; Allah Messenger ﷺ said; Our property is not inherited. Whatever we leave; is Sadaqa; but the family of the Prophet Muhammad can eat of this property. By Allah; I will not make any change in the state of the Sadaqa of Allah Messenger ﷺ and will leave it as it was during the lifetime of Allah Messenger ﷺ ; and will dispose of it as Allah Messenger ﷺ used to do. So Abu Bakr refused to give anything of that to Fatima. So she became angry with Abu Bakr and kept away from him; and did not task to him till she died. She remained alive for six months after the death of the Prophet. When she died; her husband Ali; buried her at night without informing Abu Bakr and he said the funeral prayer by himself. When Fatima was alive; the people used to respect Ali much; but after her death; Ali noticed a change in the people attitude towards him. So Ali sought reconciliation with Abu Bakr and gave him an oath of allegiance. Ali had not given the oath of allegiance during those months i.e. the period between the Prophet death and Fatima death. Ali sent someone to Abu Bakr saying; Come to us; but let nobody come with you; as he disliked that Umar should come; Umar said to Abu Bakr ; No; by Allah; you shall not enter upon them alone Abu Bakr said; What do you think they will do to me? By Allah; I will go to them So Abu Bakr entered upon them; and then Ali uttered Tashah-hud and said to Abu Bakr ; We know well your superiority and what Allah has given you; and we are not jealous of the good what Allah has bestowed upon you; but you did not consult us in the question of the rule and we thought that we have got a right in it because of our near relationship to Allah Messenger ﷺ. Thereupon Abu Bakr eyes flowed with tears. And when Abu Bakr spoke; he said; By Him in Whose Hand my soul is to keep good relations with the relatives of Allah Messenger ﷺ is dearer to me than to keep good relations with my own relatives. But as for the trouble which arose between me and you about his property; I will do my best to spend it according to what is good; and will not leave any rule or regulation which I saw Allah Messenger ﷺ following; in disposing of it; but I will follow. On that Ali said to Abu Bakr; I promise to give you the oath of allegiance in this after noon. So when Abu Bakr had offered the Zuhr prayer; he ascended the pulpit and uttered the Tashah-hud and then mentioned the story of Ali and his failure to give the oath of allegiance; and excused him; accepting what excuses he had offered; Then Ali got up and praying to Allah for forgiveness; he uttered Tashah-hud; praised Abu Bakr right; and said; that he had not done what he had done because of jealousy of Abu Bakr or as a protest of that Allah had favored him with. Ali added; But we used to consider that we too had some right in this affair of rulership and that he i.e. Abu Bakr did not consult us in this matter; and therefore caused us to feel sorry. On that all the Muslims became happy and said; You have done the right thing. The Muslims then became friendly with Ali as he returned to what the people had done i.e. giving the oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6582
5. It is narrated on the authority of Urwa Bin AlZubair who narrated from Aisha that she informed him that Fatima; daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; sent someone to Abu Bakr to demand from him her share of the legacy left by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from what Allah had bestowed upon him at Medina and Fadak and what was left from one-filth of the income annually received from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We prophets do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is to be given in charity. The household of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will live on the income from these properties; but; by Allah; I will not change the charity of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the condition in which it was in his own time. I will do the same with it as the Messenger of Allah may peace be upun him himself used to do. So Abu Bakr refused to hand over anything from it to Fatima who got angry with Abu Bakr for this reason. She forsook him and did not talk to him until the end of her life. She lived for six months after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When she died; her husband. Ali Bin Abu Talib; buried her at night. He did not inform Abu Bakr about her death and offered the funeral prayer over her himself. During the lifetime of Fatima; All received special regard from the people. After she had died; he felt estrangement in the faces of the people towards him. So he sought to make peace with Abu Bakr and offer his allegiance to him. He had not yet owed allegiance to him as Caliph during these months. He sent a person to Abu Bakr requesting him to visit him unaccompanied by anyone disapproving the presence of Umar. Umar said to Abu Bakr: BY Allah; you will not visit them alone. Abu Bakr said: What will they do to me? By Allah; I will visit them. And he did pay them a visit alone. All recited Tashahhud as it is done in the beginning of a religious sermon ; then said: We recognise your moral excellence and what Allah has bestowed upon you. We do not envy the favour i. e. the Catiphate which Allah nas conferred upon you; but you have done it assumed the position of Caliph alone without consulting us ; and we thought we had a right to be consulted on account of our kinship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He continued to talk to Abu Bakr in this vein until the latter eyes welled up with tears. Then Abd Bakr spoke and said: By Allah; in Whose Hand is my life; the kinship of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is dearer to me than the kinship of my own people. As regards the dispute that has arisen between you and me about these properties; I have not deviated from the right course and I have not given up doing about them what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do. So Ali said to Abu Bakr: This aftetnoon is fixed for swearing allegiance to you. So when Abu Bakr had finished his Zuhr prayer; he ascended the pulpit and recited Tashahhud; and described the status of Ali; his delay in swearing allegiance and the excuse which lie had offered to him for this delay. After this he asked for God forgiveness. Then Ali Bin Abu Talib recited the Tashahhud. extolled the merits of Abu Bakr and said that his action was nott prompted by any jealousy of Abu Bakr on his part or his refusal to accept the high position which Allah had conferred upon him; adding: But we were of the opinion that we should have a share in the government; but the matter had been decided without taking us into confidence; and this displeased us. Hence the delay in offering allegiance. The Muslims were pleased with this explanation and they said: You have done the right thing. The Muslims were again favourably inclined to Ali since he adopted the proper course of action. SahihMuslim-017-001-18043
6. Narrated Aisha: the wife of the Prophet Allah Messenger ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called AlSunah AlAliya Umar stood up and said; By Allah! Allah Messenger ﷺ is not dead! Umar later on said; By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that. He said; Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men. Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allah Messenger ﷺ ; kissed him and said; Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ; you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is; Allah will never make you taste death twice. Then he went out and said; O oath-taker! Dont be hasty. When Abu Bakr spoke; Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said; No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad; then Muhammad is dead; but whoever worshipped Allah; then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Then he recited Allah Statement.:- O Muhammad Verily you will die; and they also will die. 39.30 He also recited:- Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away; before him; If he dies Or is killed; will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels; not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful. 3.144 The people wept loudly; and the Ansar were assembled with Sad Bin Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said to the emigrants. There should be one Amir from us and one from you. Then Abu Bakr; Umar Bin AlKhattab and Abu baida Bin AlJarrah went to them. Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. Umar later on used to say; By Allah; I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement; We are the rulers and you Ansars are the ministers i.e. advisers ; Hubab Bin AlMundhir said; No; by Allah we wont accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you. Abu Bakr said; No; we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers; for they i.e. Quarish are the best family amongst the Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either Umar or Abu Ubaida Bin AlJarrah as your ruler. Umar said to Abu Bakr ; No but we elect you; for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Allah Messenger ﷺ. So Umar took Abu Bakr hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said; You have killed Sad Bin Ubada. Umar said; Allah has killed him. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-3351
7. It was narrated that Qais Bin Abi Gharazah said: At the time of the Messenger of Allah we used to be called Samasir brokers. The Messenger of Allah came to us when we were selling and called us by a name that was better than that. He said: O merchants Tujjar ; this selling involves lies and false oaths; so mix some charity with it. SunanAlNasai-017-001-13946
