Hadith 151

is happens, the Religion will not stand for Allah-azwj’. He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! Had it not been that, and I fear from the prosperity of this handle (caliphate), I would not have spent any night and there was an allegiance to me in the necks of the Muslims, after what I have heard and seen from (Syeda) Fatima-asws’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Ali-asws did not pledge allegiance until Fatima-asws passed away, and she-asws did not remain after her-asws father-saww except for seventy five days’’. [68] (Non-Shia source)
Notes: And some of them (reporters) said, ‘The Prophet-saww, during his-saww illness, had ordered with the Salat and did not mean anyone (in particular)’. (Non-Shia source)
Ayesha (well-known fabricatress) daughter of Abu Bakr said to Bilal, ‘He-saww had ordered Abu Bakr to lead in the Salat. When the Prophet-saww was notified upon that state, placed one of his-saww hands upon a shoulder of Ali-asws and the other upon the shoulder of Al Fazl Bin Al Abbas, and went out to the Masjid, and Abu Bakr stepped aside from the prayer niche, and prayed Salat with the people until his leadership did not become obligatory for the imbalance in the Religion’. And it is supported by what is reported by Al Bukhari by his chain from Urwah, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww found lightness from himself-saww, so he-saww went out to the prayer niche. So Abu Bakr prayed Salat with the Salat of Rasool-Allah-saww and the people were praying Salat with the Salat of Abu Bakr, i. e. by his exclamations of Takbeer, ending’. (Non-Shia source)
And the Clan of Hashim-asws did not pledge allegiance at first, then they were forced and they pledge allegiance after six months, to the extent that Muawiya wrote to Ali-asws rebuking him-asws with that where he saying, ‘You-asws had sat back just as the fearful camel’. And he-asws wrote in its answer and said: ‘I-asws had sat back just as the fearful camel until I-asws pledged allegiance and for the Command of Allah-azwj, and I-asws wanted to condemn, but I-asws praised, and if I-asws had exposed, I-asws would have been exposed (to danger), and there is no shortcoming upon the Muslims regarding me-asws that he happens to be oppressed, for as long as he does not doubt in his Religion, or suspects within himself, and this is my-asws argument against you and against others’. From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘Ali-asws is with the truth and the truth is with Ali-asws, circling with him-asws wherever he-asws circles’. (Non-Shia source)
It is reported by Abu Is’haq Ibrahim Bin Saeed Al Saqafi, from usman Bin Abu Shayba Al Absy, from Khalid Al Madainy, from Khalid Al Haza’a, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Bakrah who said, ‘I heard Ali-asws saying upon the pulpit: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww passed away and there is no one from the people foremost with this command than I-asws am’’.
