Hadith 185

th a weak voice, painfully, ‘I am your ruler and I am not the best of you, and Ali-asws is among you, and know that there is a satan-la for me, tiring me – and he-la does not intend by it apart from me, so when I slip, straighten me so I do not fall in your awareness and your feelings, and seek Forgiveness for me and for you all’. And he descended. I held his hand – and the people had witnesses his weakness – and I pressed his hand with a pressing, then made him to be seated, and the people advanced to his allegiance and his accompaniment to his fear, and every one disliked pledging allegiance to him and they were saying, ‘What happened to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws? ’
I said, ‘It (ruler-ship) is freed from his-asws neck and made to be obedience of the Muslims due to the scarcity of the opposition upon them in their choice’. The gatherers came to his (Abu Bakr) house to pledge their allegiance and they were unwilling. When his allegiance spread, we knew that Ali-asws had carried (Syeda) Fatima-asws (on a mule), and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws to the houses of the Emigrants and the Helpers, reminding them of his-asws allegiance upon us in four places, and enraged them.

I said, ‘Leave the falsities from you-asws and stories of the womenfolk, and tell Ali-asws to come out! ’ She-asws said: ‘There is neither love nor prestige, are you scaring me-asws with the party of Satan-la, O Umar? ! And the party of Satan would always be weak’. I said, ‘If he-asws does not come out, I will come with ample firewood and ignite fire upon the inhabitants of this house, and burn down the ones in it, or Ali-asws is led to the allegiance’; and I grabbed the whip of Qunfuz and struck it, and said to Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, ‘You and your men, go and collect the firewood’.
