The Caliphate of Abu Bakr (R.A)
THE COMPANIONS SUBMITTED TO HIS AUTHORITY'Abdul-Malik Al-Juwainee said, "The caliphate of Abu Bakr was ratified through the consensus of the Prophet's Companions, all of whom submitted to his authority and obeyed his commands....
As for the Raafidah's (the Shiites') claim that 'Ali was a Verse to the idea of pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr, what they say is a blatant lie. Yes, 'Ali did not attend the meeting that took place in the courtyard of Banu Saa'idah, but that was because he had gone into seclusion, having become overwhelmed with grief and sadness upon learning of the Prophet's death. What is important here is the fact that he later came out and, in the presence of a great many witnesses, pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr .
[Kitaab Al Irshaad 361]
