Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "None of you should say: 'O Allah, forgive me if You wish; O Allah, be merciful to me if You wish,' but he should always appeal to Allah with determination, for nobody can force Allah to do something against His Will." (Evidence Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith number 6339)

A key hadith supporting immediate acceptance comes from Abu Bakr al-Khallāl’s Kitāb al-Sunnah. But Sholars have long criticized this source. For example, the narrations in it rely on weak transmitters. In particular, the hadith about ʿAli (a.s.)’s allegiance depends on ʿAli ibn Zayd ibn Judʿān – a narrator whom al-Juzajānī and Ibn Ḥibbān call “weak,” Ibn al-Jawzī notes “he would mix up chains,” and Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Maʿīn outright label him “daʿīf/worthless”. In short, al-Sunnah li-Abī Bakr is not a rigorously authenticated source, so its claim that ʿAli (a.s.) instantly and willingly gave bayʿah is far from proven. In contrast, Sahih al-Bukhari (accepted by all of Sunna) indicates ʿAli (a.s.) delayed his pledge until after Fāṭimah (sa)’s death. Aisha reports that “Fāṭimah remained alive six months after the Prophet (saw)’s death” and refused to speak to Abu Bakr during that time. Only after Fāṭimah (sa) died (six months later) did ʿAli (a.s.) reconcile and give bayʿah. Bukhari even recounts that ʿAli (a.s.) secretly buried Fāṭimah (sa) at night and only sought out Abu Bakr once the situation quieted. This timing is crucial: it shows ʿAli (a.s.) did not immediately accept Abu Bakr out of conviction, but held back until the conflict eased. The narrative goes on to describe ʿAli (a.s.) telling Abu Bakr, “we know your merits… but you did not consult us… so we thought we had a right [to leadership]” and only then pledging allegiance later that day. Importantly, hadith collections record the famous Ghadir Khumm event. In Jamiʿ at-Tirmidhi (3713) and elsewhere, the Prophet (saw) is quoted at Ghadir as saying: “Whoever’s mawla I am, ʿAli is his mawla” (Arabic: “Man kuntu mawlahu fa-ʿAliyyun mawlahu”). Musnad Aḥmad also preserves multiple chains for this statement. Authorities acknowledge the incident and its text as authentic, al-Dhahabī calls its isnād “jayyid,” and al-Albānī even graded the hadith sahīh. While some interpret “mawla” loosely (e.g. “friend” or “patron”), the wording clearly links ʿAli (a.s.) with the Prophet’s (saw) authority. The fact that thousands of Companions heard this proclamation but later still picked Abu Bakr (with ʿAli (a.s.)’s reluctant consent) underscores that ʿAli (a.s.)’s compliance was not a glowing endorsement of Abu Bakr, but a unity-driven decision. Sahih Bukhari’s Saqīfah account confirms ʿAli (a.s.)’s initial objection. When the Ansar gathered, Bukhari narrates that “ʿAli and az-Zubayr and whoever was with them opposed us,” while only the emigrants sided with Abu Bakr. In other words, ʿAli (a.s.) did not immediately join the consensus; he protested. Later, after Fāṭimah (sa)’s death, Bukhari relates a private scene: ʿAli (a.s.) tells Abu Bakr: “we know your superiority… but you did not consult us on this rule, and we thought we had a right because of our kinship to the Prophet (saw).” Only after that honest confrontation, and ʿAli (a.s.)’s own fear of wider strife, did he say, “I promise to give you the oath of allegiance” and then fulfill it. In short, ʿAli (a.s.) demanded recognition of his right, and only pledged when doing otherwise threatened Muslim unity. Even Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb admitted it was a “great tragedy” but necessary to avoid civil war. Every source shows ʿAli (a.s.) prioritized the Ummah’s unity over his own claim. Sunni historian John McHugo notes that ʿAli (a.s.) “only gave way to Abu Bakr for the sake of the unity of the community,” and repeatedly “put the harmony of the community before his own interests” or right. Likewise, ʿAli (a.s.) himself famously said he would rather die than divide the Muslims. In sum, although ʿAli (a.s.) had every right to leadership, he never revolted or sowed discord. All evidence from Sunni sources indicates he accepted Abu Bakr’s caliphate reluctantly, as a sacrifice to save Islam from civil war, not out of true conviction.

He gave him so much preference that the prophet came out carried by Abbas and Ali, with his feet dragging on the floor to lead the prayers. Real preference 🤡 Muslim 418a

Abu Bakr RA was the closest companion to the Prophet pbuh and was called Siddiq (he who believed) which is a level below prophethood. He assisted the Prophet pbuh with everything he had including his wealth and his family. Only a disbeliever hates him and the rest of the sahabaa (companions). Ali RA loved Abu Bakr RA and never questioned his Khilafah (rule). May Allah SWT grant them all his highest rank in Jannah Allahuma Ameen 🤲

The Prophet ﷺ said at Ghadir Khum Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him, and be an enemy to whoever is an enemy to him. Love whoever loves him and hate whoever hates him. Support whoever supports him, and forsake whoever forsakes him. Last line of Hadith: o allah help him who helps Ali and defeat him who abandons him. The companions are clearly commanded by this to support Imam Ali and make him the caliph. The literal meanings of "Mawla" in Arabic In the Arabic dictionary, the word "Mawla" has a wide meaning, and it is used in many meanings, such as: As-Sayyid, Commander, Leader Al-Nasir, Helper, Cooperation Al-Muhab If both Muhab and Habib are meant, then words like "Khalil" are usually used in Arabic. Does "Mawla" only mean "friend"? Friendship is two-sided: on one side there is Habib (the lover), on the other side there is Maheb (the beloved). If Mawla only means Maheb, and not Habib, then the meaning of 'friend' is not complete. it is not correct to say Mawla = Friend. meaning of friendship is complete only when Habib + Maheb are both included.If Mawla is only Habib and not Mahabhoob then the translation of " friend is not correct in terms of Arabic aspects. Saying Mawla = friend is a weak and inaccurate translation in terms of Arabic lexicon, context of Hadith, principles of meaning Mawla means friend when context is both love closeness. But way it was announced in Hadith of Ghadeer points to the concept of leadership and guardianship. context of Hadith of Ghadeer: Messenger asked this question during sermon: Do I not have more rights over your souls than you do Prophet said Whoever I am a guardian over, then upon Ali is his guardian That is, this is in the context of leadership, guardianship, and not just love. Mawla =Wali master Caliph wilayah of imam Ali was declared.

Prophet on day of arafah said. : i have completed deen for you.. Everything related to our akhirah is completed in prophet's life. Caliphate and imamates and all disputes related to them are merely political disputes and discussion. And no significance on our Akhirah.

When Messenger announced at Ghadir and said: "Whoever I am the master of, Ali is his master" Umar immediately said بخٍ بخٍ لک یا علی، أصبحت مولای ومولى کل مؤمن ومؤمنة Blessed be you, O Ali You have become my master and the master of every believing man and woman. Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal Volume 4, Page 281, Hadith No. 23896 Al-Nasa'i (Al-Khasaa'ee Al-'Alawiyyah) and Ibn Hajar Makki – (Al-Sawa'iq Al-Muhriqah) also narrated If "master" means "friend" then why did Umar say: أصبحت مولای ومولى کل مؤمن ومؤمنة That is: "My friend and the friend of every believing man and woman"? It is wrong to take such a meaning. Disadvantage of this would be that this sentence is not strong in meaning and will not be considered as a true declaration of obedience. This word "Mawla kul Mu'min wa Mu'minah" refers to a relationship and authority that has the status of leadership, priority or sovereignty over every believer. Quran also uses "Mawla" in same sense Allah is Guardian of those who believe Al-Baqarah: 257 From hadith of Messenger and saying of Umar, Mawla is taken to mean master chief master ruler then this sentence is understood as a strong and true declaration of obedience in a meaningful sense.

When Imam Ali came to know about Abu Bakr becoming the caliph, Imam Ali went to Abu Bakr and said, "Tell me, are you the rightful owner of this caliphate or am I?" The Messenger of Allah had said, "Whoever Muhammad is his master, his Ali is his master." Abu Bakr replied, "O Ali, it was you." A conversation took place between them. Abu Bakr gave only one argument for his caliphate, saying, "I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that my nation did not gather on misguidance. There is a consensus of the Muhajirin and the Ansar on my caliphate." In response, Imam Ali said, "Are we not in the ummah, that is, I, Ali, Sulayman, Ammar ibn Yasir, Abu Dharr Ghaffari, and the Ansar of Abu Dharr?" He replied, "You are in ummah, so there is no complete consensus of the ummah on your caliphate." This answer by Imam Ali proved that Abu Bakr's caliphate was incomplete.

Thank you for the reminder. I had forgotten that! Indeed, Abu Bakr (RA) led prayers when the Prophet (SAW) was still alive but very ill, and at least once the Prophet prayed behind him! That definitely meant something!

I know, there are many muslims in muslim militaries, who would fight the jihad for their brothers and sisters in Gaza, but aren't courageous enough to start the movement. The governments never did anything and never will. We need to give especially the muslims of the Egyptian Military the push they need to separate themselves from their government to go save the muslims in Gaza.
