"عن أَبىِ الحَجَّافِ قالَ: لما بُويِعَ أبو بكرٍ أغلقَ بَابَه ثَلاثةَ أيامٍ، يَخْرجُ إليهم في كل يومٍ فيقولُ: أيُّهَا الناسُ قَدْ أَقَلتُكُمْ بَيْعَتَكُم فَبَايِعُوا مَنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ، وكلَّ ذَلِكَ يقومُ إِليهِ عليُّ بنُ أبى طالبٍ فيقولُ: لاَ نُقِيلُكَ ولا نَسْتَقِيلُكَ وقد قَدَّمَك رَسولُ الله ﷺ فمن ذَا يُؤَخِّرُكَ؟ ".

"On the authority of Abu al-Hajjaf, he said: When Abu Bakr was pledged allegiance, he closed his door for three days. He would come out to them each day and say: O people, I have released you from your pledge, so pledge allegiance to whoever you love. Each time, Ali ibn Abi Talib would stand up and say: We will not release you, nor will we ask you to resign, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ put you forward, so who could delay you?"
