HAKIM 4457:
from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī —
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, the preachers of the Ansar (the residents of Madinah) stood up. One of them said, "O migrants! Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to appoint a companion from among you along with a companion from amongst us, so we would see that in this matter, two men should be appointed, one from among you and the other from among us." The preachers of the Ansar continued to discuss this matter until Zaid bin Thabit stood up and said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was one of the migrants, and the Imam (leader) should also be from the migrants. As for us, we are his supporters, just as we were the supporters of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Abu Bakr then stood up and said, "May Allah reward you all, O people of Ansar, and may He make your words firm." Then he said, "If you had done otherwise, we would not have accepted your allegiance." Zaid bin Thabit then took Abu Bakr's hand and said, "This is your companion, so pledge your allegiance to him." They all pledged their allegiance to Abu Bakr and then left. When Abu Bakr sat on the pulpit, he looked at the faces of the people and did not see Ali. He asked about him, and some people from the Ansar brought Ali to him. Abu Bakr said, "O cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , did you intend to cause a fitnah (discord) among the Muslims?" Ali replied, "There should not be any blame on you, O successor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He then pledged his allegiance to him. Then Abu Bakr did not see Zubair ibn Al-Awam, so he asked about him until they brought him. Abu Bakr said, "O cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companion, did you also intend to cause a fitnah among the Muslims?" Zubair replied, "There should not be any blame on you, O successor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He then pledged his allegiance to him.

عن ابو سعيد الخدري —
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ خُطَبَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ قَرَنَ مَعَهُ رَجُلًا مِنَّا فَنَرَى أَنْ يَلِيَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ رَجُلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْكُمْ وَالْآخَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَتَتَابَعَتْ خُطَبَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَكُونُ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَنَحْنُ أَنْصَارُهُ كَمَا كُنَّا أَنْصَارَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ «جَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَثَبَّتَ قَائِلَكُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَا لَوْ فَعَلْتُمْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ لَمَا صَالَحْنَاكُمْ» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ بِيَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا صَاحِبُكُمْ فَبَايَعُوهُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقُوا فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ نَظَرَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمْ يَرَ عَلِيًّا فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَتَوْا بِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ ابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَخَتَنُهُ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَشُقَّ عَصًا الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ فَقَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعَهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرَ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى جَاءُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَمَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحَوَارِيُّهُ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَشُقَّ عَصَا الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ لَا تَثْرِيبَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعَاهُ
