At the time when the event of Saqifa was taking place, [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], [['Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib]] and some Muhajirun were busy with the washing and shrouding rituals of the Prophet (s)'s corpse. According to [[Sahih al-Bukhari]] and [[Sahih al-Muslim]], Imam 'Ali (a) did not pledge his allegiance to Abu Bakr so long as his wife, [[Fatima al-Zahra (a)]] was still alive, that is, 6 months after the Prophet (s)'s demise. According to 'Abd al-Razzaq, [[al-Bukhari]]'s teacher, in his book, ''al-Musannaf'', in addition to 'Ali (a), no person from [[Banu Hashim]] pledged their allegiance to Abu Bakr during those six months. | At the time when the event of Saqifa was taking place, [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], [['Abbas b.
