Although in his sermon on the pulpit of [[Masjid al-Nabawi]], [['Umar b. al-Khattab]] admitted to 'Ali's (a) avoidance and joining of some of his companions, except few, [[Sunni]] historians do not want to mention or explain this issue. However, details of this event have been reported in different places. Since every report about that have been recorded separately and irrelevant to other reports and the order of events is not known, it is not clear that the request of allegiance from Imam 'Ali (a) and his followers has been made just after the gathering in [[Saqifa Bani Sa'ida|Saqifa]] and coming to the mosque, after the allegiance of people or after burial of the Prophet (s).

Thabit]], [[Abu Ayyub al-Ansari]], [[Salman al-Farsi|Salman]], [[Abu Dhar al-Ghifari|Abu Dhar]], [[Khalid b. Sa'id]] and others gave allegiance with Abu Bakr after Imam 'Ali (a) or little before him and upon their allegiance, each of them expressed their beliefs about Imam 'Ali (a) and his caliphate.
