The Ansaars [1] claimed that they were more entitled to appoint a caliph from amongst them due to their help and assistance, whilst the Mahajareen (Emigrants) insisted a caliph should be from amongst them, as they were first in embracing Islam and had close kinship with Rasool Allah -saww .\u00a0 Their arguments continued for hours, turning into ugly altercations, exposing tribal rivalries and personal grudge, and ending in a stampede-like situation.

At this point, Umar Ibn Khattab hurriedly took the hand of Abu Bakr and pledged allegiance to him and some followed suit, while others vigorously opposed it. \u00a0It took between 1-3 days as per some narrations. \n Then they came out compelling and coercing others to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr, Umar Ibn Khattab being the foremost in doing so [2] .
