The Syeda -asws \u2019s face was the best of faces among people (Divine Light would emerge from her -asws face), \u2018Salawat\u2019 \u2018Ya Allah -azwj Grant compensation to her -asws , to her father -asws , her husband -asws and her children the purified ones -asws .

[8] \n The Shahadat of Syeda -asws : \n (After the Shahadat of Rasool Allah -saww , some Muslims decided to make Abu Bakr as the successor of Rasool Allah -saww but Imam Ali -asws and his -asws true followers declined to accept Abu Bakr as the successor (Caliph) after Rasool Allah -saww and told them that Rasool Allah -saww , during his life-time, had already appointed Ali -asws (as his -saww successor).

\n (After some time), Umar said to Abu Bakr, \u2018Send a message to Ali -asws to do his \u2018Bayt [9] (pay allegiance), for there is nothing in this (Caliphate) until he -asws does \u2018Bayt\u2019, and if he -asws were to do so, it will be secure\u2019. Abu Bakr sent a message to him -asws , \u2018Answer to the caliph of the Rasool Allah -saww \u2019. The messenger came and said that to him -asws .

Imam Ali -asws replied to him: \u2018Glory be to Allah -azwj , with what haste you have forged a lie to the Rasool Allah -saww , he knows and those that surround him know that the Allah -azwj and His -azwj Messenger -saww did not appoint a Caliph other than myself -asws \u2019. The messenger went and informed him (Abu Bakr) of what he -asws had said to him. \n Abu Bakr sent his messenger again and insisted that Ali -asws must do \u2018Bayt\u2019 of \u2018Amir-ul-Momineen\u2019.

Ali -asws said to him (the messenger should tell to Abu Bakr): \u2018Glory be to Allah -azwj , by Allah -azwj it has not been long and he (Abu Bakr) has forgotten it. By Allah -azwj , he knows that this is a name (Amir-ul-Momineen), which is not correct except for myself -asws , and Rasool Allah -saww has ordered it, and he himself was the seventh one who had saluted me -asws as Amir-ul-Momineen (the chief of the faithfuls).

He (Abu Bakr) and his companion Umar were among those seven (people) who inquired by saying, \u2018Is this truth from Allah -azwj and His -azwj Prophet -saww ?\u2019 \n The messenger returned and informed him of what he -asws had said. He kept quiet from him on that day. \n When Imam Ali -asws saw the Abandonment of the people, their avoidance of supporting him -asws , and their gathering around Abu Bakr and their obedience to Abu Bakr, Mola Ali -asws decided to stay at his -asws house.
