Ali never pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr

When they took out Ali pbuh they carried him to Abu Bakr and presented him for allegiance, so he answered them with all firmness and persistence:”I am more worthy for this affair than you. I will not pledge allegiance to you and you are the first to pay allegiance to me.” So they said: “We will strike your neck!” So he said pbuh:”So then you will kill a servant of Allah and a brother of His Messenger.” So Omar said:”As for being a servant of Allah yes, as for a brother of His Messenger no! And Abu Bakr is quiet! And then Omar said to Abi Bakr: Don’t you want to command him by your command? So the Khaleefa said: I don’t force him into a thing, as long as Fatima is near him! So Ali went to the grave of the Messenger of Allah s.a.w, shouting and crying” O son of my mother, the folk have made me vulnerable and they almost killed me” Sharh Manhaj v.2:56,6:11, Imama and Syaasa:12-12.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ , عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ ، وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ , أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ , قَالَتْ : ” أَوَّلُ مَا اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ , فَاسْتَأْذَنَ أَزْوَاجَهُ أَنْ يُمَرَّضَ فِي بَيْتِهَا , فَأَذِنَّ لَهُ , قالت : فَخَرَجَ وَيَدٌ لَهُ عَلَى الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ , وَيَدٌ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ آخَرَ , وَهُوَ يَخُطُّ بِرِجْلَيْهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ , قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ , فَقَالَ : أَتَدْرُونَ مَنْ الرَّجُلُ الْآخَرُ الَّذِي لَمْ تُسَمِّ عَائِشَةُ ؟ هُوَ عَلِيٌّ , وَلَكِنَّ عَائِشَةَ لَا تَطِيبُ لَهُ نَفْسًا
