And while swearing allegiance to Abu Bakr being a slip Allah protected Muslims against its evil, as described by ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb, with a large number of Companions opposing and renouncing it, and when allegiance to ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib being sworn publicly with presence of some Companions violating the allegiance, leading to eruption of the Battles of al-Jamal, Siffin and al-Nahrawan, in which innocent people were killed, how would wisemen be pleased then, with that rule which was put to test and exorbitantly failed from the beginning, being a mischief for the Muslims.

Amesema msimuliaji, "Anas bin Malik akapatwa na mbaranga, Al-barraa bin Azib akawa kipofu na Jarir akarudi kuwa bedui baada ya Hijra yake na akaenda Sharaat akafia ndani ya nyumba ya mama yake".
