List of people who did not pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr

In the immediate aftermath of Muhammad's death in 11 AH (632 CE), several of the Ansar (natives of Medina) gathered in the Saqifah (courtyard) of the Saida clan.

[5] Upon learning about the meeting, Muhammad's companions Abu Bakr and Umar quickly forced their way into Saqifah.

[6] After a heated meeting, in which a chief of the Ansar was beaten into submission by Umar, the small group of Muslims gathered at Saqifah agreed on Abu Bakr as the new head of the Muslim community.

[7] The Saqifah event excluded Muhammad's family, who were preparing to bury him, and most of the Muhajirun.

[a] According to various sources, many people did not pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr immediately after the Saqifah.
