إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمَّا صَنَعُوا مَا صَنَعُوا إِذْ بَايَعُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَمْ يُمْنَعْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مِنْ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ إِلَّا نَظَراً لِلنَّاسِ وَ تَخَوُّفاً عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَرْتَدُّوا عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَيَعْبُدُوا الْأَوْثَانَ وَ لَا يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَانَ الْأَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُقِرَّهُمْ عَلَى مَا صَنَعُوا مِنْ أَنْ يَرْتَدُّوا عَنْ جَمِيعِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ الَّذِينَ رَكِبُوا مَا رَكِبُوا فَأَمَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَصْنَعْ ذَلِكَ وَ دَخَلَ فِيمَا دَخَلَ فِيهِ النَّاسُ عَلَى غَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَ لَا عَدَاوَةٍ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يُكْفِرُهُ وَ لَا يُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ- وَ لِذَلِكَ كَتَمَ عَلِيٌّ ع أَمْرَهُ وَ بَايَعَ مُكْرَهاً حَيْثُ لَمْ يَجِدْ أَعْوَاناً.

454. Humayd bin Ziyad narrated from Al-Hassan bin Muhammad Al-Kindy from more than one from Aban ibn Uthman from Al-Fadhl from Zurara that Abu Ja’far (al-Baqir) (as) said: "When the people did what they did, they pledged their allegiance to Abu Bakr. Nothing prevented Amir al-Mu'minin (as) from inviting people to follow him except that he looked at the people and feared that they might turn away from Islam, worship idols, and not testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. It was dearer to him to affirm their actions than to risk them apostatizing from Islam altogether. Those who perished were those who committed what they committed. As for the one who did not engage in that and entered what the people entered without animosity towards Amir al-Mu'minin (as), that does not make him an apostate or expel him from Islam. For that reason, Ali (as) kept his affair secret and gave allegiance under compulsion where he found no support."
