"Should I have left the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) without ghusl and burial, and come out to seek power?"Janabe Salman reports "During the night, Hazrat Ali (a.s.), accompanied by Janabe Zahra (s.a.) and his sons, Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Husain (a.s.) visited the houses of the companions of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). He asked them by the right of Allah (s.w.t.) to help and support him. But besides the four of us, nobody even gave him a reply. We shaved our heads and prepared ourselves for his help. When Hazrat Ali (a.s.) saw that people were not ready to support him and that instead, all of them were in support of Abu Bakr, he confined himself to his house." (Ref Sulaym Ibne Qays page 81-83; Behaarul Anwaar vol 28, page 264-268) Ibne Qutayba narrates the incident as follows "Hazrat Ali (a.s.) along with the daughter of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), Janabe Zahra (s.a.) visited the house of the Ansar in the night and sought their support. The people said, O the daughter of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.), we have already sworn allegiance to this man. If you and your husband had come earlier, we would never have refused you. At this Hazrat Ali (a.s.) replied, "Should I have left the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) without ghusl and burial, and come out to seek power?" Janabe Zahra (s.a.) said, "Abul Hasan (a.s.) has done what was necessary for him to do; and for what the people have done, Allah will take their account for it." (Sunni ref: Al Imamah was Siyasah, vol 1, page 19)
