Why the Ansar felt the Khalifah should be from amongst them (Arguements)

1) Medina was their city
2) They housed the Muhajeerun
3) Virtues of the Ansar

AbuBakr's Reply: "O Ansar Indeed all the virtues that you've mentioned you have. But you kow that this group of Quraysh have a position with the arabs that not everyone has and the arabs won't unify unless the Quraish...So IttaquAllah"

They all ended up pledging allegiance to AbuBakr.

-He starts off as a backstyle leader to the front by telling to give Bay'ah (allegience) to him or Ibn Ubaydah. But Ubaydah gave Bay'ah to AbuBakr

-Rasuallah (saw) said "I advise you to treat the people of Egypt with Goodness"
-People of Yemen: If you want to know about real Iman and Fiqh.

Back-Style Leader: Does Shura, Asks his people what they think etc.
Result if you overdo it: Frustrations cause no order, no decisions are being made since you'll constantly be asking what they think instead of asking and taking action.

Front-Style Leader: Tough.

-The Prophet's Last Words: "O Allah, with the supreme communion"

-Last public place Rasuallah (saw) was seen looking at the congregation
-He kissed AbuBakr on his forehead and said "You are blessed in life and in death"
-After the Prophet's death, AbuBakr said: Whoever worships Mohammed, let them know he is head. Whoever worships Allah, let him know he his alive and will be forever"

-Rasuallah was making a Khutbah and mentioned that a slave had chosen the hereafter. AbuBakr started crying. He was the only one who understood that Rasuallah was saying he's going to die.

Criteria when choosing a leader (Khalifah)

1) People with Alumni status, experienced with dawah and what they've done in the path of Allah (swt),
2) Looked for Prophet's position with the leader.
3) Majority of the Ummah agreeing and listening.

-Not all of the Ansaar were in agreement that an Ansar should be a leader.
-Still insisted to do Shura even though they were told to just settle the affair between them. But they insisted to include the Ansar.
