Idan aka ɗaura Khilafah ga wani mutum ta hanyar mubaya'ar waɗanda aka halatta a ɗaura musu, to mubaya'ar sauran jama'a mubaya'a ce ta biyayya ba mubaya'ar ɗaurawa ba; saboda haka, duk wanda aka gani yana da yuwuwar tayar da kai, ana tilasta masa ya ba da mubaya'a.

If the Khilafah is contracted to an individual by the pledge of those it is valid to be contracted with, the pledge of the remainder of the people is a pledge upon obedience and not a pledge of contracting; and so, any one who is seen to have the potential of rebellion is forced to give the pledge.

Dalilin haka shi ne abin da ya faru a mubaya'ar Khulafa'i huɗu, domin hakan ijma'i ne na sahabbai. A mubaya'ar Abu Bakr (ra), ahlul-hal wal-'aqd na Madina kawai sun isa, haka kuma ya kasance a mubaya'ar Umar (ra). A mubaya'ar 'Uthman (ra) kuwa ya isa a ji ra'ayin Musulmi a Madina, a karɓi mubaya'a daga gare su. A mubaya'ar Ali (ra) kuma, mubaya'ar mafi yawan mutanen Madina da Kufa ta isa. Duk wannan yana nuna cewa ba wajibi ba ne dukkan Musulmi su yi mubaya'a domin a kafa Khilafah; abin isarwa shi ne mubaya'ar mafi yawan wakilansu. Sauran kuwa, idan suka yi mubaya'a, to mubaya'arsu tana kan biyayya.

The evidence for this is what happened in the pledge of the four Khulafaa’, because it was an Ijma’ of the companions. In the pledge of Abu Bakr (ra), the people of power and influence (Ahl Al-Hal wal-‘Aqd) of Madinah alone were sufficient, and that was the case in the pledge of Umar (ra), and in the pledge of ‘Uthman (ra) it was enough to take the opinion of the Muslims in Madinah, and take the pledge from them, and in the pledge of Ali (ra) the pledge of the majority of the people of Madinah and Kufa was enough. All of this indicates that it is not necessary that all the Muslims have to give the pledge in order to contract the Khilafah; rather the pledge of most of their representatives is enough. As for the remainder, then if they gave a pledge their pledge is upon obedience.
