This is not correct.
1.(Sahib Al-Bukhari) Umar said,
إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ بَيْعَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلْتَةً وَتَمَّتْ أَلاَ وَإِنَّهَا قَدْ كَانَتْ كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ وَقَى شَرَّهَا
'The pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was given suddenly and then ended. No doubt, it was like that, but Allah saved (the people) from its evil'2.(Sahih Al-Bukhari) Umar siad,
وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ مِنْ خَبَرِنَا حِينَ تَوَفَّى اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ أَنَّ الأَنْصَارَ خَالَفُونَا وَاجْتَمَعُوا بِأَسْرِهِمْ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ، وَخَالَفَ عَنَّا عَلِيٌّ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُمَا،
'And no doubt after the death of the Prophet (S) we were informed that the Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of Bani Sa`da. `Ali and Zubair and whoever was with them, opposed us.'3.فقالت الأنصار أو بعض الأنصار : لا نبايع إلا عليا. So, all of Ansar or a group of them said, ' we give the pledge of allegiance only to Ali '
Al-Kamil fi Al-Tarikh by Ibn Athir, V.2, P.325.
Tarikh Al-Tabari, V.2, P.443.
4. (Sahih Al-Bukhari) Aesha said that at the time of the selection of Abu Bakr:
خَوَّفَ عُمَرُ النَّاسَ وَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ لَنِفَاقًا
'Umar frightened the people, and indeed there were hypocrisy in them.'5.Lady Fatima never gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr and passed away while she was angry from Abu Bakr.
Bukhari has narrated in his book, Sahih al-Bukhari,
"Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger(s) got angry and stopped speaking to Abu Bakr, and continued assuming that attitude till she died."
The first one who mentioned this issue, was Ibn Kathir( Al-Bidaya wa Al-Nihaya, V.5, P.122 ). He siad the issue 764 years after the event of Qadir Khom! Before him, there was not anything about this issue.
Anyway, according to Sunni authentic books( see Sira of Ibn Hisham, Tarikh At-Tabari), Imam Ali went to Mecca sooner than his soldiers, because of the order of Rasulallah(sawaws). So, the soldiers who were from Sahaba, used the Qana'im without the leave of Prophet or Imam Ali. So, when they arrived to Mecca, Imam Ali saw them using Qana'im which were indeed Beytul Mal( the using from Beytul Mal and Qana'im of war is possible after the order of the master of the soldiers and Rasulallah ). Then Imam Ali(a.s.) said to them that they should stop their doing untill the order of Rasulullah(sawaws). So, the soldiers complained from Imam Ali in the present of the Prophet. So Prophet said to them, أيها الناس ، لا تشكوا عليا ، فوالله إنه لأخشن في ذات الله ، أو في سبيل الله ، من أن يشكى( O people, do not complain from Ali, because by Allah, he is serious in the religion of Allah, and in the way of Allah, so the complaint from him is not worthy ).
Then, this issue ended totally, and Prophet began the doing of Hajj and then learned Sahaba the Hajj Manasik and Sonan.
Then, Prophet at least 4 or 5 times declared sermons in Arafa, Mina, by the mosqe of Khaif, .... that there were not only one thing about that issue in them.
So, after Hajj ended, the Prophet and Sahaba prepared to return to their cities. When they reached to Qadir Khom, a place which the ways of the people seprate from each other, Prophet ordered Sahaba to gather in Qadir place and then they did Salat. After Salat, Prophet declared the sermon of Qadir and he said in it,
My demise time is getting close and I am going to leave you while I will leave you two precious things which one is more merit than the other, theholy Book of Allah the Almighty and my Progeny, my Ahl Al-Bayt. If you adhere to them both, you will never go astray after me. Beware how do you want to treat them and these two never separate from one anotheruntil eventually they came to me beside the pond of Kothar[ in Hearafter ]'.
Then the holy Prophet of GOD stated that; 'Allah the Almighty is my supervisor and I am Wali supervisor of the whole believers,' and then he took the hand of Ali and stated that, 'whoever I am his supervisor then this Ali is his supervisor, O my Lord, love those that love Ali and be enemy with whoever is his enemy.'
You can not find only a weak Hadith which says that Prophet only a bit refered to the issue of Imam Ali and Sahaba.
The sayings of Prophet that his demise time is being close, and he is leaving two precious which do not seprate from each other until Qiyama, two precious things that we must follow them, and also his saying that Allah is his supervisor and he, himself is supervisor of whole believerse, and immediatly taking hand of Imam Ali and saying that whoever Prophet is his supervisor, so Ali is his supervisor, clearly prove that this issue is exactly about leadership of Ummah.
Also, note the congratulation of Umar to Imam Ali. After Khotba of Qadir, Umar said to Imam Ali, ' O son of Abi Talib. Congratulations, from now you are the supervisor of every faithful man and woman.'(Musnad Ahmad, V.4, P.281)[فَلَقِيَهُ عُمَرُ بَعْدَ ذلك فقال له هنياء يا بن أبي طَالِبٍ أَصْبَحْتَ وَأَمْسَيْتَ مولي كل مُؤْمِنٍ وَمُؤْمِنَةٍ.] Albani and Mulla Ali Al-Ghari has said the Hadith is Sahih.
In the narratins, there are many ones which the term 'Wali' is mentioned. Anyway, Mawla or Wali, in Sahih Muslim and Sahih Ibn Habban and another book, the term Wali is used by Umar in due to mentioning the Khilapha of Prophet.
Umar said,
لما توفى رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال أبو بكر: أنا ولى رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم، . . . ، ثم توفى أبو بكر و أنا ولى رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم.
'When the Messenger of Allah passed away, Abu Bakr siad, ' I am Wali[ supervisor ] of Messenger of Allah(saws)'... then Abu Bakr died, while I am Wali[ supervisor ] of Messenger of Allah(saws')'Sources,
1. Sahih Muslim, Arabic, English.
2.Sahih Ibn Habban(with the research of Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut«شعيب الأرنؤوط»), v14, p577. The researcher of the book who is a Muti'assib Wahhabi scholar has said that the narration is Sahih.
3.Albani, another Wahhabi scholar also has narrated this narration in his book and has said that it is Sahih(التعليقات الحسان علي صحيح إبن حبان ، ج9 ، ص319 ـ 320, At-Ta'liqatulHisan 'Ala Sahihi 'Ibn Habban, v9, p319-320).
