Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32593 — Reports on talk about rulers

Salim said: When allegiance was being taken from the people for Yazid bin Mu'awiyah, Marwan stood up and said: This is the exemplary way of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) stood up and said: This is not the way of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). He left aside his own family and the people of his tribe, and he saw that a man of Banu Adi bin Ka'b was the most qualified for this matter, and pledged allegiance at his hand.
