Suwaid bin Ghaflah relates, that the women who came to visit Fatemah (s.a.), related her message to their husbands and men. A group from among the chiefs of the Emigrants and Ansar came to her for an apology and said, "O Mistress of the womenfolk of the world ! If Ali (a.s.) had presented himself earlier for the Leadership, we would have pledged allegiance to him and would not have turned to anyone else. But Abu Bakr took the lead and we swore allegiance to him". Fatemah (s.a.) replied, "Get away from me, there is no other excuse for you. And after transgression and negligence there remains no place for apology".
