Everybody came out of the house except Imam ‘Ali (as),who said:"I have sworn to remain home until I collect the Qur’an.”Umar refused but Lady Fatimah’s remonstration caused him to return. He instigated Abu Bakr to pursue the matter,and he send Qunfuz (his slave) several times (1)

Abu bakar demanded confirmation of the oath, but ‘Ali and al-Zubair stayed away. Al-Zubair drew his sword (from the scabbard), saying, "I will not put it back until the oath of allegiance is rendered to ‘Ali.”When this news reached Abu Bakr and Umar, the latter said.....

"Hit him with a stone and seize the sword”It is stated that Umar rushed(to the door of the House of Fatimah)and brought them forcibly while telling them that they must give their oath of allegiance willingly or unwillingly.
