Ali paid allegiance to Abu Bakar [Evidences from Shia books]

Eminant shia historian and scholar Tabrisi in his book Ihtijaj Tabrisi page #52 writes that Hz. Ali[ra] got up and took the pledge on the hand of Hz. Abu Bakr[ra], further in the same book page #56 he writes, Hz. Osama[ra] asked Hz. Ali if he took the pledge and Hz. Ali[ra] replied yes I did as it was a rightfull pledge for the Khilafa.
