Bay'ah

Bayʿah (Arabic: بَيْعَة, "Pledge of allegiance"), in Islamic terminology, is an oath of allegiance to a leader. It is known to have been practiced by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Bayʿah is sometimes taken under a written pact given on behalf of the subjects by leading members of the tribe with the understanding that as long as the leader abides by certain requirements towards his people, they are to maintain their allegiance to him.

Ameerul Mo'mineen Ali (AS) never gave Bay'ah (Alegiance) to any wrongdoer. He never attended Jum'a nor Jama'ah with the three "Caliphs" as it is confirmed by leading Sunni scholar Al-Dhahabi in Siyar A'lam Al-Nobalaa' , V. 9, Page 284

Ameerul Mo'mineen supported and helped the Muslim Ummah against the enemies, but he never supported the Caliphs. Al-Shaqshaqiyyah sermon explains what he did and why and what the three Caliphs befor him did.

Bay'ah . Usul al-Kafi . Imam Ali Zayn al-Abidin

Is it true that the Imam Zayn al-'Abidin (AS) pledged allegiance to Yazid and that it is mentioned in Usul-al-Kafi?

No, it is untrue. Imam Zainul Abudeen (AS) never pledged allegiance to Yazid or any wrongdoer. None of our Infallible Imams pledged allegiance to any wrongdoer.

Wassalam.
