[Tzqowwyt]

Asalamalikum, a while back I read on the forum that bay'ah is not wajib and it is sunnah.

Can I please get evidence that the sahaba practiced it? as well as the salaf? not the science, but giving bay'ah to the respected shaykh himself.
JazkaAllah

You can also read this chapter on Bay'ah from the book, Shari'ah and Tariqah. from page 99.
