Adnani said while addressing Dr. Ayman Al Zawahiri \”You did not ask us on any day nor did your leaders before you\”. However Sheikh Usama bin Laadin in an address to the leaders of the Islamic State of Iraq said \”It would be excellent if you give us adequate information regarding our brother Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi\”. 79

Then Sheikh Abu Abdul Aziz Al Qatari 50 said in a video recording which has been spread in the internet: “Sheikh Al Baghdadi and Sheikh Al Joulani both of them said “we are waiting for the order from Sheikh Dr. Ayman Al Zawahiri, may Allah protect him”. If the order comes saying “oh Sheikh Baghdadi to return to where you were in Islamic State of Iraq”, he (Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi) said “I will listen and obey, and I and my army will go to Iraq”.
Similarly the general Shareeah official of ISIS in Aleppo, Umar Al Qahtani, confessed to that, and he said in an audio recording which is spread in the internet, “If the decision of Sheikh Ayman Al Zawahiri comes, with the text, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi said, “I swear by Allah that everyone who has a Bay’ah to ISIS is bound by the order of Sheikh Ayman Al Zawahiri, and his Bay’ah to ISIS will be invalid”.

Adnani claimed that ISIS is not bound by a pledge of allegiance (Bay’ah) to Al Qaida, and that it is only a relationship of respect, and that Al Qaida intervened in the dispute between Baghdadi and Joulani and supported the one who defected from his leader! And Adnani talked about it separately in the statement entitled “Apology, oh Ameer of Al Qaida” in his response to the statement of Dr. Ayman Al Zawahiri entitled “A testimony to preserve the blood of the Mujahideen in Shaam” in which he (Adnani) denied the subordination of Islamic State to Al Qaida, and that the relationship is only one of respect for the sake of unity of the ranks of Jihad around the world. So was the relationship like that?!
Sheikh Ayman Al Zawahiri has mentioned in his speech “A testimony to preserve the blood of the Mujahideen in Shaam” the text of the messages of the Islamic State of Iraq to Al Qaida which said the following:
“The Sheikh, may Allah protect him, would like to ensure you that the situation here is improving and developing with cohesion, all praise be to Allah. And he is asking what is more appropriate in your view regarding announcing the new leader for the organization – Should the state renew the Bay’ah in public or in secret like how it is known and done before?
” So ponder on the words “the state renew the Bay’ah”, that is, there is a Bay’ah that binds ISIS to Al Qaida, and it is not just a relationship of respect as stated by Adnani.
Then Adnani said in his statement “Apology, oh Ameer of Al Qaida” the following: “Indeed everything that you have mentioned in your testimony is true”. So that is an acknowledgment of the truth of the testimony of Dr. Ayman in which he mentioned the letter of ISIS to Al Qaida and their request to renew the Bay’ah!!
Then Sheikh Dr. Ayman Al Zawahiri mentioned in his letter “Reply to the noble scholars” the wording of Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi’s Bay’ah to Al Qaida, and that is:
“Our blessed Sheikh, we would like to make it clear to you and declare to your Excellency that we are a part of you, and we are from you and belong to you. And we declare to Allah that you are the leader of our affairs, and you have the right to be listened to and obeyed as long as we live, and for is the right to have your advice and your reminders to us. And your orders are binding upon us, but sometimes the matters may require some clarification due to us living amidst the realities around us in our region. So we hope your heart becomes open for listening to our viewpoint, and then you may give your command after that, and we are only arrows in your quiver”.
