Did Hazrat Ali (R.A) pledge allegiance with the three Khalifas before him?

الاستفتاء

Assalamu Alaikum,
Hope from Allah that you are in good health and may He keep you in good health. The question is whether Hazrat Ali had pledged (Bai'ath) allegience with the previous 3 Khaleefas or no? Please quote references from Qur'an, Hadees and History and reply in both the circumstances.
I asked this because I wanted to have knowledge about this and so far I could not find from anybody. You will be greatly appreciated if you please reply this question.

Yes! it is clearly mentioned in authentic narrations and books of history that Hazrat Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu had pledged allegiance (Bai'at) with the earlier three Khalifas. Furthermore, Hazrat Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu himself narrated about when he pledged allegiance.
See the following references: Takmila 102/6, Tareekhul-Islam (Dhahabi) 641/3,639/3.
Allah knows best.
