Bayah to Sheikh Ayman Zawahiri
"our blessed Sheikh we would like to show and announce to you that we are a part of you, we are from and for you, we owe to Allah that you are our Rulers, and you have a right from us of hearing and obeying so long as we live, and your reminders and advise is a right on us, as your orders are a duty on us".
His letter was also published by Sheikh Ayman Al Thawahiri in his statement released to prevent bloodshed, the letter was also confirmed by Adnani and this was what Baghdadi and his leaders used to announce to the people, as based on this Julani came to Al Shaam.

Shaykh Abu Sulayman al-Muhajir:
When the news started to spread that the Bay’a of their Shaykh [Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi] to Shaykh Ayman was not full Bay’a, but as they claim it was a Bay’a of “love and support” only; as it was described by their Shari’Abu Bakr al-Qahtani in the terms he defined it and I don’t know what kind of Bay’a he was speaking about.
So we were amazed about this issue, and we told al-Baghdadi about this matter in front of this Shari’[AbuBakr al-Qahtani], and the response of Baghdadi was: “I seek refuge in Allah, I have a true binding Baya’a to Shaykh Ayman, to hear and obey, in hardship and in ease!”
Oh Allah Witness that I heard Shaykh al-Baghdadi saying: “I have a binding Baya’a to Shaykh Ayman al-Zawahari”.
Secondly; concerning the issue of the conflict between Jabhat Al-Nusra and Jamaat al-Dawla and it being referred to ShaykhAyman to judge in it. And I mention here another incident which happened during my first mediation. Al-Baghdadi said to me when we were discussing how to solve the problem:
“If Shaykh Ayman commanded me to assign the issue of Sham to someone else I would do so.” [End of his quote.]
Shaykh Abu Abdullah Al-Shamee:
Oh Allah witness that al-Baghdadi declared that he was satisfied by the judge of Shaykh Ayman, but al-Adnani declared the reverse, oh Allah curse the liar among us and allow one of your proofs to show on him.
“So we (the shura of Jabhat Al-Nusra) halted in obeying him (Sheikh Al-Baghdadi) and decided to refer the matter to Sheikh Al-Zawahiri (may Allah protect him), whereby both parties accept him as a judge and a decider in the matter. In addition to this, the Sheikh (Al-Zawahiri) is the ameer of both of us, so his ruling becomes binding from two aspects… (voice fading)” -Shaykh Abu Abdullah Al-Shamee
Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri said: “And I say seeking help from Allah that the Islamic State in Iraq is a branch of the al-Qaaida organization.” [Testimony
for preserving the blood of the Mujahidin of Sham]
A Shar'i judge of Jabhat al-Nusra, Turki al-Ash'ari (who performed a selfsacrificial attack against the Nusayris and is a man whom many from Jama’at ISIS still praise and respect) said answering a question:
Question: “al-Salaam Alaikum Sheikh. How do I answer those who say that Sheikh Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi did not give Bay’at to Sheikh Ayman alZawahiri? I don't have any evidence for this, if you have any then please share it with us. I love you for the sake of Allah.”
Answer: “wa Alaikum al-Salaam. Say to them: Turki al-Ash'ari says that Abu'Ali al-Hamawi stated to me that Abu 'Ali al-Anbaari said to him that we are al-Qaaida and we have a Bay'at to Ayman al-Zawahiri. Also he (Turki himself) said that Abu Sulayman al-Australi said that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi said that Ayman as-Zawahiri is my Amir/leader. Also Uthman Al-Naazih affirmed this to me. Also, all of the mujahidin that came to Syria from Khuraasaan told me that al-Baghdadi is under the command of Ayman alZawahiri.”

Sheikh Abu Sulayman al-Muhajir (the Australian) who is a member of the main Shar’i council of Jabhat al-Nusra said that he heard al-Baqdadi say
infront of him (Abu Sulayman) and infront of Baqdadi’s Shar’i Abu Bakr alQahtani: “I have a true binding Bay’at to Sheikh Ayman to hear and obey in hardship and in ease.”
And the Sheikh said invoking to Allah in a Mubahala with Adnani which the
latter initiated: “I witnessed of what I saw and knew, if I lied or did a Tadlis (hide a narrator between him and Baqdadi and pretend as if he himself heard the above from Baqdadi while he only heard from someone else who heard from Baqdadi) or mixed the truth with the falsehood in my testimony then place your curse upon the liar and make him a sign to others.”

The top Shar'i leader of Jama’at ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Qahtani admitted in a leaked recording that al-Baghdadi has a Bay'at to Sheikh al-Zawahiri.
In it he says that every Mujahid of Jabhat al-Nusra is obliged to give Bay'at to Jama’at ISIS, and that he personally heard from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi that he swears by Allah that everyone that gives Bay'at to Jama’at ISIS and then Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri decides otherwise, then their Bay'at is dissolved (i.e. the decision would rest with Sheikh al-Zawahiri [this was before al-Qaaida central from Khuraasaan released the statement abolishing ISIS])
(Source: http://d.pr/a/maIb )
He also states that everyone has to follow what Sheikh al-Zawahiri ordered, and whoever doesn't listen to him is a sinning.

The previous Shar’i leader of Jama’at ISIS in Halab (Aleppo), Abu Anas alIraqi also confirmed in a leaked conversation between him and Sheikh Abu Mariya al-Qahtani that Jama’at ISIS is under the command of Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri and the decision lies with him whether Jama’at ISIS should be abolished or not.

The top Shar'i leader of Jabhat al-Nusra, Sheikh Abu Mariya al-Qahtani, confirmed that he has personally heard al-Baghdadi stating while swearing by Allah that he has a Bay'at to Sheikh al-Zawahiri and that al-Baghdadi would not make any decisions without first consulting his leaders in Khuraasaan. And this was in a sitting were Sheikh al-Jawlani and most of the
members of Jama’at ISIS’s council/Shura were all present. Sheikh Abu
Mariya stated that he is willing to make Mubahala in regards to this. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Knoquq5kY )
‘Testimony to
Preserve the Blood of the Mujahidin of Sham’
“After this, a communication representative in the Islamic State of Iraq sent aletter to Sheikh Atiyyah rahimahullah in 20th Jumad al-Thaniyah 1432 saying:
"Our Sheikh (al-Baqdadi) would like to ensure you that the situation here is getting better Alhamdulillah. And he asks what's more appropriate in your eyes with the announcement of the new leader of al-Qaaida (referring to the appointment of Sheikh al-Zawahiri as the new leader after the martyrdom of Sheikh Usama bin Laden). Do we renew the Bay’at in public or in secret as it was understood and done before? And we would like you to know that thebrothers here are arrows in your quiver.” [Testimony for preserving the blood of the Mujahidin of Sham]
Adnani their official spokesman said addressing Sheikh al-Zawahiri: “Verily all of what you quoted in your testimony is Sahih”
[Apologies O Amir of al-Qaaida] and the testimony Adnani is referring to is the “testimony for preserving the blood of the Mujahidin of Sham” wherein which
the Sheikh provided all those written documents out to the open and from it we
have quoted the statement of the communications representative of the
Jama’at al-Dawlat which talked about renewing the Bay’at. So it means Adnani
has testified that the documents and statements provided in the testimony of
Sheikh Ayman to preserve the blood are all Sahih.
