Which Companions of Phophet (s.a.w) didn't accept H.Abu bakr as caliph?

   I am quoting a list of sahabis and companions of prophet Muhammad (SAW) who opposed the caliphate of Abu bakr and sided with Hazrat Ali after the event of Saqifah.

Narrated Ibn Abbass: .....And no doubt after the death of the Prophet we were informed that the Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of Bani Sa'da. 'Ali and Zubair and whoever was with them, opposed us, while the emigrants gathered with Abu Bakr.........
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 82, Hadith 817
