Desire scientific answer to the query rather than ordinary, I have some confusion in my mind.
Dear RG friend,
Never. The abstract should concern only your work.
Usually not done, but it may be dependent on particular case that is type of work or your abstract, journal or conference format/rules. Adding reference is seen sometimes in abstract and conclusion part of published articles and conference papers. So, I think the exact solution may be obtain by asking, discussing with and following RR of the concern authority.

I want to write an abstract for the work, can I use citations of other authors in abstract text?

Dear S. T. Kale,
My recommendation is to follow manuscript preparation guidelines of the journal or templates than individual comments. Here, I want to share a standard manuscript preparation guidelines from IEEE, in which they clearly mentioned abstract must be 'without references'.
So, a reputed journal or publisher always has a standard manuscript preparation guidelines, otherwise you may follow that best suites for you or expert opinion, as IEEE. Thanks

Very rarely. When you really think that the citation needs to be inserted for validating some of your novel result or finding then you may but generally avoided.
The short answer is No. Most of the journals explicitly ask the contributing authors to avoid citing other authors in the abstract.

Normally not....but in some cases one can....

Usually it is better to avoid citing references in your abstract. You can refer the same in introduction part.
