Sayyida Fatima (as)'s response to the confiscation of Fadak

The Khutbah of Sayyida Fatima (as)

We read in Ahl'ul Sunnah's authority work Sharh ibn al Hadeed Volume 4 page 108, printed Beirut:

"When Sayyida Fatima found out that Abu Bakr had an intention to confiscate Fadak, She wrapped a
cloth around her head, gathered some women from her tribe and went to Abu Bakr. At that time the
Muhajireen and Ansar were summoned, a Pardah was made between Fatima and the Sahaba. The
daughter of the Prophet sad in a distressed manner, that lead to the Sahaba crying. She after a break
praised Allah, sent Salaam on her father the Prophet and said all things on the earth and sky seeks a
Waseela to Allah, the Waseela for the people to reach Allah (swt) are us, and Allah's select people
amongst creations are us, and then she introduced herself. I am Fatima the daughter of Rasul and said
'That which was bestowed to me has been taken, O Abu Bakr, if you are the inheritor of your father, and I
am not my father's inheritor you adopted a wrong means. Then she said to the Muhajireen and Ansar
requesting help, O Bani Queela the inheritance of my father has been annexed from me, before your very
eyes. You are listening to my words why are you lax with regards to helping me? Why do you not support
my right?

Abu Bakr's denial of Khums and Fadak incurred the anger of Sayyida Fatima (as)

We read in Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 53, Number 325:

Narrated 'Ayesha: (mother of the believers) After the death of Allah 's Apostle Fatima the daughter of
Allah's Apostle asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of inheritance from what Allah's Apostle
had left of the Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting) which Allah had given him. Abu Bakr said to her,
"Allah's Apostle said, 'Our property will not be inherited, whatever we (i.e. prophets) leave is Sadaqah (to
be used for charity)." Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle got angry and stopped speaking to Abu
Bakr, and continued assuming that attitude till she died. Fatima remained alive for six months after the
death of Allah's Apostle.
crush the opposition. In Sahih al-Bukhari the following has also been
narrated by Aisha:

Fatimah the daughter of the Prophet sent someone to Abu Bakr (when he
was a caliph), asking for her inheritance of what Allah's Apostle had
left of the property bestowed on him by Allah from the Fai (i.e. booty
gained without fighting) in Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of
the Khumus of the Khaibar booty. ...but Abu Bakr refused to give
anything of that to Fatimah. So she became angry with Abu Bakr and
kept away from him, and did not task to him till she died. She
remained alive for six months after the death of the Prophet. When she
died, her husband 'Ali, buried her at night without informing Abu Bakr
and he said the funeral prayer by himself.

Now either Fatimah was liar or Abu Bakr treated her unjustly. If she was
liar, then she did not deserve such a saying from the Prophet that Fatimah
is a part of me and whoever angers her, angers me. This itself is a clear
indication of her infallibility. The purification sentence of the Holy
Quran (the last sentence of verse 33:33) is another indication of her
infallibility, as Aisha herself testified (See Sahih Muslim, 1980 Edition,
Arabic, v4, p1883, Tradition #61). Hence there is nothing left for the
sensible people but to accept the fact that she was unjustly treated, and
that she was easy to be branded as a liar by Umar who was willing to let
her burn unless the remaining people in her house come out to vote for Abu
Bakr.
beauty shined in the heavens of Messengership and became full on the horizon of exaltation of the moon
of her perfection, the dawns of thoughts reached towards her and the sights of the chosen longed to
observe her beauty; so the masters of the Muhajerin and Ansar asked to many her, but the one who was
bestowed with Allah's satisfaction (the Prophet (S) rejected them and said: `I am waiting for Allah's
ordinance in her regard."'

Abu Bakr and Umar were among those who asked to marry Fatima, but the Prophet (S) rejected
them too, and said that she was still too young for marriage. Abdurrahman Ibn Awf also asked for her
hand, but the Prophet (S) ignored him.

Ali Ibn Muragi reported in his book Kanz al-Umal v.2 p.99, that Anas Ibn Malik said:
"Abu Bakr came to see the Prophet (S). After sitting down he said:

`O Messenger of Allah, you surely know of my devotion and long standing service to Islam...'

The Prophet then said: `What is it that you want?'

Abu Bakr then said: `I want you to give me Fatima in marriage.'

When the Prophet heard this, he did not say anything, so Abu Bakr returned to Umar and said:

`I have ruined myself and others!!'

Umar said: `What happened?'

Abu Bakr replied: `I asked for Fatima's hand from the Prophet, but he ignored me.'

Umar said: `You stay here, and I will go ask the Prophet for the same thing that you asked him for.'

Umar went to the Prophet and after sitting down started saying:

`O Messenger of Allah, you surely know of my devotion and long standing service to Islam...'

The Prophet (S) then said: `What is it that you want?'

Umar replied: `I want you to give me Fatima in marriage.'

But the Prophet (S) ignored him too.

Umar returned to Abu Bakr and said: `He is waiting for Allah's command in her regard
