Narrated by Aisha:

“Once Fatima came walking and her gait resembled the gait of the Prophet .

The Prophet said,

‘Welcome, O my daughter!’

Then he made her sit on his right or on his left side, and then he told her a secret and she started weeping.

I asked her,

‘Why are you weeping?’

He again told her a secret and she started laughing.

I said,

‘I never saw happiness so near to sadness as I saw today.’

I asked her what the Prophet had told her.

She said,

‘I would never disclose the secret of the Prophet.

When the Prophet died, I asked her about it.

She replied:

‘The Prophet said:

‘Every year Gabriel used to revise the Quran with me once only, but this year he has done so twice. I think this portends my death, and you will be the first of my family to follow.’

So I started weeping.

Then he said.

‘Don’t you like to be the leader of all the women of Paradise or the leader of all the lady believers?’

So for that I laughed’.”

Narrated by Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:

“I heard the Prophet who was on the pulpit, saying,

‘Banu Hisham bin Al-Mughira have requested me to allow them to marry their daughter to Ali bin Abu Talib, but I don’t give permission, and will not give permission unless Ali bin Abi Talib divorces my daughter in order to marry their daughter, because Fatima is a part of my body, and I hate what she hates to see, and what hurts her, hurts me’.”

Narrated by Aisha:

“Fatima the daughter of the Prophet sent someone to Abu Bakr (when he was a caliph), asking for her inheritance of what the Prophet had left of the property bestowed on him by Allah from the Fai in Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus of the Khaibar booty.

On that, Abu Bakr said,

The Prophet said, ‘Our property is not inherited. Whatever we leave, is Sadaqa, but the family of (the Prophet) Muhammad can eat of this property.’ By Allah, I will not make any change in the state of the Sadaqa of the Prophet and will leave it as it was during the lifetime of the Prophet, and will dispose of it as the Prophet used to do.

So Abu Bakr refused to give anything of that to Fatima. So she became angry with Abu Bakr and kept away from him, and did not speak 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.

When Fatima was alive, the people used to respect Ali much, but after her death, Ali noticed a change in the people’s attitude towards him. So Ali sought reconciliation with Abu Bakr and gave him an oath of allegiance. Ali had not given the oath of allegiance during those months (i.e. the period between the Prophet’s death and Fatima’s death).

Ali sent someone to Abu Bakr saying, ‘Come to us, but let nobody come with you,’ as he disliked that Umar should come.

Umar said (to Abu Bakr), ‘No, by Allah, you shall not enter upon them alone.’

Abu Bakr said, ‘What do you think they will do to me? By Allah, I will go to them.’

So Abu Bakr entered upon them, and then Ali uttered Tashah-hud and said (to Abu Bakr), ‘We know well your preference and what Allah has given you, and we are not jealous of the good that Allah has bestowed upon you, but you did not consult us in the question of the rule and we thought that we have got a right in it because of our near relationship to the Prophet.’

Thereupon Abu Bakr’s eyes flowed with tears. And when Abu Bakr spoke, he said, ‘By Him in Whose Hand my soul is to keep good relations with the relatives of the Prophet is dearer to me than to keep good relations with my own relatives. But as for the trouble which arose between me and you about his property, I will do my best to spend it according to what is good, and will not leave any rule or regulation which I saw the Prophet following, in disposing of it, but I will follow.’

On that Ali said to Abu Bakr, ‘I promise to give you the oath of allegiance in this after noon.’

So when Abu Bakr had offered the Zuhr prayer, he ascended the pulpit and uttered the Tashah-hud and then mentioned the story of Ali and his failure to give the oath of allegiance, and excused him, accepting what excuses he had offered.

Then Ali (got up) and praying (to Allah) for forgiveness, he uttered Tashah-hud, praised Abu Bakr’s right, and said, that he had not done what he had done because of jealousy of Abu Bakr or as a protest of that Allah had favored him with. Ali added, ‘But we used to consider that we too had some right in this affair (of rulership) and that he (i.e. Abu Bakr) did not consult us in this matter, and therefore caused us to feel sorry.’

On that all the Muslims became happy and said, ‘You have done the right thing.’

The Muslims then became friendly with Ali as he returned to what the people had done (i.e. giving the oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr).”

6726

Narrated by Aisha:

“Fatima and Al Abbas came to Abu Bakr, seeking their share from the property of the Prophet and at that time, they were asking for their land at Fadak and their share from Khaibar.

Abu Bakr said to them,

I have heard from the Prophet saying, ‘Our property cannot be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in charity’, but the family of Muhammad may take their provisions from this property.

Abu Bakr added,

‘By Allah, I will not leave the procedure I saw the Prophet following during his lifetime concerning this property.’

Therefore Fatima left Abu Bakr and did not speak to him till she died.”
