4823 - Muhammad ibn Ubayd Allah ibn al-Fadl al-Kallai narrated to us in Homs, saying: Amr ibn Uthman ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from my father, from Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamzah, from al-Zuhri, who said: Urwah ibn al-Zubair told me that Aisha informed him that Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), sent a message to Abu Bakr asking him for her inheritance from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) from what Allah had bestowed upon His Messenger. At that time, Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) was seeking the charity of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) in Medina, which included Fadak and what remained of the one-fifth from Khaybar. Aisha said: Abu Bakr replied, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, 'We do not inherit what we leave behind. It is a charity. The family of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) only eats from this wealth; they are not allowed to have more than sustenance.' By Allah, I will not change anything from the charities of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) from the state it was in during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and I will act in it as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) acted." Thus, Abu Bakr refused to give Fatimah anything from it, and Fatimah felt wronged by Abu Bakr because of this, so she stopped speaking to him until she passed away, living for six months after the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). When she died, Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) buried her at night and did not inform Abu Bakr, and Ali prayed over her. Ali had the attention of the people while Fatimah was alive, but when she (may Allah be pleased with her) died, the people's attention turned away from Ali, and they began to ignore him, which caused Ali to feel despondent. In that state, Ali turned to reconciling with Abu Bakr and giving his allegiance, although he had not pledged allegiance during those months. He sent a message to Abu Bakr, asking him to come to them without anyone accompanying him. Ali disliked the idea of them being accompanied by Umar, knowing how strict Umar was with them. Umar said to Abu Bakr, "By Allah, you will not enter upon them alone." Abu Bakr replied, "What could they possibly do to me? By Allah, I will go to them." So Abu Bakr entered, and Ali stood and made a testimony of faith (shahadah). He then said, "We recognize, O Abu Bakr, your virtue and what Allah has granted you, and we did not envy you the good that Allah has bestowed upon you. However, you have taken it upon yourself in matters, and we believed we had a right." He mentioned their kinship to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and their rightful claim. He continued to speak until tears streamed down Abu Bakr's eyes. When Abu Bakr spoke, he said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, the kinship of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) is more beloved to me than my own kinship. As for what transpired between me and you regarding these charities, I did not intend anything but good in it, and I would not leave anything in it that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) doing, except that I would do the same." Ali said, "Your appointment is this evening for the pledge of allegiance." When Abu Bakr prayed the noon prayer, he ascended the pulpit, made a testimony of faith, and mentioned the matter of Ali and his delay in giving allegiance, explaining his excuse. Then he sought forgiveness and made a testimony of faith, honoring the right of Abu Bakr. He mentioned that what he did was not out of envy of Abu Bakr or denial of his virtue, which Allah had bestowed upon him, but we believed we had a share in the matter, and you acted unilaterally. We felt this in our hearts." The Muslims were pleased with this, and they said to Ali, "You have acted rightly." The Muslims were close to Ali when he addressed the matter, calling for what is proper.

Chapter on the Illness of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) - Mention of a Report That May Mislead Those Not Deeply Versed in the Craft of Knowledge into Thinking It Contradicts the Report of Zur, Which We Mentioned
Volume: (14) - Page Number: (573)
6607 - Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Yazid ibn Muwahhib narrated to us, saying: al-Layth ibn Sa'd narrated to me, from Aqil ibn Khalid, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Aisha, that she informed him: Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), sent a message to Abu Bakr asking him for her inheritance from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) of what Allah had given as a spoils to His Messenger in Medina, and from Fadak, and what remained of the fifth of Khaybar. Abu Bakr said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, "We do not inherit what we leave behind; it is charity. The family of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) only eats from this wealth." And I swear by Allah, I will not change anything of the charity of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) from the state it was in during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and I will act in it according to what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) did." So Abu Bakr refused to give Fatimah anything from it, and Fatimah felt aggrieved with Abu Bakr over this and expressed her discontent, not speaking to him until she died six months after the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). When she passed away, her husband, Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) buried her at night and did not inform Abu Bakr, allowing him to pray over her. Ali had a standing among the people during the lifetime of Fatimah. When Fatimah died, the expressions of the people changed, and they sought to reconcile with Abu Bakr and pledge allegiance to him, although he had not pledged allegiance during those months. He sent a message to Abu Bakr, saying: "Come to us, but do not bring anyone with you," fearing that Umar ibn al-Khattab would be present. Umar ibn al-Khattab said to Abu Bakr: "By Allah, you will not enter upon them alone." Abu Bakr replied: "What can they do to me? By Allah, I will go to them." So Abu Bakr entered upon them. Ali ibn Abi Talib stood and testified, saying: "We acknowledge, O Abu Bakr, your virtue and what Allah has granted you, and we do not deny the good that Allah has bestowed upon you. However, you have acted independently in matters of authority over us, and we believed we had a right due to our kinship with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)." He continued to speak to Abu Bakr until tears filled Abu Bakr's eyes. When Abu Bakr spoke, he said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, the relatives of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) are dearer to me than I restore my own family and relatives." As for what transpired between me and you regarding these matters, I have not failed to act for good in it, nor have I left any action I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) perform in it except that I will perform it." Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) said to Abu Bakr: "Your appointment is this evening for the pledge of allegiance." When Abu Bakr prayed the noon prayer, he ascended the pulpit, bore witness, and then mentioned the situation of Ali ibn Abi Talib and his hesitation to pledge allegiance, excusing him for what he had been apprehensive about, and then he sought forgiveness. Ali ibn Abi Talib also bore witness, magnifying the right of Abu Bakr and his sanctity, and that nothing had prompted him to act as he did out of rivalry with Abu Bakr or denial of the favor Allah had bestowed upon him. Rather, we believed we had a share in this matter, and you acted independently, which caused us to feel a sense of unease. The Muslims were pleased with this, saying: "You have succeeded," and the Muslims were closer to Ali when he began to address the matter with what is good.
