Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima and Al-`Abbas came to Abu Bakr, claiming their inheritance of the Prophet's land of Fadak and his share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said, "I heard the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) saying, 'Our property is not inherited, and whatever we leave is to be given in charity. But the family of Muhammad can take their sustenance from this property.' By Allah, I would love to do good to the Kith and kin of Allah's Apostle rather than to my own Kith and kin."
Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima the daughter of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) sent someone to Abu Bakr (when he was a caliph), asking for her inheritance of what Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) 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. On that, Abu Bakr said, "Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) 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 Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) and will leave it as it was during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.), and will dispose of it as Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) 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 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...
Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima and Al `Abbas came to Abu Bakr, seeking their share from the property of Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) 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 Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) 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 Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) following during his lifetime concerning this property." Therefore Fatima left Abu Bakr and did not speak to him till she died.
Ismail Ibn Aban reported to us, Ibn Mubarak from Yunus from al-Zuhri, from Urwah (who said that) Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said, "Our (Apostles') property should not be inherited, and whatever we leave, is to be spent in charity."
It is reported by Zuhri that this tradition was narrated to him by Malik b. Aus who said: ...When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) passed away, Abu Bakr said:" I am the successor of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.)." Both of you came to demand your shares from the property (left behind by the Messenger of Allah). (Referring to Hadrat 'Abbas), he said: You demanded your share from the property of your nephew, and he (referring to 'Ali) demanded a share on behalf of his wife from the property of her father. Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) had said:" We do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity." So both of you thought him to be a liar, sinful, treacherous and dishonest. And Allah knows that he was true, virtuous, well-guided and a follower of truth. When Abu Bakr passed away and (I have become) the successor of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) and Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him), you thought me to be a liar, sinful, treacherous and dishonest. And Allah knows that I am true, virtuous, well-guided and a follower of truth. I became the guardian of this property. Then you as well as he came to me. Both of you have come and your purpose is identical. You said: Entrust the property to us. I said: If you wish that I should entrust it to you, it will be on the condition that both of you will undertake to abide by a pledge made with Allah that you will use it in the same way as the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) used it. So both of you got it. He said: Wasn't it like this? They said: Yes. He said: Then you have (again) come to me with the request that I should adjudge between you. No, by Allah. I will not give any other judgment except this until the arrival of the Doomsday. If you are unable to hold the property on this condition, return it to me.
It is narrated on the authority of Urwa b. Zubair who narrated from A'isha that she informed him that Fatima, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), sent someone to Abu Bakr to demand from him her share of the legacy left by the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) from what Allah had bestowed upon him at Medina and Fadak and what was left from one-filth of the income (annually received) from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said:" We (prophets) do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity." The household of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) will live on the income from these properties, but, by Allah, I will not change the charity of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) from the condition in which it was in his own time. I will do the same with it as the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upun him) himself used to do. So Abu Bakr refused to hand over anything from it to Fatima who got angry with Abu Bakr for this reason. She forsook him and did not talk to him until the end of her life. She lived for six months after the death of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.). When she died, her husband. 'Ali b. Abu Talib, buried her at night. He did not inform Abu Bakr about her death and offered the funeral prayer over her himself...
Narrated 'Aishah, wife of Prophet (s.a.w.a.): Fatimah daughter of Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) sent a messenger to Abu Bakr demanding from him in inheritance of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) from what Allah bestowed on him at Medina and Fadak, and what remained of the fifth of Khaibar. Abu Bakr said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) has said: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah. The family of Muhammad will eat from this property. I swear by Allah I shall not change it from the former condition of its being sadaqah as it was in the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.). I shall deal with it as the Messenger of Allah dealt with it. Abu Bakr, therefore, refused to give anything to Fatimah from it.
