(mother of the believers) After the death of Allah 's Apostle Fatima the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of inheritance from what Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 Sadaqa (to be used for charity)." Fatima, the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She used to ask Abu Bakr for her share from the property of Messenger of Allah ﷺ which he left at Khaibar, and Fadak, and his property at Medina (devoted for charity). Abu Bakr refused to give her that property and said, "I will not leave anything Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do, because I am afraid that if I left something from the Prophet's tradition, then I would go astray." (Later on) ʿUmar gave the Prophet's property (of Sadaqa) at Medina to ʿAli and ʿAbbas, but he withheld the properties of Khaibar and Fadak in his custody and said, "These two properties are the Sadaqa which Allah's Apostle used to use for his expenditures and urgent needs. Now their management is to be entrusted to the ruler." (Az-Zuhri said, "They have been managed in this way till today.")

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَأَلَتْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَقْسِمَ لَهَا مِيرَاثَهَا مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ فَغَضِبَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهَجَرَتْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ مُهَاجِرَتَهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَتْ وَعَاشَتْ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَتْ وَكَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَسْأَلُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ نَصِيبَهَا مِمَّا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ وَفَدَكٍ وَصَدَقَتِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَيْهَا ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ لَسْتُ تَارِكًا شَيْئًا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِلاَّ عَمِلْتُ بِهِ فَإِنِّي أَخْشَى إِنْ تَرَكْتُ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ أَزِيغَ فَأَمَّا صَدَقَتُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَدَفَعَهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَعَبَّاسٍ فَأَمَّا خَيْبَرُ وَفَدَكٌ فَأَمْسَكَهَا عُمَرُ وَقَالَ هُمَا صَدَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَتَا لِحُقُوقِهِ الَّتِي تَعْرُوهُ وَنَوَائِبِهِ وَأَمْرُهُمَا إِلَى مَنْ وَلِيَ الأَمْرَ قَالَ فَهُمَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ اعْتَرَاكَ افْتَعَلْتَ مِنْ عَرَوْتُهُ فَأَصَبْتُهُ وَمِنْهُ يَعْرُوهُ وَاعْتَرَانِي

Fatima sent somebody to Abu Bakr asking him to give her her inheritance from the Prophet ﷺ from what Allah had given to His Apostle through Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting). She asked for the Sadaqa (i.e. wealth assigned for charitable purposes) of the Prophet ﷺ at Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus (i.e., one-fifth) of the Khaibar booty. Abu Bakr said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'We (Prophets), our property is not inherited, and whatever we leave is Sadaqa, but Muhammad's Family can eat from this property, i.e. Allah's property, but they have no right to take more than the food they need.' By Allah! I will not bring any change in dealing with the Sadaqa of the Prophet (and will keep them) as they used to be observed in his (i.e. the Prophet's) life-time, and I will dispose with it as Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do," Then 'Ali said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle," and added, "O Abu Bakr! We acknowledge your superiority." Then he (i.e. 'Ali) mentioned their own relationship to Allah's Apostle and their right. Abu Bakr then spoke saying, "By Allah in Whose Hands my life is. I love to do good to the relatives of Allah's Apostle rather than to my own relatives"

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ تَطْلُبُ صَدَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الَّتِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَفَدَكٍ وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ خُمُسِ خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا فَهْوَ صَدَقَةٌ إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ يَعْنِي مَالَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَزِيدُوا عَلَى الْمَأْكَلِ وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُغَيِّرُ شَيْئًا مِنْ صَدَقَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهَا فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلأَعْمَلَنَّ فِيهَا بِمَا عَمِلَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتَشَهَّدَ عَلِيٌّ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَضِيلَتَكَ وَذَكَرَ قَرَابَتَهُمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحَقَّهُمْ فَتَكَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَرَابَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ أَصِلَ مِنْ قَرَابَتِي

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:" We do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is Sadaqa (charity)." The narrator said: She (Fatima) lived six months after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she used to demand from Abu Bakr her share from the legacy of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Khaibar, Fadak and his charitable endowments at Medina. Abu Bakr refused to give her this, and said: I am not going to give up doing anything which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do. I am afraid that it I go against his instructions in any matter I shall deviate from the right course. So far as the charitable endowments at Medina were concerned, 'Umar handed them over to 'Ali and Abbas, but 'Ali got the better of him (and kept the property under his exclusive possession). And as far as Khaibar and Fadak were concerned 'Umar kept them with him, and said: These are the endowments of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (to the Umma). Their income was spent on the discharge of the responsibilities that devolved upon him on the emergencies he had to meet. And their management was to be in the hands of one who managed the affairs (of the Islamic State). The narrator said: They have been managed as such up to this day.

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَأَلَتْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَقْسِمَ لَهَا مِيرَاثَهَا مِمَّا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ وَعَاشَتْ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَكَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَسْأَلُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ نَصِيبَهَا مِمَّا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ وَفَدَكٍ وَصَدَقَتِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَيْهَا ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ لَسْتُ تَارِكًا شَيْئًا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِلاَّ عَمِلْتُ بِهِ إِنِّي أَخْشَى إِنْ تَرَكْتُ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ أَزِيغَ فَأَمَّا صَدَقَتُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَدَفَعَهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَعَبَّاسٍ فَغَلَبَهُ عَلَيْهَا عَلِيٌّ وَأَمَّا خَيْبَرُ وَفَدَكُ فَأَمْسَكَهُمَا عُمَرُ وَقَالَ هُمَا صَدَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَتَا لِحُقُوقِهِ الَّتِي تَعْرُوهُ وَنَوَائِبِهِ وَأَمْرُهُمَا إِلَى مَنْ وَلِيَ الأَمْرَ قَالَ فَهُمَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ

Fatimah daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a messenger to Abu Bakr demanding from him in inheritance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ. I shall deal with it as the Messenger of Allah dealt with it. Abu Bakr, therefore, refused to give anything to Fatimah from it.

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَفَدَكَ وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ خُمُسِ خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُغَيِّرُ شَيئًا مِنْ صَدَقَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ حَالِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلأَعْمَلَنَّ فِيهَا بِمَا عَمِلَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا

"I was with the Prophet ﷺ when this Ayah was revealed to him: Whoever works evil will have the recompense of it (4:123). So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Abu Bakr! Shall I recite to you an Ayah revealed to me?' I said: 'Of course O Messenger of Allah!' So he recited it to me, and I do not know except that I found it as a fatal blow, but I repressed it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What is bothering you O Abu Bakr?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! May my father and my mother be your ransom! Which of us has not done evil - and yet we shall be recompensed for what we have done?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'As for you O Abu Bakr, and the believers, they will be recompensed for that in the world until they meet Allah and they have no sins. As for the others, then that will be collected for them until they are recompensed for it on the Day of Judgement.'"

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ( مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ وَلاَ يَجِدْ لَهُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلاَ نَصِيرًا ) فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلاَ أُقْرِئُكَ آيَةً أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَىَّ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَقْرَأَنِيهَا فَلاَ أَعْلَمُ إِلاَّ أَنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ وَجَدْتُ انْقِصَامًا فِي ظَهْرِي فَتَمَطَّأْتُ لَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا شَأْنُكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي وَأَيُّنَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا وَإِنَّا لَمَجْزِيُّونَ بِمَا عَمِلْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَتُجْزَوْنَ بِذَلِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبٌ وَأَمَّا الآخَرُونَ فَيُجْمَعُ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يُجْزَوْا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Our (Prophets') property is not to be inherited and whatever we leave behind is charity.ʿ Fatimah got angry and kept away from Abu Bakr and she continued to do so until she died. Fatimah lived for six months after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and she used to ask Abu Bakr for her share of that which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had left behind of Khaibar and Fadak, and his charitable endowments in Madinah, but Abu Bakr refused to give her that. He said: I will not stop doing something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do; rather I will continue to do it. I am afraid that if I give up something that he did, I will go astray. As for his charitable endowment in Madinah, 'Umar gave it to 'Ali and 'Abbas, but ‘Ali took most of it. As for Khaibar and Fadak, 'Umar kept them and said: They are the charitable endowment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and were spent on his responsibilities and on emergencies. They were to be cared for by whoever became caliph, and this remains the case until today.

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلَتْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺأَنْ يَقْسِمَ لَهَا مِيرَاثَهَا مِمَّا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ فَغَضِبَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلامُ فَهَجَرَتْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ مُهَاجِرَتَهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَتْ قَالَ وَعَاشَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍقَالَ وَكَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَسْأَلُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ نَصِيبَهَا مِمَّا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ وَفَدَكَ وَصَدَقَتِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَيْهَا ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ لَسْتُ تَارِكًا شَيْئًا كَانَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِلَّا عَمِلْتُ بِهِ إِنِّي أَخْشَى إِنْ تَرَكْتُ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ أَزِيغَفَأَمَّا صَدَقَتُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَدَفَعَهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَعَبَّاسٍ فَغَلَبَهُ عَلَيْهَا عَلِيٌّ وَأَمَّا خَيْبَرُ وَفَدَكُ فَأَمْسَكَهُمَا عُمَرُ وَقَالَ هُمَا صَدَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَتَا لِحُقُوقِهِ الَّتِي تَعْرُوهُ وَنَوَائِبِهِ وَأَمْرُهُمَا إِلَى مَنْ وَلِيَ الْأَمْرَ قَالَ فَهُمَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ

Fatimah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent word to Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq, asking for her inheritance from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, of the faiʿ that Allah had granted to him in Madinah and Fadak, and what was left of the khurnus of Khaibar, Abu Bakr said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWe (Prophets) are not to be inherited from and whatever we leave behind is charity. Rather the family of Muhammad may take their provision from this wealth.ʿ By Allah, I will not change any of the charity of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from how it was at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I will do the same with it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did. So Abu Bakr refused to give anything of it to Fatimah, and Fatimah was upset with Abu Bakr because of that. Abu Bakr said; By the One in Whose hand is my soul, the relatives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are dearer to me than my own relatives. As for the dispute between me and you concerning this wealth, I did not deviate from the truth concerning them and I will not leave anything that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do but I will do it the way he did it.

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَفَدَكَ وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ خُمُسِ خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي هَذَا الْمَالِ وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ لَا أُغَيِّرُ شَيْئًا مِنْ صَدَقَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ حَالِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهَافِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَأَعْمَلَنَّ فِيهَا بِمَا عَمِلَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺفَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَوَجَدَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي ذَلِكَ وقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَرَابَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَصِلَ مِنْ قَرَابَتِي وَأَمَّا الَّذِي شَجَرَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَمْوَالِ فَإِنِّي لَمْ آلُ فِيهَا عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَلَمْ أَتْرُكْ أَمْرًا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا صَنَعْتُهُ

[AI] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when this verse was revealed: "Whoever does evil will be repaid for it and will not find besides Allah any protector or helper." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Bakr, shall I not recite to you a verse that has been sent down to me?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then he recited it to me, and I only know that I felt a breaking in my back, so I stretched myself because of it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is the matter with you, O Abu Bakr?" I said, "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah, which of us has not done something evil? We will surely be repaid for what we have done?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for you, O Abu Bakr, and your believing companions, you are repaid for that in this world until you meet Allah with no sins upon you. As for the others, that is gathered up for them until they are repaid for it on the Day of Resurrection." Abu Bakr said: We do not know this hadith to be narrated from Abu Bakr from the Prophet ﷺ except through this route. As for this mawla of Ibn Sibaa, we do not know anyone who named him. We only mentioned him because it is not narrated from Abu Bakr except through this route, and we have clarified its defect. Musa ibn Ubayda is a devout man, good in worship, but he is not strong in memorization, and I think that what kept him from preserving hadith was the extent of his devotion to worship.

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ وَفَاطِمَةُ حِينَئِذٍ تَطْلُبُ صَدَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الَّتِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَفَدَكٍ وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ خُمُسِ خَيْبَرَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ؛ إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ يَعْنِي مَالَ اللهِ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَزِيدُوا عَلَى الْمَأْكَلِ وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ لَا أُغَيِّرُ صَدَقَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ حَالِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَأَعْمَلَنَّ فِيهَا بِمَا عَمِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهَا فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَوَجَدَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَرَابَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ أَنْ أَصِلَ مِنْ قَرَابَتِي فَأَمَّا الَّذِي شَجَرَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَاتِ فَإِنِّي لَا آلُو فِيهَا عَنِ الْخَيْرِ وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَتْرُكَ فِيهَا أَمْرًا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا صَنَعْتُهُ

Fatimah daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a messenger to Abu Bakr demanding from him in inheritance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ. I shall deal with it as the Messenger of Allah dealt with it. Abu Bakr, therefore, refused to give anything to Fatimah from it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2968)

"عَنْ عَائشَةَ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِى بَكْر تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ الله عَلَى رَسُولِهِ، وَفَاطِمَة حِينَئِذٍ تَطْلُبُ صَدَقَةَ النَّبِى ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَفَدَكَ وَمَا بَقىَ مِن خُمُسِ خَيْبَرَ، فَقَالْ أَبو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ: لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَاهُ صَدَقةٌ، إِنَّمَا يَأكُلُ آلُ مُحمدٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ - يَعْنِى مَالَ الله - لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَزِيدُوا عَلَى الْمَأَكَلِ، وَإِنَّى والله لَا أُغَيِّرُ صَدَقَاتِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ عَنْ حَاِلهَا الَّتِى كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِى عَهْدِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ ، وَلأَعْمَلَنَّ فِيهَا بِمَا عَمِلَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ فِيهَا، فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا، فَوَجَدَتْ فَاطمَةُ عَلَى أَبِى بَكْر مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: والَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ لَقَرَابَةُ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلىَّ أَنْ أَصِلَ مِنْ قَرابَتِى، فَأمَّا الَّذِى شَجَرَ

بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّدقَاتِ فَإِنِّى (لا آلو) فِيهَا عَنِ الْحَقِّ، وَإِنِّى لَمْ أَكُنْ لأَتْرُكَ فِيهَا أَمْرًا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يَصْنَعُهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا صَنَعْتُهُ".

"عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَان اليومُ الَّذِى تُوُفَّى فِيهِ رسولُ الله ﷺ ، بُويعَ لأَبِى بَكْرٍ في ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ، فلمَّا كانَ مِنَ الغَدِ، جَاءتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَى أَبى بَكْرٍ معها علىٌّ فقالت: ميراثى من رَسول الله أبي، فقال أبو بكر: أَمِنَ الرِّثَّة أَوْ مِنَ العُقْد؟ قالتْ: فَدَك، وخَيْبَر وصَدقَاتهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرثُهَا كَمَا تَرِثُكَ بَنَاتُكَ إِذَا مِتَّ، فقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَبوكِ والله خَيرٌ مِنَّى، وَأَنْتِ وَالله خَيرٌ مِنْ بنَاتِى، وقدْ قالَ رسولُ الله ﷺ : "لَا نورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَاه صَدَقَةٌ" - يَعْنِى هذه الأَمْوَالَ القائِمَة - فَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ أَباكِ أَعطَاكِهَا؟ فوالله لَئِنْ قُلْتِ نَعمْ لأَقْبَلَنَّ قَوْلَكِ ولأُصَدِّقَنَّكِ، قالَتْ: جاءتْنِى أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَأخبَرَتْنِى أَنَّهُ أَعْطانِى فَدَك، قالَ عُمَرُ: أَفَسَمِعْتِهِ يقولُ: هِىَ لَكِ؟ فَإِذَا قُلتِ: قدْ سَمِعْتُهُ؛ فَهِى لَكِ، فَأَنَا أُصَدِّقُكِ وأَقْبلُ قَوْلَكِ، قالَتْ: قَدْ أَخبَرْتُكَ مَا عِنْدِى".

"عَنِ ابن عمر، عن أبى بكر قال: كنت عند رسول الله ﷺ فَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذهِ الآيةُ: {مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ وَلَا يَجِدْ لَهُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا} فَقَال رسُولُ الله ﷺ : "يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ! أَلا أُقْرِئُكَ آيَةً نَزَلَتْ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ الله فَأَقْرَأَنِيهَا، فَلَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا أَنِّى وَجَدْتُ فِى ظَهْرِى انْقِصَاما، فَتَمطَّأتُ لَهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : مَا شَأنُكَ يَا أبَا بَكْرٍ؟ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! بِأَبِى وَأُمِّى وَأيُّنَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ سوءًا؟ وَإِنَّا لَمُجْزَوْنَ بِمَا عَمِلْنَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : "أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَالْمُؤمِنُونَ فَيُجْزَوْنَ بِذَلِكَ فِى الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَلْقَوُا الله وَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبٌ، وَأَمَّا الآخَرونَ فَيُجْمَعُ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يُجْزَوْا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ".

"كَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلانِ أَحَدُهُمَا لَا يَكادُ يُفَارِقُهُ لَهُ كَثيرُ عَمَلٍ، وَكَانَ الآخَرُ لَا يَكَادُ يُرَى وَلَا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ كَثيرُ عَمَلٍ، فَقَالَ الَّذِى لَا يُفَارِقُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ : يَا رَسُولَ الله! ذَهَبَ الْمُصَلُّونَ، وَذَهَبَ الصَّائِمُونَ بِأَجْرِ الصَّائِم، وَمَا عِنْدِى إِلَّا حُبُّ الله وَرَسُولِهِ، قَالَ: إِنَّ لَكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ، وَأَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ، وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَمَاتَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فيِ أصْحَابِهِ: هَلْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ الله -تَعَالَى- أَدْخَلَ فُلانًا الْجَنَّةَ؟ فَتَعَجَّبَ الْقَوْمُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَكَادُ يُرَى، فَقَامَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى امْرَأِتِهِ فَسَأَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ، فَقَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ في لَيْلٍ وَلَا نَهَارٍ وَلَا عَلَىَ أَيِّ حَالٍ مَا كَانَ فَقَالَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ: أَشْهَدُ أَن لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله إِلَّا قَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ، أُقِرُّ وَأُكَفِّرُ مَنْ أَبَى ذَلِكَ، وَإِذَا قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ الله، قَالَ مِثْلَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ الرجل: بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ".

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ لا يَكَادُ يُرَى وَلا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ كَثِيرُ عَمَلٍ فَمَاتَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ: هَلْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ اللهَ - تَعَالَى- قَدْ أَدْخَلَ فُلَانًا الْجَنَّةَ؟ فَتَعَجَّبَ الْقَوْمُ إِذَ كَانَ لا يَكَادُ يُرَى، فَقَامَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ فَقَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ رَأَيْتَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ، قَالَ: وَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَتْ: كَانَ لا يَسْمَعُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ فِي لَيْلٍ وَلا نَهَارٍ، وَعَلَى أَيِّ حَالٍ، كَانَ

يَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَن لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، قَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: بِهَذَا أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ، فَجَاءَ حَتَّى كَانَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ يَسْمَعُ الصَّوْتَ، نَادَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَتَيْتَ أَهْلَ فُلانٍ فَسَأَلْتَهُمْ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ؟ فَأَخْبَرُونِي بِكَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ".
