Fatima and Al ʿAbbas came to Abu Bakr, seeking their share from the property of Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ following during his lifetime concerning this property." Therefore Fatima left Abu Bakr and did not speak to him till she died.  

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ وَالْعَبَّاسَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ أَتَيَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَلْتَمِسَانِ مِيرَاثَهُمَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُمَا حِينَئِذٍ يَطْلُبَانِ أَرْضَيْهِمَا مِنْ فَدَكَ وَسَهْمَهُمَا مِنْ خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَدَعُ أَمْرًا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُهُ فِيهِ إِلاَّ صَنَعْتُهُ قَالَ فَهَجَرَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ فَلَمْ تُكَلِّمْهُ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Our (Apostles') property should not be inherited, and whatever we leave, is to be spent in charity."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ  

'I went and entered upon ʿUmar, his doorman, Yarfa came saying ʿUthman, ʿAbdur-Rahman, Az- Zubair and Saʿd are asking your permission (to see you). May I admit them? ʿUmar said, 'Yes.' So he admitted them Then he came again and said, 'May I admit ʿAli and ʿAbbas?' He said, 'Yes.' ʿAbbas said, 'O, chief of the believers! Judge between me and this man (Ali ). ʿUmar said, 'I beseech you by Allah by Whose permission both the heaven and the earth exist, do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Our (the Apostles') property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave (after our death) is to be spent in charity?' And by that Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant himself.' The group said, '(No doubt), he said so.' ʿUmar then faced ʿAli and ʿAbbas and said, 'Do you both know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that?' They replied, '(No doubt), he said so.' ʿUmar said, 'So let me talk to you about this matter. Allah favored His Apostle with something of this Fai' (i.e. booty won by the Muslims at war without fighting) which He did not give to anybody else; Allah said:-- 'And what Allah gave to His Apostle ( Fai' Booty) .........to do all things....(59.6) And so that property was only for Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Yet, by Allah, he neither gathered that property for himself nor withheld it from you, but he gave its income to you, and distributed it among you till there remained the present property out of which the Prophet ﷺ used to spend the yearly maintenance for his family, and whatever used to remain, he used to spend it where Allah's property is spent (i.e. in charity etc.). Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed that throughout his life. Now I beseech you by Allah, do you know all that?' They said, 'Yes.' ʿUmar then said to ʿAli and ʿAbbas, 'I beseech you by Allah, do you know that?' Both of them said, 'Yes.' ʿUmar added, 'And when the Prophet ﷺ died, Abu Bakr said, ' I am the successor of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and took charge of that property and managed it in the same way as Messenger of Allah ﷺ did. Then I took charge of this property for two years during which I managed it as Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr did. Then you both (ʿAli and ʿAbbas) came to talk to me, bearing the same claim and presenting the same case. (O ʿAbbas!) You came to me asking for your share from the property of your nephew, and this man (Ali) came to me, asking for the share of h is wife from the property of her father. I said, 'If you both wish, I will give that to you on that condition (i.e. that you would follow the way of the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr and as I (ʿUmar) have done in man aging it).' Now both of you seek of me a verdict other than that? Lo! By Allah, by Whose permission both the heaven and the earth exist, I will not give any verdict other than that till the Hour is established. If you are unable to manage it, then return it to me, and I will be sufficient to manage it on your behalf.' "

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Not even a single Dinar of my property should be distributed (after my deaths to my inheritors, but whatever I leave excluding the provision for my wives and my servants, should be spent in charity."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَقْتَسِمُ وَرَثَتِي دِينَارًا مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدَ نَفَقَةِ نِسَائِي وَمُؤْنَةِ عَامِلِي فَهْوَ صَدَقَةٌ  

ʿAisha said, "When Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, his wives intended to send ʿUthman to Abu Bakr asking him for their share of the inheritance." Then ʿAisha said to them, "Didn't Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Our (Apostles') property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in charity?'"  

أَنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَدْنَ أَنْ يَبْعَثْنَ عُثْمَانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ يَسْأَلْنَهُ مِيرَاثَهُنَّ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَلَيْسَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ
