The Reciter: And Ibn Numayr narrated to us, saying: Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us. And Zuhayr ibn Harb and al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Hullawani narrated to us, saying: Ya'qub, who is Ibn Ibrahim, narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, from Salih, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Urwah ibn al-Zubayr informed me that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), informed him:
Narrated `Aisha: (mother of the believers) After the death of Allah 's Apostle Fatima the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of inheritance from what Allah's Messenger (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 Allah's Messenger (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 Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). She used to ask Abu Bakr for her share from the property of Allah's Messenger (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 Allah's Messenger (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) `Umar gave the Prophet's property (of Sadaqa) at Medina to `Ali and `Abbas, 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.")
أن فاطمة بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سألت أبا بكر بعد وفاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يقسم لها ميراثها، مما ترك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مما أفاء الله عليه، فقال لها أبو بكر : إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : لا نورث ما تركنا صدقة ، قال : وعاشت بعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ستة أشهر، وكانت فاطمة تسأل أبا بكر نصيبها مما ترك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من خيبر، وفدك، وصدقته بالمدينة، فأبى أبو بكر عليها ذلك، وقال : لست تاركا شيئا كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعمل به، إلا عملت به، إني أخشى إن تركت شيئا من أمره أن أزيغ، فأما صدقته بالمدينة، فدفعها عمر إلى علي، وعباس، فغلبه عليها علي، وأما خيبر وفدك، فأمسكهما عمر، وقال : هما صدقة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كانتا لحقوقه التي تعروه، ونوائبه، وأمرهما إلى من ولي الأمر، قال : فهما على ذلك إلى اليوم .
