English

[45821 54 – (…) 'Urwah bin Az- Zubair narrated that 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet , told him that Fâtimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah , asked Abü Bakr, after the death of the Messenger of Allah , to give her, her share of inheritance from that which the Messenger of Allah had left behind, of the Fai' that Allah had bestowed upon him. Abü Bakr said to her: The Messenger of Allah said: "We (Prophets) have no heirs and whatever we leave behind is charity." She lived for six months after the Messenger of Allah , and Fâtimah used to ask Abü Bakr for her share of that which the Messenger of Allah had left behind of Khaibar and Fadak, and his endowments in Al- :Jt Madinah, but Abü Bakr refused to give her that. He said: I will not stop doing something that the Messenger of Allah used to L 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 endowment in Al-Madinah, 'Umar gave it to 'All and 'Abbâs, but 'All took most of it. As for Khaibar and Fadak, 'Umar kept them and said: They are the endowment of the Messenger of Allah 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.
