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 Apostle used to do, because I am afraid that

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

to the ruler.” (Az-Zuhrl said, “They have been managed in this way till today.”)
