It is reported by Zuhri that this tradition was narrated to him by Malik b. Aus who said: Umar b. al-Khattab sent for me and I came to him when the day had advanced. I found him in his house sitting on his bare bed-stead, reclining on a leather pillow. He said (to me): Malik, some people of your tribe have hastened to me (with a request for help). I have ordered a little money for them. Take it and distribute it among them. I said: I wish you had ordered somebody else to do this job. He said: Malik, take it (and do what you have been told). At this moment (his man-servant) Yarfa' came in and said: Commander of the Faithful, what do you say about Uthman, Abd al-Rabman b. 'Auf, Zubair and Sa'd (who have come to seek an audience with you)? He said: Yes, and permitted them. so they entered. Then he (Yarfa') came again and said: What do you say about 'Ali and Abbas (who are present at the door)? He said: Yes, and permitted them to enter. Abbas said: Commander of the Faithful, decide (the dispute) between me and this sinful, treacherous, dishonest liar. The people (who were present) also said: Yes. Commander of the Faithful, do decide (the dispute) and have mercy on them. Malik b. Aus said: I could well imagine that they had sent them in advance for this purpose (by 'Ali and Abbas). 'Umar said: Wait and be patient. I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heavens and the earth are sustained, don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: We (prophets) do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity ? They said: Yes. Then he turned to Abbas and 'Ali and said: I adjure you both by Allah by Whose order the heavens and earth are sustained, don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: We do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity ? They (too) said: Yes. (Then) Umar said: Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, had done to His Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) a special favour that He has not done to anyone else except him. He quoted the Qur'anic verse: What Allah has bestowed upon His Apostle from (the properties) of the people of township is for Allah and His Messenger . The narrator said: I do not know whether he also recited the previous verse or not. Umar continued: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) distrbuted among you the properties abandoned by Banu Nadir. By Allah, he never preferred himself over you and never appropriated anything to your exclusion. (After a fair distribution in this way) this property was left over. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) would meet from its income his annual expenditure, and what remained would be deposited in the Bait-ul-Mal. (Continuing further) he said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heavens and the earth are sustained. Do you know this? They said: Yes. Then he adjured Abbas and 'All as he had adjured the other persons and asked: Do you both know this? They said: Yes. He said: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) passed away, Abu Bakr said: I am the successor of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). Both of you came to demand your shares from the property (left behind by the Messenger of Allah). (Referring to Hadrat 'Abbas), he said: You demanded your share from the property of your nephew, and he (referring to 'Ali) demanded a share on behalf of his wife from the property of her father. Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) had said: We do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity. So both of you thought him to be a liar, sinful, treacherous and dishonest. And Allah knows that he was true, virtuous, well-guided and a follower of truth. When Abu Bakr passed away and (I have become) the successor of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him), you thought me to be a liar, sinful, treacherous and dishonest. And Allah knows that I am true, virtuous, well-guided and a follower of truth. I became the guardian of this property. Then you as well as he came to me. Both of you have come and your purpose is identical. You said: Entrust the property to us. I said: If you wish that I should entrust it to you, it will be on the condition that both of you will undertake to abide by a pledge made with Allah that you will use it in the same way as the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) used it. So both of you got it. He said: Wasn't it like this? They said: Yes. He said: Then you have (again) come to me with the request that I should adjudge between you. No, by Allah. I will not give any other judgment except this until the arrival of the Doomsday. If you are unable to hold the property on this condition, return it to me.

وحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَنَّ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ، حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَجِئْتُهُ حِينَ تَعَالَى النَّهَارُ، قَالَ: فَوَجَدْتُهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ جَالِسًا عَلَى سَرِيرٍ مُفْضِيًا إِلَى رُمَالِهِ، مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ، فَقَالَ لِي: يَا مَالُ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ دَفَّ أَهْلُ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ، وَقَدْ أَمَرْتُ فِيهِمْ بِرَضْخٍ، فَخُذْهُ فَاقْسِمْهُ بَيْنَهُمْ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَوْ أَمَرْتَ بِهَذَا غَيْرِي، قَالَ: خُذْهُ يَا مَالُ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ يَرْفَا، فَقَالَ: هَلْ لَكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي عُثْمَانَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، وَالزُّبَيْرِ، وَسَعْدٍ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: نَعَمْ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا، ثُمَّ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ لَكَ فِي عَبَّاسٍ، وَعَلِيٍّ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمَا، فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، اقْضِ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ هَذَا الْكَاذِبِ الْآثِمِ الْغَادِرِ الْخَائِنِ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ: أَجَلْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَاقْضِ بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَرِحْهُمْ [ص:1378]، فَقَالَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ: يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كَانُوا قَدَّمُوهُمْ لِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: اتَّئِدَا، أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ، أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ»، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْعَبَّاسِ، وَعَلِيٍّ، فَقَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمَا بِاللهِ الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ، أَتَعْلَمَانِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَاهُ صَدَقَةٌ»، قَالَا: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ اللهَ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ كَانَ خَصَّ رَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخَاصَّةٍ، لَمْ يُخَصِّصْ بِهَا أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُ، قَالَ: {مَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى فَلِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ} [الحشر: 7]- مَا أَدْرِي هَلْ قَرَأَ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا أَمْ لَا - قَالَ: فَقَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَكُمْ أَمْوَالَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ، فَوَاللهِ، مَا اسْتَأْثَرَ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَلَا أَخَذَهَا دُونَكُمْ، حَتَّى بَقِيَ هَذَا الْمَالُ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ نَفَقَةَ سَنَةٍ، ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُ مَا بَقِيَ أُسْوَةَ الْمَالِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ، أَتَعْلَمُونَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، ثُمَّ نَشَدَ عَبَّاسًا، وَعَلِيًّا، بِمِثْلِ مَا نَشَدَ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ، أَتَعْلَمَانِ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَنَا وَلِيُّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجِئْتُمَا تَطْلُبُ مِيرَاثَكَ مِنِ ابْنِ أَخِيكَ، وَيَطْلُبُ هَذَا مِيرَاثَ امْرَأَتِهِ مِنْ أَبِيهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَاهُ صَدَقَةٌ»، فَرَأَيْتُمَاهُ كَاذِبًا آثِمًا غَادِرًا خَائِنًا، وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُ لَصَادِقٌ بَارٌّ رَاشِدٌ تَابِعٌ لِلْحَقِّ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَنَا وَلِيُّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَوَلِيُّ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَرَأَيْتُمَانِي كَاذِبًا آثِمًا غَادِرًا خَائِنًا، وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنِّي لَصَادِقٌ بَارٌّ رَاشِدٌ تَابِعٌ لِلْحَقِّ، فَوَلِيتُهَا ثُمَّ جِئْتَنِي أَنْتَ وَهَذَا وَأَنْتُمَا جَمِيعٌ وَأَمْرُكُمَا وَاحِدٌ، فَقُلْتُمَا: ادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْنَا، فَقُلْتُ: إِنْ شِئْتُمْ دَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْكُمَا عَلَى أَنَّ عَلَيْكُمَا عَهْدَ اللهِ أَنْ تَعْمَلَا فِيهَا بِالَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخَذْتُمَاهَا بِذَلِكَ، قَالَ: أَكَذَلِكَ؟ قَالَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ جِئْتُمَانِي لِأَقْضِيَ بَيْنَكُمَا، وَلَا وَاللهِ لَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمَا بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ، فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمَا عَنْهَا فَرُدَّاهَا إِلَيَّ

امام مالک نے زہری سے روایت کی کہ انہیں مالک بن اوس نے حدیث بیان کی ، انہوں نے کہا : حضرت عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ عنہ نے میری طرف قاصد بھیجا ، دن چڑھ چکا تھا کہ میں ان کے پاس پہنچا ۔ کہا : میں نے ان کو ان کے گھر میں اپنی چارپائی پر بیٹھے ہوئے پایا ، انہوں نے اپنا جسم کھجور سے بنے ہوئے بان کے ساتھ لگایا ہوا تھا اور چمڑے کے تکیے سے ٹیک لگائی ہوئی تھی ، تو انہوں نے مجھ سے کہا : اے مال ( مالک ) ! تمہاری قوم میں سے کچھ خاندان لپکتے ہوئے آئے تھے تو میں نے ان کے لیے تھوڑا سا عطیہ دینے کا حکم دیا ہے ، اسے لو اور ان میں تقسیم کر دو ۔ کہا : میں نے کہا : اگر آپ میرے سوا کسی اور کو اس کا حکم دے دیں ( تو کیسا رہے؟ ) انہوں نے کہا : اے مال! تم لے لو ۔ کہا : ( اتنے میں ان کے مولیٰ ) یرفا ان کے پاس آئے اور کہنے لگے : امیر المومنین! کیا آپ کو عثمان ، عبدالرحمان بن عوف ، زبیر اور سعد رضی اللہ عنہم ( کے ساتھ ملنے ) میں دلچسپی ہے؟ انہوں نے کہا : ہاں ۔ تو اس نے ان کو اجازت دی ۔ وہ اندر آ گئے ، وہ پھر آیا اور کہنے لگا : کیا آپ کو عباس اور علی رضی اللہ عنہما ( کے ساتھ ملنے ) میں دلچسپی ہے؟ انہوں نے کہا : ہاں ۔ تو اس نے ان دونوں کو بھی اجازت دے دی ۔ تو عباس رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : امیر المومنین! میرے اور اس جھوٹے ، گناہ گار ، عہد شکن اور خائن کے درمیان فیصلہ کر دیں ۔ کہا : اس پر ان لوگوں نے کہا : ہاں ، امیر المومنین! ان کے درمیان فیصلہ کر کے ان کو ( جھگڑے کے عذاب سے ) راحت دلا دیں ۔ ۔ مالک بن اوس نے کہا : میرا خیال ہے کہ انہوں نے ان لوگوں کو اسی غرض سے اپنے آگے بھیجا تھا ۔ ۔ تو حضرت عمر رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : تم دونوں رکو ، میں تمہیں اس اللہ کی قسم دیتا ہوں جس کے حکم سے آسمان اور زمین قائم ہیں! کیا تم جانتے ہو کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا تھا : " ہمارا کوئی وارث نہیں بنے گا ، ہم جو چھوڑیں گے وہ صدقہ ہو گا " ؟ ان سب نے کہا : ہاں ۔ پھر وہ حضرت عباس اور علی رضی اللہ عنہما کی طرف متوجہ ہوئے اور کہا : میں تم دونوں کو اس اللہ کی قسم دیتا ہوں جس کے حکم سے آسمان اور زمین قائم ہیں! کیا تم دونوں جانتے ہو کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا تھا : " تمہارا کوئی وارث نہیں ہو گا ، ہم جو کچھ چھوڑیں گے ، صدقہ ہو گا " ؟ ان دونوں نے کہا : ہاں ۔ تو حضرت عمر رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : بلاشبہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے اپنے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو ایک خاص چیز عطا کی تھی جو اس نے آپ کے علاوہ کسی کے لیے مخصوص نہیں کی تھی ، اس نے فرمایا ہے : " جو کچھ بھی اللہ نے ان بستیوں والوں کی طرف سے اپنے رسول پر لوٹایا وہ اللہ کا اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا ہے " ۔ ۔ مجھے پتہ نہیں کہ انہوں نے اس سے پہلے والی آیت بھی پڑھی یا نہیں ۔ ۔ انہوں نے کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے بنونضیر کے اموال تم سب میں تقسیم کر دیے ، اللہ کی قسم! آپ نے ( اپنی ذات کو ) تم پر ترجیح نہیں دی اور نہ تمہیں چھوڑ کر وہ مال لیا ، حتی کہ یہ مال باقی بچ گیا ہے ، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اس سے اپنے سال بھر کا خرچ لیتے ، پھر جو باقی بچ جاتا اسے ( بیت المال کے ) مال کے مطابق ( عام لوگوں کے فائدے کے لیے ) استعمال کرتے ۔ انہوں نے پھر کہا : میں تمہیں اس اللہ کی قسم دیتا ہوں جس کے حکم سے آسمان اور زمین قائم ہیں! کیا تم یہ بات جانتے ہو؟ انہوں نے کہا : ہاں ۔ پھر انہوں نے عباس اور علی رضی اللہ عنہ کو وہی قسم دی جو باقی لوگوں کو دی تھی ( اور کہا ) : کیا تم دونوں یہ بات جانتے ہو؟ انہوں نے کہا : جی ہاں ۔ پھر کہا : جب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فوت ہوئے تو حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا جانشیں ہوں تو آپ دونوں آئے ، آپ اپنے بھتیجے کی وراثت مانگ رہے تھے اور یہ اپنی بیوی کی ان کے والد کی طرف سے وراثت مانگ رہے تھے ۔ تو حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا تھا : " ہمارا کوئی وارث نہیں ہو گا ، ہم جو چھوڑیں گے ، صدقہ ہے ۔ " تو تم نے انہیں جھوٹا ، گناہ گار ، عہد شکن اور خائن خیال کیا تھا اور اللہ جانتا ہے وہ سچے ، نیکوکار ، راست رَو اور حق کے پیروکار تھے ۔ پھر ابوبکر رضی اللہ عنہ فوت ہوئے اور میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور ابوبکر رضی اللہ عنہ کا جانشیں بنا تو تم نے مجھے جھوٹا ، گناہ گار ، عہد شکن اور خائن خیال کیا اور اللہ جانتا ہے کہ میں سچا ، نیکوکار ، راست رَو اور حق کی پیروی کرنے والا ہوں ، میں اس کا منتظم بنا ، پھر تم اور یہ میرے پاس آئے ، تم دونوں اکٹھے ہو اور تمہارا معاملہ بھی ایک ہے ۔ تم نے کہا : یہ ( اموال ) ہمارے سپرد کر دو ۔ میں نے کہا : اگر تم چاہو تو میں اس شرط پر یہ تم دونوں کے حوالے کر دیتا ہوں کہ تم دونوں پر اللہ کے عہد کی پاسداری لازمی ہو گی ، تم بھی اس میں وہی کرو گے جو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کرتے تھے تو تم نے اس شرط پر اسے لے لیا ۔ انہوں نے پوچھا : کیا ایسا ہی ہے؟ ان دونوں نے جواب دیا ۔ ہاں ۔ انہوں نے کہا : پھر تم ( اب ) دونوں میرے پاس آئے ہو کہ میں تم دونوں کے درمیان فیصلہ کروں ۔ نہیں ، اللہ کی قسم! میں قیامت کے قائم ہونے تک تمہارے درمیان اس کے سوا اور فیصلہ نہیں کروں گا ۔ اگر تم اس کے انتظام سے عاجز ہو تو وہ مال مجھے واپس کر دو

sahih-muslim-4578

The same hadith has been narrated by a different chain of transmitters with a slight variation in wording: 'Umar b. al-Khattab sent for me and said: Some families from your tribe have come to me (then follows the foregoing hadith) by Malik with the difference that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) would spend on his family for a year. And sometimes Ma'mar said: He would retain sustenance for his family for a year, and what was left of that he spent in the cause of Allah, the Majestic and Exalted.

sahih-muslim-4579

It is narrated on the authority of 'A'isha who said: When the Messenger of Allah (?) passed away, his wives made up their minds to send 'Uthman b. 'Affan (as their spokesman) to Abu Bakr to demand from him their share from the legacy of the Prophet (?). (At this), A'isha said to them: Hasn't the Messenger of Allah (?) said: We (Prophets) do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity ?

sahih-muslim-4580

It is narrated on the authority of Urwa b. Zubair who narrated from A'isha that she informed him that Fatima, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (?), sent someone to Abu Bakr to demand from him her share of the legacy left by the Messenger of Allah (?) from what Allah had bestowed upon him at Medina and Fadak and what was left from one-filth of the income (annually received) from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said: The Messenger of Allah (?) said: We (prophets) do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity. The household of the Messenger of Allah (?) will live on the income from these properties, but, by Allah, I will not change the charity of the Messenger of Allah (?) from the condition in which it was in his own time. I will do the same with it as the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upun him) himself used to do. So Abu Bakr refused to hand over anything from it to Fatima who got angry with Abu Bakr for this reason. She forsook him and did not talk to him until the end of her life. She lived for six months after the death of the Messenger of Allah (?). When she died, her husband. 'Ali b. Abu Talib, buried her at night. He did not inform Abu Bakr about her death and offered the funeral prayer over her himself. During the lifetime of Fatima, 'All received (special) regard from the people. After she had died, he felt estrangement in the faces of the people towards him. So he sought to make peace with Abu Bakr and offer his allegiance to him. He had not yet owed allegiance to him as Caliph during these months. He sent a person to Abu Bakr requesting him to visit him unaccompanied by anyone (disapproving the presence of Umar). 'Umar said to Abu Bakr: BY Allah, you will not visit them alone. Abu Bakr said: What will they do to me? By Allah, I will visit them. And he did pay them a visit alone. 'All recited Tashahhud (as it is done in the beginning of a religious sermon) ; then said: We recognise your moral excellence and what Allah has bestowed upon you. We do not envy the favour (i. e. the Catiphate) which Allah nas conferred upon you; but you have done it (assumed the position of Caliph) alone (without consulting us), and we thought we had a right (to be consulted) on account of our kinship with the Messenger of Allah (?). He continued to talk to Abu Bakr (in this vein) until the latter's eyes welled up with tears. Then Abd Bakr spoke and said: By Allah, in Whose Hand is my life, the kinship of the Messenger of Allah (?) is dearer to me than the kinship of my own people. As regards the dispute that has arisen between you and me about these properties, I have not deviated from the right course and I have not given up doing about them what the Messenger of Allah (?) used to do. So 'Ali said to Abu Bakr: This aftetnoon is (fixed) for (swearing) allegiance (to you). So when Abu Bakr had finished his Zuhr prayer, he ascended the pulpit and recited Tashahhud, and described the status of 'Ali, his delay in swearing allegiance and the excuse which lie had offered to him (for this delay). (After this) he asked for God's forgiveness. Then 'Ali b. Abu Talib recited the Tashahhud. extolled the merits of Abu Bakr and (said that) his action was nott prompted by any jealousy of Abu Bakr on his part or his refusal to accept the high position which Allah had conferred upon him, (adding: ) But we were of the opinion that we should have a share in the government, but the matter had been decided without taking us into confidence, and this displeased us. (Hence the delay in offering allegiance. The Muslims were pleased with this (explanation) and they said: You have done the right thing. The Muslims were (again) favourably inclined to 'Ali since he adopted the proper course of action

sahih-muslim-4581

It has been narrated on the authority of 'A'isha that Fatima and 'Abbas approached Abu Bakr, soliciting transfer of the legacy of the Messenger of Allah (?) to them. At that time, they were demanding his (Holy Prophet's) lands at Fadak and his share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said to them: I have heard from the Messenger of Allah (?). Then he quoted the hadith having nearly the same meaning as the one which has been narrated by Uqail on the authority of al-Zuhri (and which his gone before) except that in his version he said: Then 'Ali stood up, extolled the merits of Abu Bakr mentioned his superiority, and his earlier acceptance of Islam. Then he walked to Abu Bakr and swore allegiance to him. (At this) people turned towards 'Ali and said: you have done the right thing. And they became favourably inclined to 'Ali after he had adopted the proper course of action.

sahih-muslim-4582

Report Error | Share It has been narrated by 'Urwa b Zubair on the authority of 'A'isha, wife of the Prophet (?), that Fatima, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (?), requested Abu Bakr, after the death of the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him), that he should set apart her share from what the Messenger of Allah (?) had left from the properties that God had bestowed upon him. Abu Bakr said to her: The Messenger of Allah (?) 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 (?) and she used to demand from Abu Bakr her share from the legacy of the Messenger of Allah (?) 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 (?) 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 (?) (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.

sahih-muslim-4583

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (?) said: My heirs cannot share even a dinar (from my legacy) ; what I leave behind after paving maintenance allowance to my wives and remuneration to my manager is (to go in) charity.
