It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that after the blessed passing of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Fatimah al-Zahra (may Allah be pleased with her) requested Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) to distribute the inheritance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the spoils of war. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said to her that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Inheritance is not established in our wealth; whatever we leave behind is charity." Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) felt some burden in her heart about this, so she stopped speaking to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this matter, and this continued until the death of Hazrat Fatimah al-Zahra (may Allah be pleased with her). It should be noted that Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) lived only six months after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In fact, Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) was demanding the inheritance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the lands of Khyber and Fadak, and she also wanted to receive her share from the charities of Madinah. Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) apologized for fulfilling this demand and said that just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do things, I cannot leave them, rather I will act in the same way as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, because I fear that if I leave any action or way of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I will go astray. Later, Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) entrusted the management of the charities of Madinah to Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), in which Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) prevailed over Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), while the lands of Khyber and Fadak were kept under the administration of the caliph by Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said that these are the charity of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and their use is for emergent rights and difficult circumstances, and their responsibility will be borne by whoever is the caliph. That is why this is their situation to this day.
