It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyida Fatima, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), sent a message to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) demanding that the wealth which Allah had given to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah, and her share from Fadak and from the fifth of Khaybar, be given to her as inheritance. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our property is not inherited; whatever we leave behind is charity in the way of Allah. However, the family of Muhammad may eat from this wealth." By Allah! I will not make any change in these charities from the way they were during the blessed life of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I will use them in the same manner as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used them. Thus, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) refused to give anything from them to Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her), because of which Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) became displeased with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul! The relatives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) are dearer to me than my own relatives, but regarding the situation that has arisen between me and you because of these properties, I have not fallen short in acting upon the truth and honesty, and I have not left anything from what I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do in this matter; rather, I have carried out every action just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did."
