A hadith has been narrated by Salim who learnt it from his father and said:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave us an extra (camel) besides our share of Khums; (and in this extra share) I got a Sharif (and a Sharif is a big old camel)

وحدثنا سريج بن يونس، وعمرو الناقد، - واللفظ لسريج - قالا حدثنا عبد، الله بن رجاء عن يونس، عن الزهري، عن سالم، عن ابيه، قال نفلنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نفلا سوى نصيبنا من الخمس فاصابني شارف والشارف المسن الكبير

It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to give (from the spoils of war) to small troops seat on expeditions something more than the due share of each fighter in a large force. And Khums (one-fifth of the total spoils) was to be reserved (for Allah and His Apostle) in all cases

Abu Muammad al-Ansari, who was the close companion of Abu Qatada. narrated the hadith (which follows)

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى التميمي، اخبرنا هشيم، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن عمر بن، كثير بن افلح عن ابي محمد الانصاري، وكان، جليسا لابي قتادة قال قال ابو قتادة . واقتص الحديث

Abu Muhammad, the freed slave of Abu Qatada reported on the authority of Abu Qatda and narrated the hadith

وحدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا ليث، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن عمر بن كثير، عن ابي محمد، مولى ابي قتادة ان ابا قتادة، قال . وساق الحديث

Abu Qatada reported:We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (my peace be upon him) on an expedition in the year of the Battle of Hunain. When we encountered the enemy, (some of the Muslims turned back (in fear). I saw that a man from the polytheists overpowered one of the Muslims. I turned round and attacked him from behind giving a blow between his neck and shoulder. He turned towards me and grappled with me in such a way that I began to see death staring me in the face. Then death overtook him and left me alone. I joined 'Umar b. al-Khattab who was saying: What has happened to the people (that they are retreating)? I said: It is the Decree of Allah. Then the people returned. (The battle ended in a victory for the Muslims) and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat down (to distribute the spoils of war). He said: One who has killed an enemy and can bring evidence to prove it will get his belongings. So I stood up and said: Who will give evidence for me? Then I sat down. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said like this. I stood up (again) and said: Who will bear witness for me? He (the Holy Prophet) made the same observation the third time, and I stood up (once again). Now the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: What has happened to you, O Abu Qatada? Then I related the (whole) story, to him. At this, one of the people said: He has told the truth. Messenger of Allah 1 The belongings of the enemy killed by him are with me. Persuade him to forgo his right (in my favour). (Objecting to this proposal) Abu Bakr said: BY Allah, this will not happen. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) will not like to deprive one of the lions from among the lions of Allah who fight in the cause of Allah and His Messenger and give thee his share of the booty. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: He (Abu Bakr) has told the truth, and so give the belongings to him (Abu Qatada). So he gave them to me. I sold the armour (which was a part of my share of the booty) and bought with the sale proceeds a garden in the street of Banu Salama. This was the first property I acquired after embracing Islam. In a version of the hadith narrated by Laith, the words uttered by Abu Bakr are:" No, never! He will not give it to a fox from the Quraish leaving aside a lion from the lions of Allah among...." And the hadith is closed with the words:" The first property I acquired

وحدثنا ابو الطاهر، وحرملة، - واللفظ له - اخبرنا عبد الله بن وهب، قال سمعت مالك بن انس، يقول حدثني يحيى بن سعيد، عن عمر بن كثير بن افلح، عن ابي محمد، مولى ابي قتادة عن ابي قتادة، قال خرجنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عام حنين فلما التقينا كانت للمسلمين جولة . قال فرايت رجلا من المشركين قد علا رجلا من المسلمين فاستدرت اليه حتى اتيته من ورايه فضربته على حبل عاتقه واقبل على فضمني ضمة وجدت منها ريح الموت ثم ادركه الموت فارسلني فلحقت عمر بن الخطاب فقال ما للناس فقلت امر الله . ثم ان الناس رجعوا وجلس رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم . فقال " من قتل قتيلا له عليه بينة فله سلبه " . قال فقمت فقلت من يشهد لي ثم جلست ثم قال مثل ذلك فقال فقمت فقلت من يشهد لي ثم جلست ثم قال ذلك الثالثة فقمت فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ما لك يا ابا قتادة " . فقصصت عليه القصة فقال رجل من القوم صدق يا رسول الله سلب ذلك القتيل عندي فارضه من حقه . وقال ابو بكر الصديق لاها الله اذا لا يعمد الى اسد من اسد الله يقاتل عن الله وعن رسوله فيعطيك سلبه . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " صدق فاعطه اياه " . فاعطاني قال فبعت الدرع فابتعت به مخرفا في بني سلمة فانه لاول مال تاثلته في الاسلام . وفي حديث الليث فقال ابو بكر كلا لا يعطيه اضيبع من قريش ويدع اسدا من اسد الله . وفي حديث الليث لاول مال تاثلته

It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf who said:While I was standing in the battle array on the Day of Badr, I looked towards my right and my left, and found myself between two boys from the Ansar quite young in age. I wished I were between stronger persons. One of them made a sign to me and. said: Uncle, do you recognise Abu Jahl? 1 said: Yes. What do you want to do with him, O my nephew? He said: I have been told that he abuses the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). By Allah, in Whose Hand is my life, if I see him (I will grapple with him) and will not leave him until one of us who is destined to die earlier is killed. The narrator said: I wondered at this. Then the other made a sign to me and said similar words. Soon after I saw Abu Jahl. He was moving about among men. I said to the two boys: Don't you see? He is the man you were inquiring about. (As soon as they heard this), they dashed towards him, struck him with their swords until he was killed. Then they returned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him (to this effect). He asked: Which of you has killed him? Each one of them said: I have killed him. He said: Have you wiped your swords? They said: No. He examined their swords and said: Both of you have killed him. He then decided that the belongings of Abu Jahl he handed over to Mu'adh b. Amr b. al-Jamuh. And the two boys were Mu'adh b. Amr b. Jawth and Mu'adh b. Afra

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى التميمي، اخبرنا يوسف بن الماجشون، عن صالح بن ابراهيم، بن عبد الرحمن بن عوف عن ابيه، عن عبد الرحمن بن عوف، انه قال بينا انا واقف، في الصف يوم بدر نظرت عن يميني، وشمالي، فاذا انا بين، غلامين من الانصار حديثة اسنانهما تمنيت لو كنت بين اضلع منهما فغمزني احدهما . فقال يا عم هل تعرف ابا جهل قال قلت نعم وما حاجتك اليه يا ابن اخي قال اخبرت انه يسب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والذي نفسي بيده لين رايته لا يفارق سوادي سواده حتى يموت الاعجل منا . قال فتعجبت لذلك فغمزني الاخر فقال مثلها - قال - فلم انشب ان نظرت الى ابي جهل يزول في الناس فقلت الا تريان هذا صاحبكما الذي تسالان عنه قال فابتدراه فضرباه بسيفيهما حتى قتلاه ثم انصرفا الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخبراه . فقال " ايكما قتله " . فقال كل واحد منهما انا قتلت . فقال " هل مسحتما سيفيكما " . قالا لا . فنظر في السيفين فقال " كلاكما قتله " . وقضى بسلبه لمعاذ بن عمرو بن الجموح والرجلان معاذ بن عمرو بن الجموح ومعاذ ابن عفراء

Auf b. Malik has narrated that a man from the Himyar tribe killed an enemy and wanted to take the booty. Khalid b. Walid, who was the commander over them, forbade, him. 'Auf b Malik (the narrator) came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him (to this effect). The latter asked Khalid:What prevented you from giving the booty to him? Khalid said: I thought it was too much. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Hand it over to him. Now when Khalid by Auf, the latter pulled him by his cloak and said (by way of chafing him): Hasn't the same thing happened what I reported to you from the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him)? When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard it. he was angry (and said): Khalid, don't give him, Khalid, don't give him. Are you going to desert the commanders appointed by roe? Your similitude and theirs is like a person who took camels and sheep for grazing. He grazed them and when it was time for them to have a drink, he brought them to a pool. So they drank from it, drinking away its clear water and leaving the turbid water below So the clear water (i. e. the best reward) is for you and the turbid water (i e. blame) is for them

وحدثني ابو الطاهر، احمد بن عمرو بن سرح اخبرنا عبد الله بن وهب، اخبرني معاوية بن صالح، عن عبد الرحمن بن جبير، عن ابيه، عن عوف بن مالك، قال قتل رجل من حمير رجلا من العدو فاراد سلبه فمنعه خالد بن الوليد وكان واليا عليهم فاتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عوف بن مالك فاخبره فقال لخالد " ما منعك ان تعطيه سلبه " . قال استكثرته يا رسول الله . قال " ادفعه اليه " . فمر خالد بعوف فجر بردايه ثم قال هل انجزت لك ما ذكرت لك من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسمعه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاستغضب فقال " لا تعطه يا خالد لا تعطه يا خالد هل انتم تاركون لي امرايي انما مثلكم ومثلهم كمثل رجل استرعي ابلا او غنما فرعاها ثم تحين سقيها فاوردها حوضا فشرعت فيه فشربت صفوه وتركت كدره فصفوه لكم وكدره عليهم

It has been narrated on the authority of Auf b. Malik al-Ashja'i who said:I joined the expedition that marched under Zaid b. Haritha to Muta, and I received reinformcement from the Yemen. (After this introduction), the narrator narrated the tradition that had gone before except that in his version Auf was reported to have said (to Khalid): Khalid, didn't you know that the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) had decided In favour of giving the booty (sized from an enemy) to one who killed him? He (Khalid) said: Yes. but I thought it was too much

وحدثني زهير بن حرب، حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم، حدثنا صفوان بن عمرو، عن عبد، الرحمن بن جبير بن نفير عن ابيه، عن عوف بن مالك الاشجعي، قال خرجت مع من خرج مع زيد بن حارثة في غزوة موتة ورافقني مددي من اليمن . وساق الحديث عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم . بنحوه غير انه قال في الحديث قال عوف فقلت يا خالد اما علمت ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قضى بالسلب للقاتل قال بلى ولكني استكثرته

It has been reported by Salama b. al-Akwa':We fought the Battle of Hawazin along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). (One day) when we were having our breakfast with the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him), a man came riding a red camel. He made it kneel down, extracted a strip of leather from its girth and tethered the camel with it. Then he began to take food with the people and look (curiously around). We were in a poor condition as some of us were on foot (being without any riding animals). All of a sudden, he left us hurriedy, came to his camel, untethered it, made it kneel down, mounted it and urged the beast which ran off with him. A man on a brown rhe-camel chased him (taking him for a spy). Salama (the narrator) said: I followed on foot. I ran on until I was near the thigh of the she-camel. I advanced further until I was near the haunches of the camel. I advanced still further until I caught hold of the nosestring of the camel. I made it kneel down. As soon as it placed its knee on the ground, I drew my sword and struck at the head, of the rider who fell down. I brought the camel driving it along with the man's baggage and weapons. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came forward to meet me and the people were with him. He asked: Who has killed the man? The people said: Ibn Akwa'. He said: Everything of the man is for him (Ibn Akwa)

حدثنا زهير بن حرب، حدثنا عمر بن يونس الحنفي، حدثنا عكرمة بن عمار، حدثني اياس بن سلمة، حدثني ابي سلمة بن الاكوع، قال غزونا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم هوازن فبينا نحن نتضحى مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اذ جاء رجل على جمل احمر فاناخه ثم انتزع طلقا من حقبه فقيد به الجمل ثم تقدم يتغدى مع القوم وجعل ينظر وفينا ضعفة ورقة في الظهر وبعضنا مشاة اذ خرج يشتد فاتى جمله فاطلق قيده ثم اناخه وقعد عليه فاثاره فاشتد به الجمل فاتبعه رجل على ناقة ورقاء . قال سلمة وخرجت اشتد فكنت عند ورك الناقة . ثم تقدمت حتى كنت عند ورك الجمل ثم تقدمت حتى اخذت بخطام الجمل فانخته فلما وضع ركبته في الارض اخترطت سيفي فضربت راس الرجل فندر ثم جيت بالجمل اقوده عليه رحله وسلاحه فاستقبلني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والناس معه فقال " من قتل الرجل " . قالوا ابن الاكوع . قال " له سلبه اجمع

It has been narrated on the authority of Salama (b. al-Akwa') who said:We fought against the Fazara, and Abu Bakr was the commander over us. He had been appointed by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When we were only at an hour's distance from the water of the enemy, Abu Bakr ordered us to attack. We made a halt during the last part of the night to rest and then we attacked from all sides and reached their watering-place where a battle was fought. Some of the enemies were killed and some were taken prisoners. I saw a group of persons that consisted of women and children. I was afraid lest they should reach the mountain before me, so I shot an arrow between them and the mountain. When they saw the arrow, they stopped. So I brought them, driving them along. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazara. She was wearing a leather coat. With her was her daughter who was one of the prettiest girls in Arabia. I drove them along until I brought them to Abu Bakr who bestowed that girl upon me as a prize. So we arrived in Medina. I had not yet disrobed her when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) met me in the street and said: Give me that girl, O Salama. I said: Messenger of Allah, she has fascinated me. I had not yet disrobed her. When on the next day the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) again met me in the street, he said: O Salama, give me that girl, may God bless your father. I said: She is for you, Messenger of Allah! By Allah. I have not yet disrobed her. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent her to the people of Mecca, and surrendered her as ransom for a number of Muslims who had been kept as prisoners at Mecca

حدثنا زهير بن حرب، حدثنا عمر بن يونس، حدثنا عكرمة بن عمار، حدثني اياس بن سلمة، حدثني ابي قال، غزونا فزارة وعلينا ابو بكر امره رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علينا فلما كان بيننا وبين الماء ساعة امرنا ابو بكر فعرسنا ثم شن الغارة فورد الماء فقتل من قتل عليه وسبى وانظر الى عنق من الناس فيهم الذراري فخشيت ان يسبقوني الى الجبل فرميت بسهم بينهم وبين الجبل فلما راوا السهم وقفوا فجيت بهم اسوقهم وفيهم امراة من بني فزارة عليها قشع من ادم - قال القشع النطع - معها ابنة لها من احسن العرب فسقتهم حتى اتيت بهم ابا بكر فنفلني ابو بكر ابنتها فقدمنا المدينة وما كشفت لها ثوبا فلقيني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في السوق فقال " يا سلمة هب لي المراة " . فقلت يا رسول الله والله لقد اعجبتني وما كشفت لها ثوبا ثم لقيني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من الغد في السوق فقال لي " يا سلمة هب لي المراة لله ابوك " . فقلت هي لك يا رسول الله فوالله ما كشفت لها ثوبا فبعث بها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الى اهل مكة ففدى بها ناسا من المسلمين كانوا اسروا بمكة

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:If you come to a township (which has surrendered without a formal war) and stay therein, you have a share (that will be in the form of an award) in (the properties obtained from) it. If a township disobeys Allah and His Messenger (and actually fights against the Muslims) one-fifth of the booty seized therefrom is for Allah and His Apostle and the rest is for you

حدثنا احمد بن حنبل، ومحمد بن رافع، قالا حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا معمر، عن همام بن منبه، قال هذا ما حدثنا ابو هريرة، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر احاديث منها وقال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ايما قرية اتيتموها واقمتم فيها فسهمكم فيها وايما قرية عصت الله ورسوله فان خمسها لله ولرسوله ثم هي لكم

It has been narrated on the authority of Umar, who said:The properties abandoned by Banu Nadir were the ones which Allah bestowed upon His Apostle for which no expedition was undertaken either with cavalry or camelry. These properties were particularly meant for the Prophet (ﷺ). He would meet the annual expenditure of his family from the income thereof, and would spend what remained for purchasing horses and weapons as preparation for Jihad

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، ومحمد بن عباد، وابو بكر بن ابي شيبة واسحاق بن ابراهيم - واللفظ لابن ابي شيبة - قال اسحاق اخبرنا وقال الاخرون، حدثنا سفيان، عن عمرو، عن الزهري، عن مالك بن اوس، عن عمر، قال كانت اموال بني النضير مما افاء الله على رسوله مما لم يوجف عليه المسلمون بخيل ولا ركاب فكانت للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خاصة فكان ينفق على اهله نفقة سنة وما بقي يجعله في الكراع والسلاح عدة في سبيل الله

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، قال اخبرنا سفيان بن عيينة، عن معمر، عن الزهري، بهذا الاسناد

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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) passed away, Abu Bakr said:" I am the successor of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)." 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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

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 (ﷺ) 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

حدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، ومحمد بن رافع، وعبد بن حميد، - قال ابن رافع حدثنا وقال الاخران، اخبرنا عبد الرزاق، - اخبرنا معمر، عن الزهري، عن مالك بن اوس، بن الحدثان قال ارسل الى عمر بن الخطاب فقال انه قد حضر اهل ابيات من قومك . بنحو حديث مالك . غير ان فيه، فكان ينفق على اهله منه سنة وربما قال معمر يحبس قوت اهله منه سنة ثم يجعل ما بقي منه مجعل مال الله عز وجل

It is narrated on the authority of 'A'isha who said:When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ). (At this), A'isha said to them: Hasn't the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:" We (Prophets) do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity"?

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، قال قرات على مالك عن ابن شهاب، عن عروة، عن عايشة، انها قالت ان ازواج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حين توفي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اردن ان يبعثن عثمان بن عفان الى ابي بكر فيسالنه ميراثهن من النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت عايشة لهن اليس قد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لا نورث ما تركنا فهو صدقة

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 (ﷺ), sent someone to Abu Bakr to demand from him her share of the legacy left by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) will live on the income from these properties, but, by Allah, I will not change the charity of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ). 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 (ﷺ). 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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
