2972. It was reported from Al-Mughirah who said: "Umar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz gathered the family of Marwān when he was appointed as the Khalifah, and he said: 'Fadak belonged to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He used to disburse from it, and showing kindness to the young of Banū Hāshim, contributing towards the marriage of those who were not married. Fāṭimah requested to grant it to her, but he refused. The matter was like that in the life of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ until he died. When Abū Bakr became the Khalifah, he resumed what the Prophet ﷺ did in his lifetime until he died. When 'Umar became the Khalifah he resumed what they had done until he died. Then it was taken by Marwan, and then it came afterwards to 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz.' 'Umar, meaning Ibn 'Abdul-'Aziz' said: 'I regard that I have no right to something which the Prophet ﷺ did not give Fāṭimah. I make you all witness that I am returning it back to its former condition.' Meaning (as it was) during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." (Da'if) Abū Dāwud said: When 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz became Khalifah its revenue was forty thousand Dinārs, and when he died it was four hundred Dinārs. Had he lived longer it would have become less.
