English translation

2968. It was reported from 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that she said: "Fāṭimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, sent someone to Abū Bakr demanding her inheritance from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ from what Allāh had bestowed on him from Al-Madīnah, Fadak and whatever remained of the Khumus of Khaibar. Abū Bakr said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "We do not have heirs, whatever we leave is Sadaqah (charity). The family of Muḥammad shall only eat from this property." By Allāh! I will not change anything in the Sadaqah (charity) of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ from what it was in the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. I will deal with it the way the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did.' Abū Bakr refused to give anything to Fāṭimah from it." (Sahih)

2968 - حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهِبٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عُقَيْلِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَفَدَكَ، وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ خُمُسِ خَيْبَرَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ، إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ»، وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَا أُغَيِّرُ شَيْئًا مِنْ صَدَقَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ حَالِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهَا، فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَأَعْمَلَنَّ فِيهَا بِمَا عَمِلَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَام، مِنْهَا شَيْئًا "
