6726. Abū Bakr said to them, "I have heard from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'Our property is not to be inherited, and whatever we (after our death) leave is to be spent in charity, but the family of Muḥammad (ﷺ) may take their provisions from this property.'" Abū Bakr added, "By Allāh, I will not leave the procedure I saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ following during his lifetime concerning this property." Therefore Fāṭima left Abū Bakr and did not speak to him till she died.

6726 - فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لاَ نُورَثُ، مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ، إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ هَذَا المَالِ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَدَعُ أَمْرًا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُهُ فِيهِ إِلَّا صَنَعْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَهَجَرَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ، فَلَمْ تُكَلِّمْهُ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ
