وحدثنا ابن نمير، حدثنا يعقوب بن إبراهيم، حدثنا أبي ح، وحدثنا زهير بن حرب، والحسن بن علي الحلواني قالا حدثنا يعقوب، - وهو ابن إبراهيم - حدثنا أبي، عن صالح، عن ابن شهاب، أخبرني عروة بن الزبير، أن عائشة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أخبرته أن فاطمة بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سألت أبا بكر بعد وفاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يقسم لها ميراثها مما ترك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مما أفاء الله عليه ‏.‏ فقال لها أبو بكر إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ‏"‏ لا نورث ما تركنا صدقة ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال وعاشت بعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ستة أشهر وكانت فاطمة تسأل أبا بكر نصيبها مما ترك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من خيبر وفدك وصدقته بالمدينة فأبى أبو بكر عليها ذلك وقال لست تاركا شيئا كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعمل به إلا عملت به إني أخشى إن تركت شيئا من أمره أن أزيغ فأما صدقته بالمدينة فدفعها عمر إلى علي وعباس فغلبه عليها علي وأما خيبر وفدك فأمسكهما عمر وقال هما صدقة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كانتا لحقوقه التي تعروه ونوائبه وأمرهما إلى من ولي الأمر قال فهما على ذلك إلى اليوم ‏.‏
 It has been narrated by 'Urwa b Zubair on the authority of 'A'isha, wife of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him), that Fatima, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), requested Abu Bakr, after the death of the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him), that he should set apart her share from what the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had left from the properties that God had bestowed upon him. Abu Bakr said to her:                      The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:" We do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is Sadaqa (charity)." The narrator said: She (Fatima) lived six months after the death of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and she used to demand from Abu Bakr her share from the legacy of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) from Khaibar, Fadak and his charitable endowments at Medina. Abu Bakr refused to give her this, and said: I am not going to give up doing anything which the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) used to do. I am afraid that it I go against his instructions in any matter I shall deviate from the right course. So far as the charitable endowments at Medina were concerned, 'Umar handed them over to 'Ali and Abbas, but 'Ali got the better of him (and kept the property under his exclusive possession). And as far as Khaibar and Fadak were concerned 'Umar kept them with him, and said: These are the endowments of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) (to the Umma). Their income was spent on the discharge of the responsibilities that devolved upon him on the emergencies he had to meet. And their management was to be in the hands of one who managed the affairs (of the Islamic State). The narrator said: They have been managed as such up to this day.
