When the Christians from Najran visited Madina and argued
about Prophet Eisa as to who was his father, the Qur’an says in Surah Ali
Imran Ayah 59, “Indeed the case of Jesus (prophet Eisa) with Allah is like the
case of Adam: He created from dust, then said to him, ‘Be’ and he was.
When the Christians of Najran kept on arguing, then Allah
revealed Ayah 61 Surah Ali Imran. “Should anyone argue with you concerning
him, after the knowledge that has come to you say ‘Come! Let us call our sons and
your sons, our women and your women, our souls, and your souls, then let us
pray earnestly and call down Allah’s curse upon the liars.” In those days
Allah’s wrath used to fall on the liars.
Next day the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) emerged having Imam
Husseyn in his lap, holding Imam Hasan’s fingers, Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.)
behind him and the Lion of Allah, Imam Ali (a.s.) was behind Sayyida Fatima
Zahra (s.a.) erasing her footprints!
The Chief of the Christians inquired about the identities.
said, “If Muhammad
has brought his entire family, then he must be convinced about their truthfulness.
I am seeing such faces that if they pray Allah will move the mountains from
their place. Hence, you. people do not enter the Mubahelah with them.”
Hence, their truthfulness was certified by Allah!
After the sad demise of the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.),
the khilafat forcibly expelled the guards stationed by Sayyida Fatima Zahra
(s.a.) although the “Fadak” was gifted by the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) to
his daughter Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.). In law, possession is the proof of
ownership.
Abubaker asked for the witness of this gift. Imam Ali
(a.s.) and Umme Aiman were the witnesses. He rejected Imam Ali (a.s.) for being
the husband. Umme Aiman was considered as half witness. Imam Hasan and Imam Husseyn
were considered children and rejected.
In the Glorious Qur’an, Imam Ali, Sayyida Fatima Zahra,
Imam Hasan, and Imam Husseyn were Truthful and Abubaker requires witnesses to
prove that Sayyida Fatima Zahra’s claim that Fadak was gifted to her by her
father!
Whereupon Sayyida Fatima Zahra claimed her inheritance. Abubaker
narrated a tradition purported to be said by the Noble Messenger which no one
had heard till then. It was alleged that the prophet said that we prophets do
not leave any inheritance. Whatever is left is sadaqa belonging to people. She
challenged Abubaker “you will receive your father’s inheritance but not me? Prophet
Suleman inherited it from Prophet Daud (27:16). Prophet Zecharia praying for a
son who will inherit him. Surah Maryam Ayah 6 saying, “So grant from Yourself
an heir who may inherit from me and inherit from the House of Jacob (Yaqoob).
She also referred to (8:75), “And those who believed afterwards and migrated, and
waged Jihad along with you, they belong to you; but the blood relatives are
more entitled to inherit from one another in the Book of Allah.” Also, Surah
al-Ahzab Ayah 6 relates to inheritance.
