(Hadith to follow) [2] \n However, soon after the demise of the Holy Prophet -saww , the first Muslim caliph (Abu Bakr) expelled Syeda Fatima -asws \u2019s workers from Fadak and declared it to be an estate of general Muslims. \u00a0To refute the state ordinance, Syeda Fatima -asws asked the ruler for the reasons of expelling her farmers from Fadak.\u00a0 Instead, Syeda -asws was asked to provide proofs that it belongs to her -asws .

\n Syeda -asws replied, it was in my possession since the life time my father -saww , so you should be giving proofs that it\u2019s not my estate! Nonetheless, the ruling party insisted upon seeing a proof of ownership of Fadak from Syeda -asws .\u00a0 Upon their insistence, Syeda Fatima \u2011asws , presented a parchment, in the hand-writing of Rasool Allah -saww , in which Prophet -saww had gifted Fadak to Syeda Fatima -asws !

The writing of Rasool Allah -saww was recognised and accepted by Abu Bakr along with those present among Muslims.\u00a0 However, at this point the second Muslim caliph (Umar) stepped-in and tore the parchment into pieces and demanded that Syeda Fatima -asws must produce witnesses for the ownership Fadak.\u00a0 Thereby, invalidating the Command of Allah -azwj as executed and written by His Prophet -saww .

\n Syeda Fatima -asws contested again that those who are declared truthful in the Holy Quran are exempt from being asked to prove their truthfulness (via witnesses) as they are deemed truthful by Allah -azwj in the Quran, by citing Holy Verses, e.g., ( 33:33). [3] . \n When the demand to present witnesses persisted, Syeda Fatima -asws brought Ali -asws and Umm Ayman- as to the court of First Muslim Caliph.

This was accepted by the first Muslim caliph and he wrote down a document returning Fadak to Syeda \u2011asws , but again the second Muslim caliph (Umar) intervened again, like before and tore that document apart and said these witnesses are not acceptable to us.
