Sunni references: al Mustadrak, vol 4 p 63 History of Tabari, vol 3 p 3460 al Istiab, vol 4 p 1793 Usud al Ghabah, vol 5 p 567 Tabaqat, vol 8 p 192 al Isabah, vol 4 p 432 But this evidence was held in-admissible by Abu Bakr and Fatimah's (as) claim was rejected as being based on false statement. About this Baladhuri writes: Fatimah (as) said to Abu Bakr: The Messenger of Allah had apportioned Fadak to me. Therefore give it to me.

Then he asked for another witness than Umm Ayman, saying: O daughter of the Prophet, you know that evidence is not admissible except by two men or one man and two women. Besides, them, Imam Hasan (as) and Imam Hussain (as) gave evidence in support of Fatimah (as), but their evidence was also rejected; on the ground that the evidence of the offspring and minors was not acceptable in favour of their parents.

Then Rabah the slave of the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) was also produced as a witness in support of the claim of Fatimah but he was rejected too.

Sunni references: Futuhul Buldan, vol 1 p 35 at Tarikh, Yaqubi, vol 3 p 195 Muruj ad Dhahab, al Masudi, vol 3 p 237 al Awail, Abu Hilal al Askari, p 209 Wafa al Wafa, vol 3 p 99-1001 Mujam al Buldan, Yaqut al Hamawai, vol 4 p 239 Sharah, Ibn al Hadid, vol 16, p 216, 219-220, 274 al Muhalla, Ibn HAzm, vol 6 p 507 as Sirah al halabiyah, vol 3 p 261 at Tafsir, al Fakr ad Din al Razi, vol 29 p 284 copied it. But there is a lot of contradiction in their statements.

Ibn-Saad narrates that Fatimah had not heard this directly from RasulAllah , but from Ume-Yamin and that is why she presented her as a witness. On the other hand Baladhuri says that Fatimah claimed that her father had given her Fadak oasis. Whatever ! Now let us look at the legal aspect of this issue. Legally, it could be either RasulAllahOs deed of gift (Hiba) or his will. If it was a gift, it should have been given to Fatimah in his lifetime. But this was not the case as we all know.
