Eventually, Bani Umayyed was over thrown and bin Abbas came into power. The famous Abbasid caliph returned it to “Abdullah ben Hassan ben Ali (p.b.u.h.)” as a representative of Bani Fatimah (p.b.u.h.). Barely no time had passed when “Abu Jaffar Abbasi” took it from the family of Hassan (p.b.u.h.). (because they had revolted against Bani Abbas) “Mahdi Abbasi” the son of “Abu Jaffar” returned it to the offspring of Fatimah (p.b.u.h.).

“Musa Al-hady” another Abbasid caliph once again usurped it, and “Haroon Al-Rashid” continued in this. Mamoon, in order to make a show of great affection for the Prophets descendents and the children of Ali (p.b.u.h.) and Fatimah (p.b.u.h.), returned it to the offspring of Fatimah with much pomp and circumstance. It has been recorded in History that Mamoon wrote as such to his governor in Medina .

Translation: “The messenger of Cod (p.b.u.h.) granted “Fadak” to his daughter “Fatimah” (p.b.u.h.) and this was a well know open matter among the Prophets family. After that Fatimah was its consistent claimant and her word is more worthy than any ones of confirmation and acceptance, and I see it fit that it be given to the representative of that at Hazrat (p.b.u.h).

Return it to Muhammad ben Yahya and Muhammad ben Abdullah (the grand-children or Imam Zain al-Abedeen) so that they may distribute it among her descendents.” “Ibn Abi Al-hadid” says: Mamoon was sitting in attendance to the people’s complaints. The first complaint, which came to him and was regarded by him, dealt with Fadak. As soon as he read the complaint he began to cry and said to one of his officers, “call and see where Fatimah’s (p.b.u.h.) lawyer is”.

An old man came forward and spoke for a long while with Mamoon. Mamoon gave an order. A decree was written and Fadak was handed over to him as a representative of the Prophets Family (p.b.u.h.). When Mamoon signed this decree De’bal rose and recited a poem of which the first verse is as follows: English Interpretation: The face of time took on a smile Because Mamoon returned Fadak to Bani Hashem. ( by Ibn Abi Al-hadid, vol.

16; Page 217) The author of the book “Fadak” writes that on authority of the single tradition of Abu Said Khidri which says: “The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) granted Fadak to Fatimah.” Mamoon gave orders that Fadak be returned to Fatimah’s ( p.b.u.h.) offspring. (“ Fadak”, page 6) But Motavakkel Abbasi because of his intense hatred of the Prophet’s family once again usurped Fadak from them.
