Also, Tabari in his book and Ibn Athir in the book “Kamel” made a reference to this.[^7] It was also mentioned by many historians confirming that the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) during his own lifetime granted Fadak to the Lady of Islam Fatimah Zahra (p.b.u.h.).[^8] Strong evidence of this transferal is that many commentators, including the famous Sunni commentator Jalal-Al-Din Sayuti in the commentary book (Dar-Al-Mansour) under the Quranic Verse; (give the near of kin their due), has quoted from “Abu Saeed Khadri” that, because this verse was descended, the Apostle of God (p.b.u.h.) asked for Fatimah and granted Fadak to her.

The words of this tradition are as follows: Translation: When the word of God was revealed saying that; “O’ Prophet! Give your near of kin their due”, the Apostle of God (p.b.u.h.) granted Fadak to Fatimah (p.b.u.h.). Under that same verse another tradition is narrated from “Ibn Abbas” which contains the same information.

Another eye - witness to this claim is the remark of Amir al Momeneen (p.b.u.h.) in “Nahjul Balaghe” in relation to Fadak, in which he says: (“Nahiul Balagheh”, letter 45, translation into English by: “Ali Naqi-un-Naqvi”) Translation: “Of course, all that we had in our possession under this sky was Fadak, but a group of people felt greedy for it and the other party withheld themselves from it.

Allah, is after all the best arbitrator.” This remark clearly shows that in the Prophets (p.b.u.h.) time Fadak was under the control of Ali (p.b.u.h.) and Fatimah Zahra (p.b.u.h.). However, later a group of the Hakems jealous men feasted their eyes upon it and Ali (p.b.u.h.) and his wife-the Lady of Islam-were forced to overlook it, and of course this over looking did not occur of their own free will. If other than this was true then the calling of God as arbitrator i.e.

to say would have been meaningless. Among the great Shia scholars, a large group have also mentioned traditions related to this section in their own creditable books. Among them the following scholars may be mentioned; The late “Kolainey ” in “Kafey ”, and the late Sadugh and in their commentary and in , and also another large group in books of commentary, history and traditions, of which mentioning all of them would be too lengthy.

Now let us see why and for what reason they took Fadak away from Fatimah (p.b.u.h.). Previous…
