He retired in the house of Hazrat Fatima (S.A).The Government was very angry with Imam Ali (A.S). To get him out of the house of Hazrat Fatima (S. A), the government's people set fire on the door of the house. The door was then pushed in. Imam Ali (A.S) was taken to Abu Bakr by force. The burning door fell on Hazrat Fatima (S.A) and hurt her so much that her ribs were broken. The child Muhsin, who was in her womb was killed and was stillborn. Hazrat Fatima (S.A) went crying to the Mosque.

Imam Ali (A.S) was let free only when Hazrat Fatima (S.A) was about to ask for Allah's curse on those who had captured Imam Ali (A.S) and were threatening to kill him. Imam Ali went to the Prophet's grave and with tears in his eyes, complained to him saying, "Oh my Brother -your people now treat me with disrespect and are threatening to kill me. HAZRAT FATIMA'S (S.A) PROPERTY, FADAK, IS CONFISCATED The Muslims who had migrated to Medina had left behind all their unmoveable properties in Mecca.

All such Muslims were paid back by the Prophet from the revenues and wealth obtained from "Maale-Ghanima" (war booty), ^he last person to be paid back in this way was Hazrat Fatima (A.S). Hazrat Fatima (S.A) had inherited unmoveable property from her mother Khadija in Mecca. On migrating to Medina she lost all these properties. But her father, the Prophet (S.A.W.W) had decided not to compensate her until everyone else was compensated. She was compensated in 7 A.H. with the estate of Fadak.

The estate of Fadak was a personal property of the Prophet. It was obtained by the Prophet without a war. It belonged fully to him and he could do with it whatever he wished. How did the Prophet get the estate of Fadak? After the battle of Khaiber, those Jews who lived in the neighbourhood of Kheiber but had not fought the Muslims, decided to make peace by offering the Prophet (S.A.W.W} parts of land that belonged to them The Prophet (S.A. W.W.) agreed and the Jews gave him Fadak.

Fadak was located in the neighbourhood of Khaiber In those days it was about two to three days walk from Medina. It was made of seven villages. It was very fertile and had been fully put to agricultural use. The Prophet (S. A. W.W) got half of the Fadak. At the time of the Prophet (S. A. W.W), the yearly income from Fadak was about 20,000 dinars. The revenue was collected in three instalments. Out of this revenue Hazrat Fatima (S.A) took just enough money for food for her children.
