[1] There was great likelihood that Jabir told the truth.

[1] There was great likelihood that Jabir told the truth. Well, why is such a possibility not considered with regard to Zahra? She was the daughter of Prophet and she was infallible. Her position was far greater than that of Jabir, who was only a companion of the Prophet. New let us see what Ibn Hajar Asqalani says in Fath al-Bari: This tradition proves that the word of a just companion of the Prophet, individually, should be accepted though it may be profitable to him.

[2] For this reason, Abu Bakr did not demand a witness. Zahra said that the Prophet had bestowed to her the Fadak. So why such difference between the two claims – one his only daughter and another only his companion among so many? Ayini says in his book Umdat al-Qari Fi Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari: Jabir is a just man according to the proof of Quran and traditions. Therefore Abu Bakr did not demand a witness. It is not likely that a Muslim would lie on the Prophet, what to say of a companion!

[3] How is it that Abu Bakr accepted the claim of Jabir but did not accept the claim of Zahra? Was she lesser than Jabir? Would she lie about the Prophet? You do not presume that a Muslim would attribute lie to the Prophet. What is the difference between the two claims? Why the claim of Zahra is rejected inspite of the rules and witnesses? But [1] Quoted from: Al-Kawakib, Vol. 1, Pg. 125 [2] Quoted from: Fath al-Bari, Vol. 4, Pg. 375 [3] Quoted from: Al-Umdatul Qari, Vol. 12, Pg.

121 the claim of Jabir is accepted without any witness!!” [1] 2 – Double Standard Treatment between Son of Amr Aas and Ubadah bin Samit With regard to justice of Umar it is said: “Umar was so dignified that he could stop any insurgency. Muhammad son of Amr Aas was a victor and governor of Egypt. During the governorship of Amr Aas a horse race was held. In this race someone else was riding the horse of Muhammad. In the race a horse resembling Muhammad’s won. Muhammad was present there.

He presumed his horse won the race. He said: By the Lord of Kaaba my horse was ahead of all. The real owner of the horse, an Egyptian, shouted: By God of Kaaba it was my horse that won. Muhammad bin Amr Aas became angry and scourged him with the lash he was holding and said: Take this. I am a noble. The Egyptian went to Umar and complained. Umar called Amr Aas and his son to Medina. Umar asked the Egyptian to take the lash and beat the noble’s son.

Then he asked Amr Aas why he treated people like slaves when they were born free?”!
