But how...

But how, for a people whose faith is assured, can anyone give better judgment than Allah -azwj ? Don’t you know? Yes, indeed it is obvious to you that I am Prophet -saww \u2018s only daughter. \n O Muslims! Will my inheritance be usurped? O son of Abu Quhafa – ! Where is it in the Book of Allah -azwj that you inherit your father and I -asws do not inherit mine? Surely you have come up with an unprecedented thing. Do you intentionally abandon the Book of Allah -azwj and cast it behind your back?

Do you not read where it says: \u201cAnd Suleman -as inherited from his father Dawood -as ?\u201d \n And when it narrates the supplication of Zakariya -as and says: `So give me an heir as from you!

One that will inherit me, and inherit the posterity of Al-Yaqoob -as ‘ \n And Allah -azwj thus directs you in the same book as regards to your children’s inheritance: \u2018Male inherits a portion equal to that of two females’ and, if he leaves any goods, he should make a bequest to parents and next of kin, according to reasonable usage.’ While Allah -azwj has openly revealed this yet you still claim that I have no share! And that I do not inherit my Father -saww ! What!

Did Allah -azwj reveal a verse regarding you, from which He excluded my Father -saww ? Or do you say: `These, Fatima -asws and her Father -saww , are the people of two different faiths and nation, and thus they do not inherit each other?!’ Are we not, me and my father, a people adhering to same faith? Or is it that you have more knowledge about the specifi\u00adcations and generalizations of the Quran than my father and my cousin (Imam Ali -asws )? \n So, here you are! Take it (Fadak).

As if bridling a camel ready with its nose rope and saddled! But O Abu bakar, it shall encounter you on the Day of Gathering; thus what a wonder\u00adful judge is Allah -azwj , and Muhammad -saww is our saviour and leader. O’ Abu bakr be prepared for its consequences on the Day of Reckoning. At the time of the hour the wrongdoers shall lose; and it shall not benefit you to regret your actions then!

For every Message, there is a time limit; and soon shall ye know who will be inflicted with wrath of Allah -azwj that will humiliate him, and who will be confronted by an everlasting punishment. \n (Syeda) Fatima -asws then turned towards the Ansars and said:) O you people of Ansar! The strong supporters of the nation! And those who embraced and protected Islam; what is this short-coming in defending my right?
