The Story of the Land of Fadak
Question :
A book called 'Fadak in History' came into my hands in which the writer describes the two caliphs, Abu Bakr and 'Umar as disbelievers. What is the ruling of the religion on this book?
Answer:
The Rafidhah - may Allah's curse be on them - claim that the Prophet is inherited from like other human beings and that Abu Bakr deprived Fatimah of her inheritance, that 'Umar supported him in this, and that the aforementioned land of Fidk, which was near Madinah was his property, and that they took over the matter of its disposal, and claimed it for themselves, or that they placed it in the public treasury. The writer of this book, an evil Rafidhi, should be avoided, along with his wicked lies and slanders, for the Prophet said:
"We do not bequeath (anything) nor do we leave it as charity.
Abu Bakr and 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, acted in accordance with this in the matter of the land, just as he did during his lifetime, and 'Uthman, 'Ali and Al-Hasan supported them in this, but the Rawafidh have no sense.
