General facts on Fadak

What is Fadak?    

For evidence as to how much area constituted fadak, we are relying on the following esteemed Sunni works:

1. Maujam ul Buldan by Yaqoot Hamawi, v14, p238
   
2. Tareekh Khamees, v2, p88
   
3. Wafa-ul-Wafa by Noor-ud-Deen Al-Samhoodi, v4, page 1480
   

"Fadak was a city, which was situated 2 or 3 days of travel from Madina. There were wells of water and trees of dates in it. It was the same Fadak, about which Fatima Zahra (r) said to Abu Bakr, "My father gave me this Fadak as a present". Abu Bakr asked her in reply to produce witnesses."

Note: Upon this demand of Abu Bakr, Fatima (as) recited this verse of the Qur'an:

"Nay, but ye have yourselves contrived a story (good enough) for you. So patience is most fitting (for me).
Al-Qur'an, Surah 12, Ayah 83, translation by Yusufali

Narration about oppressions from Sayyid Muhammed al-Mehdi al-Husaini al-Qazwini (d. 1300 A.H.)

The renown scholar and great sign, Sayyid Muhammed ibn al-Mehdi ibn al-Hasan al-Husaini al-Qazwini, one of the greatest scholars and major authorities of taqlid of his time, has said:

They were not satisfied with all of this, so they harassed Ali (A.S.) and Bani Hashim with regard to their oath of allegiance, setting the houses of the family of Muhammed (A.S.) ablaze. Fatima (A.S.) tried to act as a barrier between both parties but, when she could not stop them, and when she opened the door, they squeezed her with it, breaking her rib and causing her to miscarry al-Muhassan. They broke the sword of al-Zubayr in the house’s courtyard and handcuffed Ali (A.S.) with the suspenders of his own sword, leading him as they would a stray camel as indicated by al-Tabari, al-Waqidi, Ibn Jirayah (in his book titled Al-Noor), Ibn `Abd Rabbih, the compiler of the book titled Nafa’is al-Jawahir by Ibn Sahlawayh (who was inspector at public schools in Baghdad), `Omer ibn Shaybah and others. They did all of this after Ali (A.S.) refused for six months to swear the oath of allegiance (to Abu Bakr). Add to this how they deprived Fatima (A.S.) of the inheritance of her father, how they confiscated Fadak and all its orchards, how they rejected her argument and the testimony of Ali (A.S.) and both al-Hasan (A.S.) and al-Husain (A.S.) as well as Umm Ayman, how they tore to pieces her property title from the Trusted Prophet (A.S.) who was sent as mercy to the whole world, in addition to other behavior whereby they hurt Fatima (A.S.). They harassed her because she was mourning the death of her father (A.S.) till she had to resort to bayt al-ahzan, how she fell sick because of their treatment of her, how she was buried secretly, even her death while still being depressed as al-Bukhari and others clearly indicated. So, if all of this is so well proven...etc.^[1]
