Report of Ibne Abi Shaybah (239 A.H.) about the attack on the house of revelation and martyrdom of Lady Zahra (sa)

He was a teacher of Muhammad Ibne Ismail Bukhari, author of the most authentic book of Ahle Sunnat. Al-Musannaf
He has written in it :
When people paid allegiance to Abu Bakr, and Ali and Zubair entered into a huddle in the house of Fatima, this information reached Umar bin Khattab; he came to the house of Fatima and said: O daughter of the Messenger of Allah, by Allah, your father was the most beloved person for us and after him it was you; but by Allah this love will not prevent me from ordering the burning down of this place along with its inmates if these people gather here. Umar made this remark and went away. When Ali (a) and Zubair returned, the honorable daughter of the Prophet said to Ali (a) and Zubair: Umar came and swore that if you again hold a meeting here, he would burn down the house on you; by Allah, he would indeed do what he has sworn.[1]
