Dr. Hasan bin Farhan Maliki, teacher and researcher of education,
training, development and practice, has written in this regard:
Supporters of Ali (a), during allegiance to Umar were less than
those who supported him (Ali) during allegiance of Abu Bakr; as in the
beginning of Abu Bakr’s Caliphate they had besieged the house of Fatima as some companions were against paying allegiance
to Abu Bakr. This claim is proved through correct authorities.[1]
Then he writes in its margin:
In the beginning I was of the view that the story of attack was
false and incorrect, but after referring and research I found confirmed referential
authorities of the same and one of those references is the statement of Ibne
Abi Shaybah in Al-Musannaf; after that this tragic incident is proved
through correct references.[2]
