Ibn Taymiyyah:
The attack on the house of Fatimah was to ensure that no public property was hidden inside it!
He writes: The most that can be said in this matter is that Abu Bakr suddenly entered the house of [Fatimah] to see whether any of the wealth of Allah — which was meant to be distributed among the people — was present there, so that he could return it to its rightful recipient.
