Re: The issue of Fadak
AllahkaBanda, I don’t want to start a debate here but just want to point out some of my viewsregarding the issue of the land of Fadak.
We all muslims believe, every act of Prophet P.B.U.H is done on Allah SWT will. All the actions he do and all the hadith’s Prophet P.B.U.H give is based on Allah SWT will. Now let me point out an hadith of Prophet P.B.U.H
“Fatimah is a part of me. Whoever makes her angry, makes me angry.”
Sunni references:
- Sahih al-Bukhari, Arabic-English, v5, Traditions #61 and #111
- Sahih Muslim, section of virtues of Fatimah, v4, pp 1904-5
Now read the following:
al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Aisha that:
… Fatimah became angry with Abu Bakr and kept away from him, and did
not talk to him till she died. She remained alive for six months after
the death of the Prophet. When she died, her husband 'Ali, buried her
at night without informing Abu Bakr and he said the funeral prayer by
himself.
Sunni references:
- Sahih al-Bukhari, Chapter of “The battle of Khaibar”, Arabic-English,
v5, tradition #546, pp 381-383, also v4, Tradition 325
Now based on the above narrations of Al-Bhukari try to answer the following questions:
- Would Allah SWT let his Prophet give such a hadith if nauzubillah Bibi Fatima Zehra SA had a tendency of getting angry with the people for wrong reasons
- As people have argued in other threads about the interpretation of these ayats. Would Allah SWT let his Prophet give this hadith if nauzubillah Bibi Fatima Zehra SA would mis interpret quranic verses and would get angry with Hazrat Abu Bakar for it?
- Would Prophet P.B.U.H. make Bibi Fatema Zehra S.A. the chief of all the ladies in paradise in the hadith below if she would nazubillah get angry with Abu Bakar. If one argues about the interpretation of the ayats presented by Bibi Fatima Zehra SA, would she nazubillah abuse the ayat of Quran and yet Hazrat Abu Bakar would have interpreted them correctly
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith: 4.819
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Messenger of Allah said to Fatimah (who was crying at her father’s
deathbed): “Are you not satisfied that you are the chief of all the
ladies of Paradise or the chief of all the believing women?”
- In the light of the ayat below, would Allah SWT reveal the following verse in Quran when nazubillah his daughter would get angry on Hazrat Abu Bakar for a wrong reason?
“(O Prophet) tell (people) I don’t ask you any wage except to love my family.” (Quran 42:23).
- When the ayat of Mubahila was revealed, Prophet P.B.U.H took Bibi Fatima Zehra SA as the only lady when it came to curse the lairs at Mubahila. Would such a pious lady every stand up for wrong?
Or
Should we use the above narrations, hadith’s and verses of quran as a guideline to jude who is on haq and who isn’t? Who made Prophet P.B.U.H angry?
