Re: The issue of Fadak
And it is worth mentioning that Hazarat Usman gave Fadak to one of his close releative Marwan** ibn al-Hakam** (623 - 685). Who was Marwan? You may search out (Hakam was a first cousin of Uthman ibn Affan) although it is recorded in history that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) cursed and sent both him and his father, Al-Hakam ibn Abi al-'As to exile, saying they should never return. During the reign of Hazrat Uthman, he brought Marwan and his father back.
