Re: The issue of Fadak
There is numerous instances of deliberate victimization of the Ahl al-Bayt (as). Fadak is only one instance. Can Sunnis tell us why khums was cancelled?
Many Sunnis do not even know about it at all! Yet, it is a Qur’anic Commandment! Let me cite an instance:
Shaykh Nasiruddin al-Albani in his Al-Irwa 1242 narrates:
عن جبير ابن مطعم أنه جاء هو وعثمان بن عفانيكلمان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فيما قسم من الخمس بين بني هاشم وبني المطلبفقلت يا رسول الله قسمت لإخواننا بني المطلب ولم تعطنا شيئا وقرابتنا وقرابتهم منكواحدة فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إنما بنو هاشم وبنو المطلب شيء واحد قال جبيرولم يقسم لبني عبد شمس ولا لبني نوفل من ذلك الخمس كما قسم لبني هاشم وبنيالمطلبقال وكان أبو بكر يقسم الخمس نحو قسم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم غير أنه لم يكن يعطي قربى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يعطيهم قال وكان عمر بن الخطاب يعطيهم منهوعثمان بعده*
**Jubayr ibn Mut’im narrated that he and Uthman ibn Affan went to the Messenger of Allah to complain about his method of distributing khums, only between Banu Hashim and Banu Abdul Mutalib. I (Jubayr) said: “O Messenger of Allah, why do you give from the khums to Banu Hashim and Banu Abdul Mutalib and you give us nothing while we are equal with them in being related to you?” The Messenger of Allah replied “Only the Banu Hashim and Banu AbdulMutalib are equal in relationship with me!”
Jubayr said: He never gave any share of the khums to Banu Abd Shams and Banu Nawfil as he did to Banu Hashim and Banu AbdulMutalib. Abubakr used to distribute khums in this manner too, except that he did not give the close relatives of the Messenger of Allah what the Messenger of Allah used to give to them. Umar and Uthman used to give him some of it however.**
Albani declares it sahih.

One asks: why did Abubakr target the close relatives of the Holy Prophet (pbuh)?
