Question

We read in the selectio hadith of Muslim compiled by Imam Mundziri that once Rasulullaah owned a land and Abu Bakar insisted that the land will only be distributed to the ummahatul mu’minin not to his daughter / son. Fatimah got upset, so he did not speak to Abu Bakar up to her death.

Answer

After Faatima [radhiallaahu anha] realized the ruling pertaining to the Prophet’s inheritance, she never spoke to Abu Bakr [radhiallaahu anhu] regarding it (inheritance) for the rest of her life. (al-Minhaaj; Sharh Muslim)

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
