Umar threatens Fatimah
Question:
Do the innovators report that Umar wanted to burn down the house of Fatimah (a.)?
Answer:
Abdullah Ibn Abbas reported that Umar Ibn Al-Khattab said: “When the Prophet Muhammad (s.) died, we learned that the helpers from Medina were against us and held a meeting with their people in Saqifah, with the sons of Sa’adah, and Ali and Az-Zubair and those who were with them were against us.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith 6442]
حدثنا عبد العزيز بن عبد الله حدثني إبراهيم بن سعد عن صالح عن ابن شهاب عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة بن مسعود عن ابن عباس قال: قال عمر بن الخطاب: وإنه قد كان من خبرنا حين توفى الله نبيه صلى الله عليه وسلم أن الأنصار خالفونا واجتمعوا بأسرهم في سقيفة بني ساعدة وخالف عنا علي والزبير ومن معهما
[ 1. ] Muhammad Ibn Bishr reported from [ 2. ] Ubaidullah Ibn Umar, who reported from [ 3. ] Zaid Ibn Aslam, who reported from his father [ 4. ] Aslam Al-Adawi, who reported that at the time when Abu Bakr took the oath of allegiance after the Prophet Muhammad (s ) – Ali (a.) and Az-Zubair used to come in to Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger (s.), to consult with her and check her affairs. When Umar Ibn Al-Khattab heard of this, he set out until he came in to Fatimah (a.). Umar said: “O daughter of the Messenger, by Allah, there is no one whom we love more than your father, and there is no one whom we love more after your father than you, and I swear by Allah that if this group gathers with you, this will not prevent me from giving the order to burn down the house over them!” When Umar left, the two of them came to her and she said: “Are you aware that Umar came to me and swore by God that when you came back, he would burn down the house over you? I swear by God that if he swears to it, he will do so. Move away considerate and reconsider your views and do not return to me!” So they moved away from her and they did not return to her until they took the oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr.” [Al-Musannaf by Ibn Abi Shaibah, Volume 8, Page 572, Hadith 36348]
حدثنا حدثنا محمد بن بشر حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر حدثنا زيد بن أسلم عن أبيه أسلم أنه حين بويع لأبي بكر بعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، كان علي والزبير يدخلان على فاطمة بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فيشاورونها، ويرتجعون في أمرهم، فلما بلغ ذلك عمر بن الخطاب خرج حتى دخل على فاطمة، فقال يا بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، والله ما من أحد أحب إلينا من أبيك، وما من أحد أحب إلينا بعد أبيك منك وايم الله ما ذاك بمانعي إن اجتمع هؤلاء النفر عندك، أن آمر بهم أن يحرق عليهم البيت قال فلما خرج عمر جاءوها فقالت تعلمون أن عمر قد جاءني وقد حلف بالله لئن عدتم ليحرقن عليكم البيت، وايم الله ليمضين لما حلف عليه، فانصرفوا راشدين فروا رأيكم ولا ترجعوا إلي. فانصرفوا عنها فلم يرجعوا إليها حتى بايعوا لأبي بكر
