Conflict Between Hazrat Fatima And Hazrat Abu Bakr And Its Resolution
I am already mostly aware of the things you have mentioned. But let’s remain on the topic. There is a narration, probably in Sunan Al Bahaiqi or somewhere else, which says that Hazrat Abu Bakkar Rz went to meet Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Fatima Rz during her illness, then talked about the issue and tried to convince her that his verdict is given rightfully. She endorsed her satisfaction and was happy thereafter. I am trying to find the exact reference and see if it’s Sanad is actually Sahih or not.
Found it! d. عن الشعبي أنه قال: (لما مرضت فاطمة أتاها أبو بكر الصديق فاستأذن عليها، فقال علي: يافاطمة هذا أبو بكر يستأذن عليك؟ فقالت: أتحب أن آذن له؟ قال: نعم، فأذنت له فدخل عليها يترضاها، فقال: والله ما تركت الدار والمال، والأهل والعشيرة، إلا إبتغاء مرضاة الله، ومرضاة رسوله، ومرضاتكم أهل البيت، ثم ترضاها حتى رضيت)- السنن الكبرى للبيهقي 6/301- “When Fatima became ill, Abu Bakr came to her and asked for permission to enter. So Ali said, ‘O Fatima, this is Abu Bakr asking for permission to enter.’ She answerd, ‘Do you want me to give him permission?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ So she allowed him (to enter), and he came in seeking her pleasure, so he told her: ‘By Allah, I only left my home and property and my family seeking the pleasure of Allah and His Messenger and you, O Ahlel Bayt.’ So he talked to her until she was pleased with him.” (Sunan Al-Bayhaqi, vol 6, page 301) This Hadith is narrated by Bayhaqi in al Sunan al Kubra (6:300-301) and Dala’il al-Nubuwwa (7:273-281) who said: “It is narrated with a good (hasan) chain.” Muhibb al Din al-Tabari cited it in al Riyad Al Nadira (2:96-97 #534) and Dhahabi in the Siyar (Ibid). لما مرضت فاطمة أتاها أبو بكر الصديق فاستأذن عليها فقال علي يا فاطمة هذا أبو بكر يستأذن عليك فقالت أتحب أن آذن له قال نعم فأذنت له فدخل عليها يترضاها فقال والله ما تركت الدار والمال والأهل والعشيرة إلا ابتغاء مرضاة الله ومرضاة رسوله ومرضاتكم أهل البيت ثم ترضاها حتى رضيت Al-Bayhaqi, Ibn Kathir, and Ibn Hajar all authenticate this hadith & Ibn Kathir states it as Sahih in his Al Bidayah and Ibn Hajar in his Fath Al Bari. وقال ابن حجر: «وهو وإن كان مرسلاً فاسناده إلى الشعبي صحيح»- فتح الباري 6/202Ibn hajar says : the mursal of Shuba [الشعبي] is sahih So the hadith is sahih as a whole.
My brother. Maybe, this tradition is classed as hasan by these great scholars. But, I don’t know what is the opinion of Ustad-e-Mohtaram (ha) on these. There is a scholar from Jehlum, his name is Engr. Muhammad Ali Mirza (ha). According to him, Syeda (rta) was not satisfied from Syedna Siddiq (rta), till her death. Although, he considers himself as the student of Ghamidi Sb. (ha). His opinions are much different from that of Ghamidi Sb. I considered his view to be authentic. Because, He tells the sahath of many hadith of this kind and because, I did not see the opinion of Ustad e Mohtaram on this matter. Moreover, I tried to help you in this regard. It would better if one of the respected moderators reply to you on this tradition.
