Chapter:2 The Prophet’s (saws) prediction about whom he thought would be killed at Badr
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3950
Narrated Abdullah bin Masud from Sad bin Muadh: Sad bin Muadh was an intimate friend of Umaiya bin Khalaf. Whenever Umaiya passed through Medina, he used to stay with Sad, and whenever Sad went to Mecca, he used to stay with Umaiya. When Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) arrived at Medina, Sad went to perform Umra and stayed at Umaiya’s home in Mecca. He said to Umaiya, “Tell me of a time when the Mosque is empty so that I may be able to perform Tawaf around the Kaba." So Umaiya went with him about midday. Abu Jahl met them and said, "O Abu Safwan! Who is this man accompanying you?" He said, "He is Sad.” Abu Jahl addressed Sad saying, "I see you wandering about safely in Mecca despite having given shelter to the people who changed their religion and claimed that you would help and support them. By Allah, if you were not in the company of Abu Safwan, you would not be able to return to your family safely." Sad, raising his voice, said to him, “By Allah, if you stop me from doing this, I would certainly prevent you from something more valuable for you—your passage through Medina.” On this, Umaiya said, “O Sad, do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam, the chief of the people of the Valley." Sad said, “O Umaiya, stop that! By Allah, I heard Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) predicting that the Muslims will kill you.” Umaiya asked, “In Mecca?” Sad said, "I do not know." Umaiya was greatly alarmed by that news. When he returned to his family, he told his wife, "Sad claims that Muhammad has informed them they will kill me.” She asked, “In Mecca?” He replied, “I do not know.” Umaiya then said, “By Allah, I will never go out of Mecca.” But when the day of Badr came, Abu Jahl urged people to fight, saying, “Go and protect your caravan.” Umaiya disliked to go out but Abu Jahl pressured him, saying, “If the people see you staying behind though you are the chief of the Valley, they too will remain behind.” Finally, Umaiya agreed, saying, “As you forced me to change my mind, by Allah, I will buy the best camel in Mecca.” He prepared for the journey, but his wife reminded him of Sa’d’s warning. He replied, “I do not want to go with them except for a short distance.” On the march, Umaiya tied his camel wherever they camped. He continued this until Allah caused him to be killed at Badr.
Chapter:3 The story of the Ghazwa of Badr
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3951
Narrated Ka`b bin Malik: I never failed to join Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) in any of his Ghazawat except in the Ghazwa of Tabuk. However, I did not take part in the Ghazwa of Badr, but none who failed to take part in it was blamed, for Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) had gone out to meet the caravans of Quraish, but Allah caused them (i.e. Muslims) to meet their enemy unexpectedly with no prior intention.
Chapter:4 The Statement of Allah تعالى: “(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying: ‘I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession.’ Allah made it only as glad tidings, and that your hearts be at rest therewith. And there is no victory except from Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (Remember) when He covered you with a slumber as a security from Him, and He caused water (rain) to descend on you from the sky, to clean you thereby and to remove from you the Rijz (whispering, evil-suggestions) of Shaitan (Satan), and to strengthen your hearts, and make your feet firm thereby. (Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, ‘Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.’ This is because they defied and disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies and disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, Allah is Severe in punishment.” (V.8:9-13)
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3952
Narrated Ibn Masud: I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than anything had I been the hero of that scene. Al-Miqdad came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was urging the Muslims to fight the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, “We will not say as the People of Moses said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. But we shall fight on your right and on your left, in front of you and behind you.” I saw the face of the Prophet (peace be upon him) brighten with happiness, for that saying delighted him.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3953
Narrated Ibn Abbas: On the day of the battle of Badr, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “O Allah! I appeal to You to fulfill Your Covenant and Promise. O Allah! If Your Will is that none should worship You, then give victory to the pagans.” Then Abu Bakr took hold of him by the hand and said, “This is sufficient for you.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) came out saying, “Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs.”

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3973
Narrated Urwa (the son of Az-Zubair): Az-Zubair had three scars caused by the sword, one of which was over his shoulder and I used to insert my fingers in it. He received two of those wounds on the day of Badr and one on the day of Al-Yarmuk. When Abdullah bin Zubair was killed, Abdul-Malik bin Marwan said to me, “O Urwa, do you recognize the sword of Az-Zubair?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “What marks does it have?” I replied, “It has a dent in its sharp edge which was caused in it on the day of Badr.” Abdul-Malik said, “You are right! (i.e. their swords) have dents because of clashing with the regiments of the enemies.” Then Abdul-Malik returned that sword to me (i.e. Urwa). Hisham, Urwa’s son, said, “We estimated the price of the sword as three-thousand Dinars and after that it was taken by one of us (i.e. the inheritors) and I wish I could have had it.”

Narrated Urwa: On the day of the battle of Al-Yarmuk, the companions of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said to Az-Zubair, “Will you attack the enemy so that we shall attack them with you?” Az-Zubair replied, “If I attack them, you people would not support me.” They said, “No, we will support you.” So Az-Zubair attacked them (i.e. the Byzantines) and pierced through their lines, and went beyond them and none of his companions was with him. Then he returned and the enemy got hold of the bridle of his horse and struck him two blows with the sword on his shoulder. Between these two wounds there was a scar caused by a blow he had received on the day of Badr. When I was a child I used to play with those scars by putting my fingers in them. On that day my brother Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was also with him and he was ten years old. Az-Zubair had carried him on a horse and entrusted him to the care of some men.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3976
Narrated Abu Talha: On the day of Badr, the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered that the corpses of twenty-four leaders of Quraish should be thrown into one of the dirty dry wells of Badr. It was a habit of the Prophet (peace be upon him) that whenever he conquered some people, he used to stay at the battlefield for three nights. So, on the third day of the battle of Badr, he ordered that his she-camel be saddled, then he set out, and his companions followed him saying among themselves, “Definitely he (the Prophet) is proceeding for some great purpose.” When he halted at the edge of the well, he addressed the corpses of the Quraish infidels by their names and their fathers’ names, “O so-and-so, son of so-and-so, and O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! Would it have pleased you if you had obeyed Allah and His Apostle? We have found true what our Lord promised us. Have you too found true what your Lord promised you?” Umar said, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! You are speaking to bodies that have no souls!” Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, you do not hear what I say better than they do.” Qatada said, “Allah brought them to life again to let them hear him, to reprimand them, to belittle them, to take revenge over them, and to cause them to feel remorseful and regretful.”

(14:29)” Ibn Abbas said, “It means the Fire they will suffer from after their death on the day of Badr.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3978-3979
Narrated Hisham’s father: It was mentioned before Aisha that Ibn Umar attributed the following statement to the Prophet (peace be upon him): “The dead person is punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation of his family.” On that, Aisha said, “But Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, ‘The dead person is punished for his crimes and sins while his family cry over him then.” She added, “And this is similar to the statement of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) when he stood by the edge of the well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, ‘They hear what I say.’ She added, “But he said now they know very well what I used to tell them was the truth.” Aisha then recited: ‘You cannot make the dead hear.’ (30:52) and ‘You cannot make those who are in their graves hear you.’ (35:22) that is, when they had taken their places in the Fire.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3980-3981

Chapter:9 Superiority of those who fought the battle of Badr
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3982
Narrated Anas: Haritha was martyred on the day of the battle of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in Paradise, I shall remain patient and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see what I do?” He said, “May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the most superior Paradise of Al-Firdaus.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3983
Narrated Ali: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) sent me, Abu Marthad, and Az-Zubair, and all of us were riding horses, and said, “Go till you reach Raudat-Khakh where there is a pagan woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta’a to the pagans of Mecca.” So we found her riding her camel at the place which Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) had mentioned. We said to her, “Give us the letter.” She said, “I have no letter.” Then we made her camel kneel down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said, “Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) had not told us a lie, certainly. Take out the letter, otherwise we will strip you naked.” When she saw that we were determined, she put her hand below her waist belt, for she had tied her cloak around her waist, and she took out the letter. We brought her to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him). Then Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! This Hatib has betrayed Allah, His Apostle, and the believers! Let me cut off his neck!” The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked Hatib, “What made you do this?” Hatib said, “By Allah, I did not intend to give up my belief in Allah and His Apostle, but I wanted to have some influence among the Mecca people so that through it Allah might protect my family and property. There is none of your companions but has some of his relatives there through whom Allah protects his family and property.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “He has spoken the truth; do not say to him anything but good.” Umar said, “He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle, and the faithful believers. Let me cut off his neck!” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Is he not one of the Badr warriors? Perhaps Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, ‘Do whatever you like, for I have granted you Paradise,’ or He said, ‘I have forgiven you.'” On this, tears came out of Umar’s eyes, and he said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.”

Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Auf: While I was fighting in the front line on the day of Badr, suddenly I looked behind and saw on my right and left two young boys and did not feel safe standing between them. Then one of them asked me secretly so that his companion may not hear, “O Uncle! Show me Abu Jahl.” I said, “O nephew! What will you do to him?” He said, “I have promised Allah that if I see him, I will either kill him or be killed before I kill him.” Then the other said the same to me secretly so that his companion would not hear. I would not have been pleased to be between two other men instead of them. Then I pointed Abu Jahl out to them. Both of them attacked him like two hawks till they knocked him down. Those two boys were the sons of Afra.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3989
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) sent out ten spies under the command of Asim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grandfather of Asim bin Umar bin Al-Khattab. When they reached a place called Al-Hadah between Usfan and Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps until they found the traces of dates which the Muslims had eaten at one of their camping places. They said, “These dates are from Yathrib,” and went on tracing their footsteps. When Asim and his companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a high place. The enemy encircled them and said, “Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not kill anyone of you.” Asim bin Thabit said, “O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform Your Prophet about us.” So the archers threw their arrows at them and martyred Asim. Three of them came down and surrendered, accepting their promise and covenant. They were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina, and another man. When the archers got hold of them, they tied them with the strings of their bows. The third man said, “This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you, for I follow the example of my slain companions.” The archers dragged him and struggled with him until they killed him. Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken to Mecca and sold as slaves after the battle of Badr. The sons of Al-Harith bin Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib, for he had killed their father at Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned until they decided to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed a razor from a daughter of Al-Harith, and by chance, a small boy of hers went to him while she was inattentive. She saw Khubaib with the boy seated on his thigh while the razor was in his hand. She was terrified, but Khubaib noticed her fear and said, “Are you afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing.” Later she said, “By Allah, I never saw a better captive than Khubaib. One day I saw him eating grapes in his hand while he was chained, and there was no fruit in Mecca. It was food Allah had provided for him.” When they took him outside the sanctuary to kill him, Khubaib asked, “Allow me to offer a two-rakat prayer." They allowed him, and he prayed two rakat and then said, “By Allah, had I not feared you would think I was afraid, I would have prayed more.” Then he supplicated, “O Allah! Count them, kill them one by one, and do not leave anyone of them.” Then he recited poetry: “As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I am killed, for this is for the cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless my torn limbs.” Then Uqba bin Al-Harith killed him. It was Khubaib who set the tradition of praying two rak`at before execution for any Muslim taken captive. The Prophet (peace be upon him) told his companions what had happened to them on the very same day. Later, some Quraish sent men to bring back part of Asim’s body as proof of his death, for he had killed one of their leaders at Badr. But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to protect Asim’s body so that they could not cut anything from him.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3990
Narrated Nafi: Ibn Umar was once told that Said bin Zaid bin Amr bin Nufail, one of the Badr warriors, had fallen ill on a Friday. Ibn Umar rode to him late in the forenoon. The time of the Friday prayer approached, and Ibn Umar did not attend the Friday prayer.

Narrated Subaia bint Al-Harith: She was married to Sad bin Khaula, who was from the tribe of Bani Amr bin Luai and was one of those who fought at Badr. He died while she was pregnant during Hajjat-ul-Wada. Soon after his death, she gave birth to a child. When she completed her post-delivery period, she prepared herself for suitors. Abu As-Sanabil bin Bu’kak, a man from the tribe of Bani Abd-ud-Dar, came to her and said, “I see you dressed up for marriage. Do you want to marry? By Allah, you are not allowed to marry until four months and ten days have elapsed after your husband’s death.” Subaia said, “When he said this to me, I dressed myself in the evening and went to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and asked him about this matter. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had already given birth to my child and ordered me to marry if I wished.”

Qatada said, “After your departure, an order was issued by the Prophet (peace be upon him) cancelling the prohibition of eating sacrifices after three days.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3998
Narrated Urwa: Az-Zubair said, "I met Ubaida bin Said bin Al-As on the day of the battle of Badr and he was covered with armor so much that only his eyes were visible. He was surnamed Abu Dhat-al-Karish. He said proudly, ‘I am Abu-al-Karish.’ I attacked him with the spear and pierced his eye and he died. I put my foot over his body to pull the spear out, but even then I had to use great force to take it out as both its ends were bent.” Urwa said, "Later on Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) asked Az-Zubair for the spear and he gave it to him. When Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) died, Az-Zubair took it back. After that Abu Bakr demanded it and he gave it to him, and when Abu Bakr died, Az-Zubair took it back. Umar then demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When Umar died, Az-Zubair took it back, and then Uthman demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When Uthman was martyred, the spear remained with Ali’s offspring. Then `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair demanded it back, and it remained with him till he was martyred.”

Salim was a freed slave of an Ansari woman. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) also adopted Zaid as his son. In the pre-Islamic period of ignorance, the custom was that if one adopted a son, the people would call him by the name of the adopted father whom he would inherit as well, until Allah revealed: “Call them (adopted sons) by the names of their fathers.” (Qur’an 33:5)

Narrated Ar-Rubai bint Mu‘awwidh: The Prophet (peace be upon him) came to me the night my marriage was consummated and sat down on my bed as you (the sub-narrator) are sitting now, and small girls were beating the tambourine and singing in lamentation of my father who had been killed on the day of the battle of Badr.

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4003
Narrated `Ali: I had a she-camel which I got in my share from the booty of the battle of Badr, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) had given me another she-camel from the Khumus which Allah had bestowed on him that day. When I intended to celebrate my marriage to Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him), I made an arrangement with a goldsmith from Bani Qainuqa that he should go with me to bring Idhkhir (a kind of grass used by goldsmiths) which I intended to sell to goldsmiths in order to spend its price on the marriage banquet. While I was collecting ropes and sacks of pack saddles for my two she-camels which were kneeling down beside an Ansari’s dwelling, I suddenly found that the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and their flanks had been cut open and portions of their livers had been taken out. On seeing that, I could not help weeping. I asked, “Who has done that?” They said, “Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib has done it. He is present in this house with some Ansari drinkers, a girl singer, and his friends. The singer said in her song, ‘O Hamza, get at the fat she-camels!’ On hearing this, Hamza rushed to his sword and cut off the camels’ humps and flanks and took out portions from their livers.” Then I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him), with whom Zaid bin Haritha was present. The Prophet (peace be upon him) noticed my state and asked, “What is the matter?” I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him), I have never experienced such a day as today! Hamza attacked my two she-camels, cut off their humps and flanks, and he is still present in a house with some drinkers.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked for his cloak, put it on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin Haritha and myself, until he reached the house where Hamza was. He asked permission to enter, and he was permitted. The Prophet (peace be upon him) started blaming Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet (peace be upon him), then raised his eyes to his knees, then to his face, and said, “You are nothing but my father’s slaves.” When the Prophet (peace be upon him) realized Hamza was drunk, he retreated, walking backwards, and we left with him.

He said, ‘I will think it over.’ After some days he said, ‘I have decided not to marry at present.’ Then I met Abu Bakr and said, ‘If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint Umar to you.' He kept quiet and gave no reply, which made me more upset with him than with Uthman. After some days, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) asked for her hand, and I married her to him. Later Abu Bakr met me and said, ‘Perhaps you were upset with me when you offered Hafsa to me and I gave no reply?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except that I knew Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) had mentioned her, and I did not want to disclose his secret. Had he given her up, I would surely have married her.'”

So Abu ‘Ubaida arrived with the money from Bahrain. When the Ansar heard of the arrival of Abu ‘Ubaida, they offered the morning prayer with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and when the prayer finished, they presented themselves before him. On seeing them, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) smiled and said, ‘I think you have heard that Abu ‘Ubaida has brought something?’ They replied, ‘Indeed, it is so, O Allah’s Apostle!’ He said, ‘Be happy, and hope for what will please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that you will be poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be bestowed upon you as it was bestowed upon those who lived before you. So you will compete amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy you as it did them.'”

But he cut off one of my two hands, and then he uttered those words?” Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) replied, “You should not kill him, for if you kill him, he would be in your position where you had been before killing him, and you would be in his position where he had been before uttering those words.”

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4028

He then killed their men and distributed their women, children, and property among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he granted them safety; they embraced Islam. All the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of Abdullah bin Salam, the Jews of Bani Haritha, and all other Jews of Medina were exiled.

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4032
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (peace be upon him) burnt the date-palm trees of Bani An-Nadir. Hassan bin Thabit composed poetic verses about this event. Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith, the Prophet’s cousin who was still a disbeliever then, responded with his own poetry concerning the burning.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4033, 4034
Narrated Malik bin Aus Al-Hadathan An-Nasri: Once Umar bin Al-Khattab called Malik, and while he was sitting with him, his gatekeeper, Yarfa, came and said, "Will you admit Uthman, Abdur-Rahman bin Auf, Az-Zubair, and Sad (bin Abi Waqqas) who are waiting for your permission?" Umar said, “Yes, let them come in.” After a while, Yarfa came again and said, “Will you admit Ali and Abbas who are asking your permission?” Umar said, "Yes." When the two entered, Abbas said, “O chief of the believers! Judge between me and Ali." Both of them had a dispute regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai (booty gained without fighting). Ali and Abbas started reproaching each other. The people present, including Uthman and his companions, said, “O chief of the believers! Give your verdict and relieve each from the other.”
`Umar said, “Wait, I beseech you, by Allah, by Whose Permission both the heaven and the earth stand! Do you know that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, ‘We (Prophets) our properties are not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in charity,’ and he said it about himself?” They replied, “He did say it.”
Umar then turned towards Ali and Abbas and said, "I beseech you both, by Allah! Do you know that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said this?" They replied in the affirmative. Umar continued, “Allah the Glorified favored His Apostle with something of this Fai which He did not give to anybody else. Allah said: ‘And what Allah gave to His Apostle from them—for which you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry. But Allah gives power to His Apostles over whomsoever He will, and Allah is able to do all things’ (59:6). This property was especially granted to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him). But by Allah, the Prophet neither took it all for himself only, nor deprived you of it, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it among you. From this, he used to spend the yearly maintenance for his family, and whatever remained, he used in charity.”
`Umar continued, “Then he died, and Abu Bakr said, ‘I am the successor of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him).’ He took charge of this property and disposed of it as the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to do. Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die, and I said, ‘I am the successor of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr.’ I kept this property in my possession for the first two years of my rule and disposed of it as the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr did. Later, both of you came to me claiming the same property. I asked you to promise that you would dispose of it in the same way as the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr did. You agreed, and I handed it over to you. By Allah, with Whose Permission both the sky and the earth stand, I will never give any decision other than that until the Last Hour. If you cannot manage it, return it to me and I will manage it on your behalf.”
The sub-narrator said, “Urwa bin Az-Zubair confirmed Malik bin Aus told the truth." Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him), added, "The wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent Uthman to Abu Bakr demanding their share of the Fai, but I opposed them and reminded them that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ‘Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity.’ The family of Muhammad could take sustenance from this property.” The property of Sadaqa then passed to Ali, then Hasan bin Ali, Husain bin `Ali, Ali bin Husain, Hasan bin Hasan, and finally Zaid bin Hasan, each managing it in turn. It was truly the Sadaqa of Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him).
Sahih al-Bukhari 4035, 4036
Narrated `Aisha: Fatima and Al-`Abbas came to Abu Bakr claiming inheritance of the Prophet’s land of Fadak and his share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said, “I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying, ‘Our property is not inherited, and whatever we leave is to be given in charity. But the family of Muhammad can take their sustenance from this property.’ By Allah, I would love to do good to the kith and kin of Allah’s Apostle rather than to my own kith and kin.”
