Hadith 135

, we will strike with the sword until we are killed’. Ali-asws said: ‘Refrain, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on you, and remember the pact of Rasool-Allah-saww and what he-saww has bequeathed you with’. So, they refrained. Umar said to Abu Bakr, and he was seated at the top of the pulpit, ‘What makes you sit at the top of the pulpit and this seated fighter is not standing and pledging allegiance to you? Or, will you order with him-asws, and we will strike off his-asws neck? ’
And Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws were standing by the head of Ali-asws. When they-asws heard the words of Umar, they-asws cried and raised their-asws voices: ‘O grandfather-saww! O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’ Ali-asws hugged them-asws to his-asws chest and said: ‘Do not cry. By Allah-azwj! They are not able upon killing your-asws father-asws. They are both disgraceful and weak from that’. And Umm Ayman-ra, the special Nubian nurse-maid, and Umm Salama-ra came and said, ‘O Ateeq! How quickly you began your envy towards Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’. Umar ordered with them and they were expelled from the Masjid, and he said, ‘What have we to do with the women? ’
Then he said, ‘O Ali-asws! Stand and pledge allegiance! ’ Ali-asws said: ‘If I-asws I do not do so? ’ He said, ‘Then, by Allah-azwj, we will strike off your-asws neck’. He-asws said: ‘You are lying, by Allah-azwj, O Ibn Suhaak! You are unable upon that. You are lower and weaker than that’. Khalid Bin Al-Waleed leapt up and grabbed his sword and said, ‘By Allah-azwj! If you-asws do not do it, we will kill you-asws! ’ Ali-asws stood up to him and grabbed the generality of his clothes, then pushed him until he-asws threw him upon his hand, and the sword fell from his hand. Umar said, ‘Stand, O Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and pledge allegiance! ’ He-asws said: ‘Supposing I-asws do not do it? ’ He said, ‘Then, by Allah-azwj, we will kill you-asws’. And Ali-asws argued against him three times, then extended his-asws hand from without opening his-asws palm, and Abu Bakr hit upon it and was pleased with that, then he-asws headed to his-asws house, and the people followed. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then it reached (Syeda) Fatima-asws that Abu Bakr had seized (the estate of) Fadak. She-asws came out among womenfolk of the Clan of Hashim-asws until she-asws entered to see Abu Bakr, and she-asws said: ‘O Abu Bakr! You want to seize a land from me-asws which Rasool-Allah-saww had made it to be for me-asws, and the distinguished ones had testified with it upon me-asws, that it is which the Muslims did not make an expedition upon it, neither by horses nor camels, [59: 6]. Had not Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The person is preserved in his children? ’ And you have known that he-saww did not leave anything for his-saww children other than it’. When Abu Bakr heard her-asws words, and the womenfolk were with her-asws, he called for the ink in order to write it for her-asws. But, Umar entered and said, ‘O caliph of Rasool-Allah-saww!
