The lesson
- After the passing of the Messenger of God, Abu Bakr took Fadak from her (al-Saqifa wa Fadak of al-Jawhari). She brought proofs and witnesses, and he wrote her the deed; Umar took the deed and tore it. Some sources (al-Ikhtisas of al-Mufid; al-Sira al-Halabiyya) narrate that he struck her.
- In the Prophet's mosque, before the Emigrants and the Helpers, she delivered the Fadakiyya sermon, also called the sermon of al-Lumma, claiming her inheritance from the Book of God and defending the right of Imam Ali (Dala'il al-Imama; al-Ihtijaj).
- Those who refused the allegiance (Imam Ali, Banu Hashim, al-Abbas, Salman, Abu Dhar, al-Miqdad, Ammar) gathered in her house. They were threatened that the house would be burned (al-Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shayba); Ibn Abd Rabbih (al-'Iqd al-Farid) records that Abu Bakr ordered it attacked. When she warned the attackers she would complain to God, they left (Tarikh al-Ya'qubi).
