ندخر دونك وأنت سيدة أمة أبيك والشجرة الطيبة لبنيك ، لا يدفع مالك من فضلك ولا يوضع من فرعك وأصلك ، حكمك نافذ فيها ملكت يداي ! ! !

do we store it away from you. And you are the mistress of your father's community and the goodly tree for your sons. Your property is not to be denied you out of your merit, nor is your branch and your root to be lowered. Your judgement is carried out in what my two hands have possessed!!!

فهل ترين أن أخالف في ذلك أباك صلى الله عليه وآله .

So do you see that I should oppose in this your father, may God bless him and his Family?

فقالت عليها السلام : سبحان الله ما كان أبي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عن كتاب الله صادفا ولا لأحكامه مخالفا بل كان يتبع أثره ويقفوا سوره أفتجمعون إلى العذر [ الغدر ] إعتلالا عليه بالزور وهذا بعد وفاته شبيه بما بغي له من الغوائل في حياته ، هذا كتاب الله حكما عدلا وناطقا فصلا يقول : * ( يرثني ويرث من آل يعقوب ) * 64 ، ويقول : * ( وورث سليمان داود ) * 65 فبين عز وجل فيما وزع عليه من الأقساط وشرع من الفرائض والميراث ، وأباح من حظ الذكران والإناث ما أزاح به علة المبطلين وأزال التظني والشبهات في الغابرين ، كلا بل سولت لكم أنفسكم أمرا فصبر جميل والله المستعان على ما تصفون .

So she said, peace be upon her: Glory be to God! My father, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his Family, was not one to turn away from the Book of God nor to oppose its rulings; rather he followed its traces and trod in the wake of its chapters. Will you then add to treachery a pretext against him with falsehood? And this, after his death, resembles the calamities that were plotted against him in his lifetime. This is the Book of God, a just judge and a decisive speaker; it says: “He shall inherit me and inherit from the House of Jacob”; [64] and it says: “And Solomon inherited David.” [65] So He, mighty and exalted, made clear in what He apportioned of the shares, and legislated of the obligations and the inheritance, and permitted of the portion of males and females, that by which He removed the pretext of the falsifiers and did away with conjecture and doubts among those who come after. Nay, rather your souls have enticed you to a thing; so a comely patience — and God is He whose help is sought against what you describe.

فقال أبو بكر : صدق الله وصدق رسوله وصدقت ابنته ، أنت معدن الحكمة وموطن الهدى والرحمة وركن الدين وعين الحجة ، لا أبعد صوابك ولا أنكر خطابك ، هؤلاء المسلمون بيني وبينك قلدوني ما تقلدت وباتفاق منهم أخذت ما أخذت ، غير مكابر ولا مستبد ولا مستأثر وهم بذلك شهود .

So Abu Bakr said: God has spoken truly, and His Messenger has spoken truly, and his daughter has spoken truly. You are the mine of wisdom and the dwelling of guidance and mercy, and the pillar of the religion and the source of the proof. I do not set your rightness far off, nor do I deny your address. These Muslims are between me and you; they invested me with what I have taken charge of, and by an agreement from them I took what I took, not overbearing nor arbitrary nor self-serving — and they are witnesses to that.

فالتفتت فاطمة صلوات الله عليها [ إلى الناس ] وقالت : معاشر الناس المسرعة إلى قيل باطل ، المغضية على الفعل القبيح الخاسر ، أفلا تتدبرون القرآن أم على قلوب أقفالها ؟

So Fatima, the blessings of God be upon her, turned [to the people] and said: O company of people, hasty towards a false saying, conniving at an ugly and ruinous deed! Will you not then ponder the Qur'an, or are there locks upon the hearts?

كلا بل ران على قلوبكم ما أسأتم من أعمالكم فأخذ بسمعكم وأبصاركم ولبئس ما تأولتم وساء ما به أشرتم

Nay, rather there has settled upon your hearts the rust of the evil you have done, so that it has seized your hearing and your sight. And evil is the interpretation you have made, and wretched is that to which you have pointed,
