Assalamu Alaikkum
The Dinamalar article is not only mischivous but frivolous as
well.According to Buhari Ali(ra) did not offer bai`at to Abu
Bucker(ra) for six months as he did not accept his election as
Khalifa.When Fathima (ra) Ali(ra) and Abbas (ra)wanted to inherit the
Fadak properties Abubacker(ra) declined saying that the Prophet(saw)
did not leave that to be inherited by his family but allowed the
income from it to be shared by them.Ali (ra) did not speak to
Abubucker(ra) on account of this and when Fathima (ra) died he buried
her during the night without even informing the Khalifa.However
following the death people of Madina did not show Ali(ra) the same
affection which was accorded to him earlier and so he offered his
bai`at.
The shias have a different version of Fathima(ra)s death.They say
that Umar(ra) burnt her house and and caused her injury which resulted
in the abortion of the foetus named Muhsin.According to Sunnis Muhsin
died in his infancy after birth.This is reasonable as the sex of of
the unborn could not have been decided in advance and named.Stories
appearing in Dinamalar and other magazines do not verify the
authenticity and publish whatever their Muslim contact misinform
them.There is absolutely no truth that Fathima(ra) commited suicide.It
is some thing like some Indian Shias belief that Nubuwwat descended on
Muhammad (saw) instead of Ali(ra) .The Indian Shias even have a belief
that Ali is an avatar of Rama.The Sangh parivar is very fond of such
distortions and very gladly publish such canards.
Similarly the story of Hasan and Hussain.Hasan abdicated his Khalifath
to Muawiya(ra) after receiving a compensation of one hundred thosand
dhirhams.and was poisoned by one of his wives and died before the
Karbala massacre and Hussain (ra) was martyred during Yazids
Khalifate.There is no way for Fathima(ra) death to be linked which
happened just after the Prophet`(saw)s death.
