Is it true that Fatimah al-Zahra disagreed with Abu Bakr and Umar concerning her inheritance from the Messenger of Allah, and that sheWilled that they should not pray over her or bury her?

A Muslim must respect the Companions, venerate them, and be pleased with them, and interpret any disagreements that occurred between them in the best possible light. The disagreement that took place between Fatimah and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with both of them) has been previously explained. As for her alleged directive that Abu Bakr and Umar should not pray over her or bury her, this is a lie and a fabrication, and there is no proof for it in the reliable books of the Sunnis.
