Did Abu Bakr refuse to give Fatimah land left by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? Was the Prophet's sustenance limited to Fatimah alone? If not, then what is the reason for her being given the glad tidings that she is the mistress of the women of Paradise, to the exclusion of her sisters?

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was blessed with several sons and daughters. His glad tidings to Fatimah do not contradict the existence of her sisters, for she was the best among them. Abu Bakr's refusal to give Fatimah the inheritance of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is correct, because prophets do not leave inheritance, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "We do not leave inheritance; what we leave is charity." This was narrated by several Companions other than Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr appeased Fatimah and Ali, and they were pleased with him.
