No dissension between Faatimah and ‘Ali and the other caliphs, may Allaah be pleased with them all

Question:

Was Fatima (daughter of Prophet Muhammad) against other Caliphs (Umer, Uthman and Abobaker)? The second part of my question is why didn't Ali and Fatima want their grave to be known?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

 

Neither Faatimah nor ‘Ali  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  them both, were in dissension against the other caliphs, namely Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  them. Faatimah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  her died during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, so she was not alive during the caliphate of ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  them.

She was buried in Al-Baqee’ graveyard with other Companions  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  them and she never ordered to keep her grave secret. Similarly, ‘Ali  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him did not order to keep his grave secret, as far as we know.

‘Ali  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him married off his daughter Umm Kulthoom, may Allaah pleased with her, (whom he had from Faatimah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  her) to ‘Umar  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him and ‘Ali  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him named one of his children Abu Bakr, and he, may Allaah pleased with him, named another one ‘Umar. There are other evidences which prove that they were all brothers loving each other for the sake of Allaah The Almighty, contrary to the claims of some ignorant and sinful people who insult and blaspheme the Companions of the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ).

For more benefit on the relationship between Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmaan, ‘Ali and Faatimah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  them all, please refer to Fatwa 90407, and to Fatwa 91131on why Faatimah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  her was not buried besides her father  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) and to Fatwa ">84666, on Umm Kulthoom  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  her the wife of ‘Umar  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him.

Allaah Knows best.
