The testimony of Sayyedah Fatemah (s.a.) with Imam Ja’far al Sadiq (a.s.)

 
The Eminent Traditionist Shaikh Kulaini relates from Abu Baseer that he says that Imam Ja'far as Sadiq (a.s.) told me, "Do you not wish that I should read out to you the testimony of Fatemah (s.a.)"? I replied in the affirmative. Imam al Sadiq (a.s.) pulled out a trunk and took a letter from that and read, "In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is the testimony willed by the daughter of the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) Fatemah (a.s.). I give the custodian of the seven gardens viz. 'Awaaf, Dalaal, Baraqah, Mabeet, Hasna, Safiyah and Mashrabah Umm Ibraheem to Amirul Mo’meneen Ali (a.s.). And after the death of Ali (a.s.), I will that it should go to my son Hasan (a.s.), and after him to Husain(a.s.), and after him it should be under the possession of the Most Eminent among my Progeny. And Allah (s.w.t.) is witness upon this testimony, and also Miqdad and Zubair are witness and this testimony is written at the hands of Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s.)".
 
The Eminent Scholar Sayyed Ibn Tawoos in his book Kashful Mahajjah writes that, "The Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.) and Amirul Mo’meneen Ali (a.s.) were not indigent, while it is not necessary that indigence should be among the qualities of piety". He addresses his son and says that, "Your grandfather Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) handed over Fadak and the other gardens to your mother Fatemah (s.a.) willingly, while the annual income and the output of Fadak and the other gardens, according to the narration by Shaikh Abdullah bin Hammad  Ansari, was twenty four thousand dinars. It is also related elsewhere that the income and output was equal to seventy thousand Dinars".
