Fatima (A.S.) felt grieved by Abu Bakr’s actions, and was so displeased with him that when she knew of his attempt to seize Fadak, she accom- panied a group of women to themosque. There she sat down and de- livered the following speech:
Praise be to Allah for that which He bestowed (upon us); and thanks be to Him for allthat which He inspired; and commended in His Name for that which He Provided: Formprevalent favours which He created, And abundant benefactions which He offered and perfect grants which He presented; (such benefactions) that their number is much too plentiful to compute; Bounties too vast to measure; Their limit was too distant to realize; He recommended to them (His creatures) to gain more (of His benefaction) bybeing grateful for their continuity; He or- dained Himself praiseworthy by giving generously to His creatures; I bear witness that there is no God but Allah Who is One without partner, a statement which sincere devotion is made to be its interpreta- tion; hearts guarantee its continuation, and illuminated in the minds is its sensibility. He Who cannot be perceived with vision; neither be de- scribed with tongues; nor can imaginationsurround His state.
