Brother Hani, check these references out for me!

The income of Fadak was used for military purposes
We read in Ahl’ul Sunnah’s esteemed work Insanul Ayun fi Seerah al Halabiyah,Volume 3, p487-488, Chapter “The death of the Prophet (s)”

“Umar was angry with Abu Bakr and said, “If you give Fadak back to Fatima, where the expenses for army and defence will come from for at present all the Arabs are fighting against you. He then took the papers of Fadak from Fatima (as), and tore them into shreds”.
 Insanul Ayun fi Seerah al Halabbiyah, Vol. 3, Page 487 & 488

As we have shown, the historical facts are clear that Fadak was property from which not only one family could live easily, but which could help maintain the entire army. Tragically, the State usurped it so that its political opponents, the family of the Prophet (s), would be weakened thus preventing any attempts to oppose them.

Who was this Mawlana??? What do you mean by "any narration is sufficient for us???".

[Hani]

Mawlana = beloved close friend. The member "Muhammad Moin" from HCY, he's also in our forum under "Moin".

I said his commentary on any narration is sufficient for us.
