It has been nearly a week that I have been asking you for the verses regarding Fadak from Qur'an and you have danced around the point without actually coming through on the challenge.
The Shia way to approach Fadak is as follows: claim that it belonged to Fatima [ra] ---> find obscure narrations, even if proven weak, to support her claim (more like to support the Shia lie for Fatima [ra] is innocent of what you attribute to her) ---> mangle up the Qur'an in order to make Qur'an 17:26 - although Meccan - fit the agenda.
The Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah way is to approach every issue through the Qur'an, Sunnah and then authentic historical reports. From the Qur'an alone, the most basic student of religion can conclude that Fadak cannot be inherited by, or gifted to, an individual or a group. Since your scholars never adopted this honest approach, I suggest you grab a notepad and a pen to take notes.
By the way, I have a feeling that you will reject the Qur'an in order to maintain Fatima's [ra] "infallibility". You have been warned yet you will do it. Trust me, I will be the one - at the end of it - to say, "didn't I tell you?"
Without further adieu, here is Fadak from the Qur'an.
There are two types of "booty" mentioned in the Qur'an. There might be more but these two are of our interest. Booty of war (
ghanimah) is booty taken in war whereas
Fay is booty acquired without a fight. It is common knowledge that Fadak was obtained without any battles or fighting. In other words, its transfer to Muslims was peaceful.
The Qur'an clearly outlines the rules for
Fay and its management (distribution).
Surah Al-Hashr (chapter 59), verses 6 through 10 deal with
Fay and since Fadak is
Fay, let us look at these verses.
"What God has bestowed on His Apostle (and taken away) from them - for this ye made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry: but God gives power to His apostles over any He pleases: and God has power over all things." (Qur'an 59:6)
How do we know this verse pertains to
Fay (and Fadak is considered
Fay as per its peaceful mode of transfer)? Because it clearly is talking about that which Allah [swt] bestowed on His Apostle [saw] while he (or Muslims in general) made no expedition, with cavalry or camelry, for it. Hence, the verse is in connection to
Fay and Fadak is
Fay.
"What God has bestowed on His Apostle (and taken away) from the people of the townships,- belongs to God,- to His Apostle and to kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer;
In order that it may not (merely) make a circuit between the wealthy among you. So take what the Apostle assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear God; for God is strict in Punishment." (Qur'an 59:7)
After naming who the beneficiaries are from such properties, Allah [swt] says, "in order that it may not make a circuit between the wealthy among you". In other words, this property must not be solely owned by one individual or an elite group. Therefore, the Qur'an leaves no room for any further argument. Gifting Fadak to anyone, or giving it away as inheritance, would be a violation of the Qur'an since it would have remained with one person (or a few) and its wealth would have made a circuit between them.
Let us read further.
"
(Some part is due) to the indigent Muhajirs, those who were expelled from their homes and their property, while seeking Grace from God and (His) Good Pleasure, and aiding God and His Apostle: such are indeed the sincere ones
But those who before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith,- show their affection to such as came to them for refuge, and entertain no desire in their hearts for things given to the (latter), but give them preference over themselves, even though poverty was their (own lot). And those saved from the covetousness of their own souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came before us into the Faith, and leave not, in our hearts, rancour (or sense of injury) against those who have believed. Our Lord! Thou art indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful." (Qur'an 59:8-10)
Let us recap those to whom
Fay belongs. To make it more specific to our discussion, these are the rightful beneficiaries of Fadak since Fadak is
Fay (due to its peaceful transfer to Muslims).
Allah [swt], His Apostle [saw], kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer (as per Qur'an 59:7), Muhajirs [as per Qur'an 59:8], Ansar (as per Qur'an 59:9) and even Tabi'een (as per Qur'an 59:10).
Now, Mr. Rafidhi, based on the fact that the Qur'an clearly forbids such properties to be exclusively owned (Qur'an 59:7) and it names various beneficiaries, on what basis do you write Fadak for Fatima [ra]?
Also, why is it that your scholars never ever quote these verses in regards to Fadak? Now you know who likes to present part of the picture, not the whole
