Editing Fatima (section)

==Political Involvement==
She seems to have performed only three acts of political significance, each recorded in almost all sources, both [[Sunni]] and [[Shiʿa|Shiʿite]], though in different versions. First, after the conquest of Mecca she refused her protection to [[Abu Sufyan]]; 

=== The Incident of Saqifa ===
Second, after the death of the Prophet she courageously defended ʿAli’s cause, fiercely opposed the election of Abu Bakr, and had disputes with him and particularly with ʿOmar.

=== The Usurpation of Fadak ===
Third, she laid claim to the property rights of her father and challenged Abu Bakr’s categorical refusal to cede them, particularly Fadak and a share in the produce of Khaybar.
