He said: Abul Hasan Ali b. Muhammad al-Katib reported to me from al-Hasan b. Ali al-Zafarani, who reported from Ibrahim b. Muhammad al-Thaqafi, who reported from Abu Ismail al-Attar, from Ibn Luhaya'h, from Abul Aswad, from Urwah b. al-Zubayr that:
When people swore allegiance to abu bakr, FATIMA (SAWS) , the daughter of (PROPHET MUHAMMAD, peace be upon him and his progeny), came to the door of her house and said: "Never have I witnessed a day like this. They have indeed, set a worst record. They left their PROPHET (SAWW), with his corpse in our midst and preoccupied themselves with the matter (of succession) without us."
