More References from Sunni Sources regarding incident of burning door

The following are some of the references requested as the traditions concerning the fact that Umar brutally attacked the house of Lady Fatima (peace be upon her) are too many and require a big amount of effort to be counted:

• al-Shahrastani, reported from Ibrahim ibn sayyar al-Mu’tazili al-Natham: “Umar kicked Fatima's stomach on the day of allegiance until she miscarried and he yelled: ‘Burn her house and whoever is in it’ and in it were Ali, Fatima, al-Hassan and al-Hussain” 

 (al-Milal wa al-Nihal, by al-Shahrastani v1, p 57)

• al-Safadi, also reported from al-Natham: “Umar kicked Fatima’s stomach on the day of allegiance until she miscarried Muhsin”  

(al-Wafi bil Wafiyat, by al-Safadi, v6, p 17)

• al-Baladhuri, reported from Sulaiman al-Taymi, from Abdullah bin Aon – who are believed to be Thuqat (trustworthy) by Sunnis:  “Abu Bakr asked Ali to support him, but Ali refused, then Umar went toward Ali's house with a burning torch. At the door he met Fatima who said to him: "Do you intend to burn the door of my house?" Umar said: "Yes”! 

(Ansab al-Ashraaf, by al-Baladhuri Ahmed bin Yahya bin Jaber al-Baghdadi, v1, p 586)

• Ibn Abd Rabbuh – who the Sunnis believe him to be a very trustworthy traditionist -  reported in regards to the ones who did not pay allegiance to Abu Bakr (May the curse of Allah be upon him): “They are Ali, al-Abbas, Zubair and Sa'd Ibn Ubadah. As for Ali, Abbas and Zubair, they stayed in the house of Fatima until Abu Bakr sent Umar to get them out of Fatima's house and told him: ‘if they refuse, fight them’. He took a torch to burn the house and Fatima met him and told him: ‘O’ son of Khattab are you here to burn our house?’ He said: ‘yes, or you enter what the Ummah has entered in’ [i.e swear allegiance to Abu Bakr]”. 

(al-Iqd al-Fareed, by Ibn Abd Rabbuh al-Andalusi, v5, p 13)

• Ibn Qutayba al-Danyuri, reported: “Umar asked for wood, and told those people inside the house (i.e. the house of Fatima peace be upon her): ‘I swear by Allah who has my soul in his hand, that if you do not come out, I will burn the house.’ Someone told Umar: ‘O Aba Hafs (i.e. father of Hafsa) Fatima is inside the house!’. Umar said: ‘So what! It doesn't matter to me who is in the house."  

(al-Imama wa al-Siyasa, by Ibn Qutayba, p 12)

• al-Juwayni al-Shafi’i, relying on the Isnad of Ibn Abbas, that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his pure family) said: “As for my daughter Fatima (peace be upon her), when I saw her, I remembered what she will have to endure after me. It is as if humiliation entered inside her house, violating her privacy, confiscating her rights, depriving her of her inheritance, breaking her side, causing her to miscarry as she will call: `O Muhammed!’ but there will be none to respond to her. She will seek help, but she will not be helped. She will remain after me grieved, depressed, weeping”  

(Fara'id al-Simtayn, by al-Juwayni al-Shafi’I, v2, p 34)

• al-Suyuti was among the ones who reported that Abu Bakr regretted what he had done to Lady Fatima (peace be upon her) as he said: “I wish I had not searched for Fatima’s house, and had not sent men to harass her." 

(Musnad Fatima by al-Siyuti p 34, Al-Mu'jam al-Kabeer by al-Tabarani v1 p 62, History of al-Tabari v3 p 430, al-Iqd al-Fareed, by Ibn Abd Rabbuh v2 p 254, and many more)
