Abu Bakr Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Ibn Uthman Abasi Kufi, famous as Ibn Abi
Shaybah (exp. 235 A.H.) in his book ‘AlMusannaf’, vol. 7, p. 432, Tr.
No. 37045, first edition, Beirut (circa1409 A.H.), narrates a tradition
on the, authority of Aslam Certainly, after the demise of the Messenger
of Allah (s.a.w.w).
When they were extracting allegiance for Abu Bakr, Ali (a.s) and Zubair
were with Fatemah (a.s), the daughter of the Messenger of Allah
(s.a.w.w), consulting her and taking her view on the issue. The moment Umar heard of this, immediately he left for the house of Fatemah (s.a) and said:
“O daughter of Allah (s.w.t)’s Messenger (s.a.w.w)! By Allah (s.w.t)!
None is dearer to me than your father and none after him is more
important for me than you. But by Allah (s.w.t)! This love and affection
will not stop me from ordering to set ablaze your house due to these
persons who have gathered in it.”
As soon as Umar left, Fatemah (s.a) came to Ali (a.s) and Zubair and said,
“Do you know what Umar said to me? He
swore by Allah (s.w.t) that if you don’t come out of the house, he will
set my house on fire and by Allah (s.w.t), he will certainly do it.”

single binding), under the chapter captioned, ‘Mode of Allegiance by Ali
(k.v*)’ vide his chain of narrators citing on the authority of
Abdullah Ibn Abdur Rehmaan Ansaari writes Verily.
One day Abu Bakr enquired about those who refused to pay allegiance to him and had gathered around Ali (a.s). He dispatched Umar to pursue them while they had gathered in the house of Ali (a.s). When they declined to emerge from the house, Umar thundered, ‘Pile the firewood’ and screamed at the inmates:
“I swear by the One in whose hands, is Umar’s life! Come out, otherwise I will burn down the house along with its inmates.”
Somebody asked:
“O Aba Hafs! Are you aware that Fatemah (s.a) is present in this house?”
Umar shouted back:
“I don’t care, even if Fatemah is present in the house.”
* k.v. = Karramallah vajhahu which means May Allah honour his face, a
term used by the Ahle Sunnah in reverence of Ali (a.s) as he was the
first one to believe in the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w)

Similarly, Yaqoobi in his History, vol. 2, p. 137 printed at Beirut, under the chapter, ‘Reign of Abu Bakr’ writes:
When Abu Bakr became fatally ill, the illness that ultimately led to his
death, Abdur Rahman Ibn Auf went to visit him and enquired:
“O Caliph of Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.w)! How are you?”
Abu Bakr replied:
“Certainly, I don’t regret anything but three deeds ands how I wish I
had not committed them... Those three things that I committed and wished
I had not committed them were as follows!
How I wish I had not worn the leash of caliphate, How I wish I had not
raided the house of Fatemah (s.a) and ordered to attack its inmates,
even if they had declared a war against me.”

“O son of Khattab! Am I seeing you set fire to my house?”
Umar replied:
“Yes! And I am as much insistent, firm and steadfast on this task as your father was on the religion which he had brought.”

Ibn Abd al-Rahmaan al,Ansaari .
Thereafter Abu Bakr ruled for two years and a few months, when he fell fatally ill and during, this illness, he confessed:
“Certainly, intense pain has overcome me… I swear by Allah (s.w.t)! I
don’t regret anything from my life but for three acts that I committed.
How I wished I had not committed them, how I wish I had left alone the
house of Ali (a.s) even if they had declared a war against me!”

When Ali (a.s) declined paying allegiance to Abu’ Bakr and opted for isolation in his house, Abu Bakr dispatched Umar to Ali (a.s) with the command,
“Present Ali before me in the worst possible manner.”
When Umar came to Ali (a.s), there was a heated exchange of words between the two. Ali (a.s) remarked:
“O Umar! Carry on your shoulders half of
which is your wealth. By Allah (s.w.t)! Nothing has made you greedy for
the government and rule of Abu Bakr except for the fact that tomorrow,
he will hand it over to you.”

At this juncture, Umar went towards the house of Fatemah (s.a) with some fire to burn it down, when he encountered Fatemah (s.a), who asked:
“Where are you going, O son of Khattaab? Have you come to burn our house down?”
Umar replied:
“Yes. I will relent only if those who are within the house pay allegiance to Abu Bakr like the Ummah has done.”

spoken it I will burn down your house so that none remains in it if you
don’t pay allegiance, even if the daughter of Muhammad (s.a.w.w) is in

the bravest of all soldiers and one from the lineage of Adnan (viz.
Ali).”

The children of Fatemah (s.a) were: Hassan (a.s), Hussain (a.s), Zainab
(s.a), Umme Kulthum (s.a) and of course, Mohsin (a.s), the martyr who
was killed by the strike of Fanqadh Adwi”
The author says In the modern edition of the book, al-Maaref, of Ibn
Qutaybah, it is written, “Ali [a.s.] had a few children, whose names
were as follows: Hassan (a.s), Hussain (a.s), Mohsin (a.s), Umm Kulthum
(s.a) and Zainab e Kubra (s.a) their mother was Fatemah Zahra (s.a),
the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w). But Mohsin (a.s) Ibn
Ali (a.s) died when he was an infant.”

circa 1382 A.H., (two volumes in a single binding), vol. 1, p. 13,
after, mentioning the chain of narrators, writes:
After some time had passed, Umar said to Abu Bakr,
“Come let us go to Fatemah (s.a) as we have angered her.”
Agreeing to the suggestion, both went to the house of Fatemah (s.a), who
refused them leave to enter. Helplessly, they went to Ali (a.s),
talked with him so that he may request Fatemah (s.a) on their behalf to
meet them finally, when these two sat in front of Fatemah (s.a), she
turned her face away from these two and sat facing the wall. At this
moment, both of them greeted (salaam) Fatemah (s.a) but she refused to
reply. Thus, Abu Bakr initiated the conversation with her and said:
“O beloved of Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.w)! Have we angered you
concerning the inheritance of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w) and that
of your husband?”
Fatemah (s.a) replied:
“What’s the matter with you? Your family members inherit from you while we cannot inherit from Muhammad (s.a.w.w)?”
Thereafter Fatemah (s.a) said:
“If I cite a tradition from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w), will you accept and believe in it?”
Umar and Abu Bakr replied, “Yes!”
Fatemah (s.a) informed:
“Take oath on Allah (s.w.t) and state, did you not hear the Messenger of
Allah (s.a.w.w) say, Fatemah (s.a)’s satisfaction is my satisfaction
and Fatemah’s wrath is my wrath. Thus, whosoever loves my daughter
Fatemah, loves me and whoever makes her happy has made me happy. Whoever
makes Fatemah angry has made me angry.”
Both of them said:
“Yes, of course, we have indeed heard this from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w).”
Fatemah (s.a) retorted,
“Then, verily, I hold Allah and the angels as witnesses that you two
have angered me and have not been the cause of joy for me. Whenever I
meet the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w) I will complain to him about you
two.”
Hearing this Abu Bakr started crying, while Fatemah (s.a) was saying:
“By Allah (s.w.t)! I curse you (Abu Bakr) after every prayer that I perform.”

Umar Reza Kahhaleh, a contemporary Sunni
scholar, in his famous book, A’laam al-Nisaa, Beirut Edition, circa
1404 A.H., vol. 4, pp. ,122-124, writes:
Thereafter, Abu Bakr said to Umar, “Come, let’s go to Fatemah (s.a) as we have angered her.”
After agreeing upon this suggestion, both of them went to the house of
Fatemah (s.a) they sought permission from her to enter the house but she
refused they went to Ali (a.s) and talked to him. Ali (a.s) brought
the two of them to Fatemah (s.a).
When they sat in front of her, she turned her face away from them and sat facing the wall. Abu Bakr and Umar
both greeted her but she did not reply to their greetings. Abu Bakr
initiated the conversation with her. When his talk ended, Fatemah (s.a)
said to him:
“If I relate a tradition from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w) to you, will you listen to it and act upon it?”
Umar and Abu Bakr said to Fatemah (s.a):
“Yes.”
Fatemah (s.a) said:
“I take Allah (s.w.t)’s oath from both of you; did you not hear the
Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w) say, ‘Fatemah (s.a)’s satisfaction is my
satisfaction and her anger is my anger? Thus, whosoever loves my
daughter Fatemah (s.a), loves me and whoever makes her happy has made me
happy. Whoever makes Fatemah (s.a) angry has made me angry.”
Both of them said:
“Yes, of course, we have indeed heard this from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w).”
Fatemah (s.a) reported:
“Then, verily, I hold Allah and the angels as witnesses that you two
have angered me and have not been the cause of joy for me. Whenever I
meet the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w), I will complain to him about you
two.”
Now after reading these references our sunni brothers should not blame us for whatever ideas we have regarding Umar.
Its an established facts from authentic Sunni books that Umar oppressed Fatima. And this has became the main cause of Shias cursing Umar.
