Aisha, wife of Prophet (pbuh) said: "I have never seen anyone as similar to the Prophet in his mannerisms, including sitting, talking and his attitude, than Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet. When she used to come in, he used to stand up to greet and kiss her and used to make her, sit in his sitting place. As well as this, when the Prophet used to visit her she used to stand up to greet and kiss him and used to ask him to sit in her sitting place."

The question about Fadak by Ibn Abi al-Hadid Mutazili to his teacher.

Why didn't the first caliph return Fadak to Hazrat Zahra (peace be upon her)?

Ibn Abi al-Hadid Mutazili said: I asked Ali bin Farqi if Hazrat Zahra,

peace be upon her, was telling the truth about Fadak. The teacher replied: "Yes!"

I asked, then why didn't Abu Bakr return Fadak to her, while Fatima (peace be upon her) was truthful?

The teacher answered with a smile:

"If Abu Bakr would have given Fadak to her on that day, she would have come to him the next day and claimed the caliphate for her husband and removed him from his place, and he would have no

excuse to defend himself at all. He knew that by returning Fadak, he would have to accept that Hazrat Zahra (peace be upon her) was truthful in every claim and does not need evidence or witnesses."

Ibn Abi al-Hadid also confirms this statement.
