Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The attack on the house of Fatima Zahra (AS) has been admitted by leading Sunni leaders including Abu Bakr himself who openly said when he was about to die that I wish that I did not attack the house of Fatima even if it was a center  of war against me. This is narrated by eminent Sunni scholars like:
1. Al-Tabarani in al-Mo'jam al-Kabeer , 
2. al-Dhahabi  in Meesan al-E'tidaal,
3. Ibn Qutaiba and quoted by Ibn A'bd Rabbih in his book al-E'qd al-Fareed.

Did Asma Bint Umays leave Abu Bakr after the attack on the door of Lady Fatima az-Zahra (sa)?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Asma Bint Umays was always a pious lady, all along her life as she was one of the sincere followers and servants of Ahlul Bayt (A.S.). She never accepted bad deeds of others, but was patient and tolerant like the wife of Firaun, who was one of the great believing ladies despite the bad behaviour of her husband.

Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The house of Lady Fatima AS was being attacked by a group of Saqeefah people to force her and her husband and her family to give allegiance to the Saqeefah government. that was the reason of the very early demise of Lady Fatima AS. We believe that That attack was the reason for her martyrdom.
