Narrated 'Aishah, wife of Prophet (?):
Fatimah daughter of Messenger of Allah (?) sent a messenger to Abu Bakr demanding from him in inheritance of
 the Messenger of Allah (?) from what Allah bestowed on him at Medina and Fadak, and what remained of the fifth
 of Khaibar. Abu Bakr said: The Messenger of Allah (?) has said: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah.
 The family of Muhammad will eat from this property. I swear by Allah I shall not change it from the former condition
of its being sadaqah as it was in the time of the Messenger of Allah (?). I shall deal with it as the Messenger of
Allah dealt with it. Abu Bakr, therefore, refused to give anything to Fatimah from it.


Sunan Abi Dawud

 Book 19, Hadith 2966

Narrated Umar ibn AbdulAziz:
Al-Mughirah (ibn Shu'bah) said: Umar ibn AbdulAziz gathered the family of Marwan when he was made caliph, and he said:
 Fadak belonged to the Messenger of Allah (?), and he made contributions from it, showing repeated kindness to the poor
of the Banu Hashim from it, and supplying from it the cost of marriage for those who were unmarried. Fatimah asked him to
 give it to her, but he refused. That is how matters stood during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (?) till he
 passed on (i.e. died).
When AbuBakr was made ruler he administered it as the Prophet (?) had done in his lifetime till he passed on. Then when
Umar ibn al-Khattab was made ruler he administered it as they had done till he passed on. Then it was given to Marwan
as a fief, and it afterwards came to Umar ibn AbdulAziz.
Umar ibn AbdulAziz said: I consider I have no right to something which the Messenger of Allah (?) refused to Fatimah,
 and I call you to witness that I have restored it to its former condition; meaning in the time of the Messenger
of Allah (?).
Abu Dawud said: When 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz was made caliph its revenue was forty thousand dinars, and when he died
 its revenue was four hundred dinars. Had he remained alive, it would have been less than it.
