In defense of the right to caliphate of Imam Ali (a) and in trying to reclaim the [[Usurpation of Fadak|usurped land of Fadak]], she delivered a speech that became famously known as the [[Fadakiyya sermon]]. After the passing away of the Holy Prophet (s), Fatima (a) was injured when a group of supporters of the first caliph, [[Abu Bakr]], attacked her home.

The blessed body of the Holy Prophet’s (a) daughter, by her own wish, was buried at night and in secret and the location of her grave remained unknown. | Not only was she staunchly opposed to the [[event of Saqifa]], but was adamant that with its commencement, the [[caliphate]] of the [[first caliph]] was one based and founded on usurpation and because of this she never gave her [[oath of allegiance]].
