21. Ibn Abdul Bar distorted the narration about Umar bin Al-Khattab threatning to burn the house of Fatima (s).

Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Sha'ybah (Died 235 AH) narrated like this : 

حدثنا محمد بن بشر، حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر، حدثنا زيد بن أسلم، عن أبيه أسلم: أنه حين بويع لأبي بكر بعد رسول الله كان علي والزبير يدخلان على فاطمة بنت رسول الله ﷺ فيشاورونها ويرتجعون في أمرهم، فلما بلغ ذلك عمر بن الخطاب خرج حتى دخل على فاطمة فقال:  يا بنت رسول الله، والله ما من الخلق أحد أحب إلينا من أبيك، وما من أحد أحب إلينا بعد أبيك منك، وايم الله ما ذاك بمانعي إن اجتمع هؤلاء النفر عندك أن آمر بهم أن يحرق عليهم البيت ...

Zaid bin Aslam narrates from his father Aslam who said : ‘When the pledge of allegiance was being paid to Abu Bakr after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Ali (as) and Zubair were entering into the house of Fatima (s) to consult her and revise their issue, so when Umar came to know about that, he went to Fatima (s) and said : ‘Oh daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ no one is dearest to us more than your father and no one dearest to us after your father than you, I swear by Allah, if these people gathered in your house then nothing will prevent me from giving order to burn the house and those who are inside....

Musanaf - Ibn Abi Sha'ybah // Volume 20 // Page 579 // Number 38200 // Edn. Dar ul Minhaj Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

Now same narration has been quoted by Ibn Abdul Bar Al-Qurtubi (Died 463 AH) but he hide the whole speech of Umar where he threatned Fatima (s) by using these words :

ولقد بلغني أن هؤلاء النفر يدخلون عليكِ، ولئن بلغني لأفعلن ولأفعلن

it reached to me that these people gathered in your house and if it reached me again i will do this and that.

Al-Iste'ab - Ibn Abdul Bar // Volume 3 // Page 975 // Edn. Dar ul Jaal Beriut Lebanon.

Note : He has also distorted the words of Fatima (s) in which she says that Umar even made swear by the name of Allah (swt) that he will definately do it.
