Sunnis in favor of their First Caliph , Abu Bakr. In the footnote of Sahih
Muslim, the commentator writes:
It was a sort of a misgiving on the part of the Hadrat Fatimah that Hadrat
Abu Bakr was reluctant to give the due share of her part of her great father.

when Her highness was bestowed by the Prophet (S) himself the title of al-
Siddiqah? How can the commentator accuse her of a misgiving when She was
also known as The Splendid One , The Chaste and The Pure One? How can any
Muslim accuse Her of a misgiving with the facts in mind that the Qur ’an
talks about her in the following Verses.
