Description:
We read in Musnad Ahmad b. Hanbal, Vol 1, pg. 191 - 192, H # 14 the following tradition:

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ - وَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ - قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْسَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ: أَنْتَ وَرِثْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَمْ أَهْلُهُ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: لَا، بَلْ أَهْلُهُ. قَالَتْ: فَأَيْنَ سَهْمُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، إِذَا أَطْعَمَ نَبِيًّا طُعْمَةً، ثُمَّ قَبَضَهُ جَعَلَهُ لِلَّذِي يَقُومُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ " فَرَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ. قَالَتْ: فَأَنْتَ، وَمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْلَمُ

Narrated by Abdullah b. Muhammad b. Abi Shaybah, who said: I heard it from Abdullah b. Abi Shaybah, who reported: Muhammad b. Fudayl narrated from Al-Walid b. Jami' from Abu Al-Tufayl, who said:

When the Messenger of Allah (saw) passed away, Fatima (as) sent a message to Abu Bakr, asking: "Did you inherit from the Messenger of Allah (saw), or do his family?" He replied, "No, rather his family inherit [from him]." She then asked, "So where is the share of the Messenger of Allah (saw)?" Abu Bakr answered, "I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: 'When Allah (Mighty and Majestic) grants a prophet provision, and then takes his soul, it becomes for the one who succeeds him.' Therefore, I thought it best to return it to the Muslims." She replied, "You and what you claim to have heard from the Messenger of Allah (saw) know best."
