In an emotional scene, Abu Bakr further contradicts himself and affirms this hadith of his to be a lie when he wrote a document / will for Fatima (as) to receive the land of Fadak. In the report, Tabaqat al-Kubra. Vol. 2, pg. 241 by Ibn Sa'ad:
أخبرنا محمّد بن عمر، أخبرنا هشام بن سعد عن زيد بن أسلم عن أبيه قال: سمعتُ عمر يقول: لمّا كان اليوم الّذى تُوفّى فيه رسول الله، -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-، بويع لأبى بكر في ذلك اليوم، فلمّا كان من الغد جاءت فاطمة إلى أبى بكر معها عليّ فقالت: ميراثي من رسول الله أبى، -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-! فقال أبو بكر: أمِن الرّثّةِ (٤) أو من العُقَد (٥)؟ قالت: فدك وخَيْبَر وصدقاته بالمدينة أرِثُها كما يرِثُك بناتُك إذا متّ! فقال أبو بكر: أبوكِ واللهِ خيرٌ منّى وأنتِ والله خيرٌ من بناتى، وقد قال رسول الله: لا نورث، ما تركنا صدقةٌ، يعني هذه الأموال القائمة، فتعلمين أنّ أباكِ أعطاكِها؟ فوالله لَئِن قُلْتِ نعم لأقبلنّ قولَك ولأصَدّقنّك! قالت: جاءتنى أمّ أيمن فأخبرتنى أنّه أعطانى فدك، قال: فسمعتِه يقول هي لكِ؟ فإذا قلتِ قد سمعتُه فهى لك فأنا أصدّقك وأقبلُ قولك! قالت: قد أخبرتُك ما عندي
Narrated by Muhammad b. Umar, reported by Hisham b. Saad from Zaid b. Aslam, from his father, who said: I heard Umar saying, "When the day the Messenger of Allah (saw) passed away, Abu Bakr was appointed as the leader on that day. The next day, Fatimah came to Abu Bakr with Ali, and she said, 'My inheritance from the Messenger of Allah!' Abu Bakr asked, 'From the estate or from the necklace?' She replied, 'The Fadak, Khaybar, and his charity in Medina, I inherit it as your daughters inherit from you when you die!' Abu Bakr said, 'By Allah, your father is better than me, and you are better than my daughters. The Messenger of Allah said, 'We, the prophets, do not leave any inheritance, what we leave behind is charity.' Do you know that your father gave it to you?' She replied, 'Umm Ayman informed me that he (the Prophet) gave me Fadak.' He asked, 'Did you hear him say it's for you?' She said, 'Yes.' He said, 'If you have heard him say it's for you, then it's yours. I believe you and accept your word.' She said, 'I have informed you of what I have.'"
