Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, peace be upon said that:
Ayesha called upon Uthman and said: “Grant me what my father and Umar ibn al-Khattab used to grant me.” He (i.e. Uthman) said: “I do not see any status for you in the Book nor in the (Prophet’s) Traditions. Surely, both your father and Umar ibn al-Khattab, granted you (extra favours) because of their obliging nature, but I shall not do it.”
She said: “Then give me my inheritance from the Prophet of Allah”. He said: “Did you not come to me, with Malik ibn Aws al-Nasri, to give witness that the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, does not bequeath; till you deprived Fatimah from her inheritance and nullified her right? How come you are claiming inheritance today from the Prophet?” She left him and went away.
And when Uthman appeared for the prayers, she raised the Prophet’s shirt on a cane and exclaimed: “Surely, Uthman has contradicted the owner of this shirt and has abandoned his Tradition.”
