They say '' Hazrat Fateme was buried at night''. She willed Hazrta Fateme Asma, the daughter of Amis and the wife Abubakr because she never wanted that strangers saw the corpse.
The criticism and analysis
Burying at night, prayer without attendance and awareness of caliph and a hidden caliph, has points into itself. It is right that Fateme requested and willed in such way. What made Hazrat Fateme (peace be upon her) finish her historical will with such requests? Isn't it right it demonstrates her anger and sadness toward her enemies? In fact, it leaves several questions against sharp looks of historians and future people '' why is the grave of Hazrat Fateme hidden?and why was the daughter of the prophet buried at night? Why did Imam Ali (peace be upon her) pray for her without awareness of Abubakr and Umar?
Wasn't the person that was the successor of the prophet (as they have claimed) qualified to pray for her?
It is right that Fateme willed to be buried at night and did not inform the persons that tyrannized her and this is the best document for Shias in order to prove that Sedighe passed away and she was not satisfied of persons that tyrannized her.
A lot of narrations in the Shiite and Sunni books demonstrate this matter; we refer several narrations briefly.
Burying at night according to the Sunni narrations
Muhammad Ben Ismaeil Bokhari has written
وَعَاشَتْ بَعْدَ النبی صلى الله علیه وسلم سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ فلما تُوُفِّیَتْ دَفَنَهَا زَوْجُهَا عَلِیٌّ لَیْلًا ولم یُؤْذِنْ بها أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَصَلَّى علیها.
Fateme Zahra (peace be upon her) was alive six months after the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants). When she passed away, her husband, Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him) buried her at night and he did not inform Abubakr.
Al-Bokhari Al-Jofi, Muhammad Ben Esmail Abo Abdullah (died in 256 Hejira), Sahih al-bokhari, v 4, p 1549, Hadith 3998, Ketab Al-Maghazi, Chapter Ghezvat Kheybar , researched by:Mostafa Deib Al-Bagha, published by: Dar Ibn Kasir, Al-Yamamat Beirut Al-Tabaat: Al-Sales, 1407, 1987
Ibn Ghoteibe Dinuri has written in the book '' Tavil Mokhtalef Al-Hadith''
وقد طالبت فاطمة رضی الله عنها أبا بكر رضی الله عنه بمیراث أبیها رسول الله صلى الله علیه وسلم فلما لم یعطها إیاه حلفت لا تكلمه أبدا وأوصت أن تدفن لیلا لئلا یحضرها فدفنت لیلا.
Fateme requested the inheritance of her father from Abubakr, but he did not accept it. She swore that she would not talk to him and willed to be buried at night so that Abubakr could not take part in her funeral ceremony.

Abd Al-Razagh Sanaee has written
عن بن جریج وعمرو بن دینار أن حسن بن محمد أخبره أن فاطمة بنت النبی صلى الله علیه وسلم دفنت باللیل قال فرَّ بِهَا علی من أبی بكر أن یصلی علیها كان بینهما شیء.
Fateme, the daughter of the prophet, was buried at night so that Abubake could not pray for her because some events happened between them.
He has also added
عبد الرزاق عن بن عیینة عن عمرو بن دینار عن حسن بن محمد مثله الا أنه قال اوصته بذلك
It has been narrated from Hsan Ben Muhammad the same as this narration. However, it has been narrated that Fateme had willed such thing.

Ibn Betal has written in the book '' the explanation of Sahih Bokhari''

أجاز أكثر العلماء الدفن باللیل... ودفن علىُّ بن أبى طالب زوجته فاطمة لیلاً، فَرَّ بِهَا من أبى بكر أن یصلى علیها، كان بینهما شىء.
They have allowed the bury of the corpse at night. Ali Ben Abu Taleb Most of the scientistsburied his wife, Fateme, at night so that Abubakr could not pray for her because some struggles happened between them.
Ibn Betal Al-Kobra Al-Ghortabi, Abu Al-Hasan Ali Ben Kholf Ben Abd Al-malek (died in 449Hejira), Sharh Sahih Al-Bokhari, v 3, p 325, researched by:Abu Tamim Yaser Ben Ebrahim published by: Maktabat Al-Roshd ,Saudi Arabia, Al-Tabaat, Al-Saniat, 1423 Hejira 2003
Narrating from Jahez (died in 255 A.H.), Ibn Abi Al-Hadid has written
وظهرت الشكیة، واشتدت الموجدة، وقد بلغ ذلك من فاطمة ( علیها السلام ) أنها أوصت أن لا یصلی علیها أبوبكر.
They complain and sadness of Fateme (from usurpers) were as much as she willed that Abubakr did not pray for her.
Ibn Abi Al-Hadid Al-Madaani Al-Motazeli, abu Hamed Azo Al-Din ben Hobat Alah Ban Muhammad Ben Muhammad (died in 655 Hejira), Sharh Nahjo Al-Balaghe, v 16, p 157, researched by: Muhammad Abd Al-Karim Al-Namari, published by: Dar Al-Kotob Al-Elmiye, Beirut/ Lebanon, Al-Tabaat:Al-Avali, 1418 Hejira, 1998 miladi
He has also written in another part
وأما إخفاء القبر، وكتمان الموت، وعدم الصلاة، وكل ما ذكره المرتضى فیه، فهو الذی یظهر ویقوی عندی، لأن الروایات به أكثر وأصح من غیرها، وكذلك القول فی موجدتها وغضبها.
Hiding the death of Fateme ( peace be upon her) and her bury place and not praying of Abubakr and Umar and whatever Sayad Morteza has said are acceptable because narrations for proving these cases are more valid and more and the sadness and anger of Fateme for Sheikhin are more valid than other narrations in my opinion.
Sharh Nahjo Al-balaghe, v 16, p 170
Burying At night according to the Shiite narrations
Although the cause of the will Sedighe Tahere was clear and unanimous agreement among Shias, we refer to a narration and a remark.
Deceased Sheikh Sadugh has written about the reason of the bury of Fateme at night

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ علیه السلام لِأَیِّ عِلَّةٍ دُفِنَتْ فَاطِمَةُ (علیها السلام) بِاللَّیْلِ وَ لَمْ تُدْفَنْ بِالنَّهَارِ قَالَ لِأَنَّهَا أَوْصَتْ أَنْ لا یُصَلِّیَ عَلَیْهَا رِجَالٌ [الرَّجُلانِ‏].
Ali Ben Abu Hamze asked from Imam Sadegh (peace be upon him) '' why did they bury Fateme at night not during day? ''He bade '' Fateme (peace be upon her) had willed to be buried at night so that Abubakr and Umar could not pray for her corpse.
Al-Sadugh Abu Jafar Muhammad Ben Ali Ben Al-Hossein (died in 381 Hejira), Elal Al-Sharaye, v 1, p 185, researched by:Taghdim: Al-Seyed Muhammad Sadegh bahr Al-Olum, published by: manshorat Al-Maktabat Al-Heydariye Va Matbataha Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf , 1385, 1966 Miladi
Deceased Saheb Madarek (may God be well pleased with her) has said
إنّ سبب خفاء قبرها ( علیها السلام ) ما رواه المخالف والمؤالف من أنها ( علیها السلام ) أوصت إلى أمیر المؤمنین ( علیه السلام ) أن یدفنها لیلا لئلا یصلی علیها من آذاها ومنعها میراثها من أبیها ( صلى الله علیه وآله وسلم ).
The reason of hiding the place of burying Hazrat Fateme (peace be upon her), as people that are against her and agree with her, was that Hazrat Fateme ( peace be upon her) ordered to be buried so that people that had hurt her and deprived her from the inheritance of her father do not pray for her.
Al-Musavi Al-Amoli, Al-Seyed Muhammad Ben Ali (died in 1009Hejira), Madarek Al-Ahkam Fi Sharh Shara Al-Eslam, v 8, p 279, published by: Va researched by: Moasesat Ale Al-Bayt Alayhem Al-Salam Al-Ehya Al-Torath, Al-First Editions, 1410 Hejira
Conclusion
According to the available documents and the confession of the Sunni dignitaries, the reason of burying Hazrat Fateme at night was the will of Fateme because she never wanted that the persons that had tyrannized him pray for her corpse. With this action, she made her anger permanent for the usurpers of caliphate.
