.:Sayyidah Fātimah al-Zahrā'a the most superior?:.
صلي اللہ علی ابیہا وعلیہا وبعلہا وابنیہا وبارک وسلم
According to the agreed upon creed of Ahl al-Sunnah, the most superior to walk this earth after the Prophets علیہم السلام is Sayyidunā Abū Bakr al-Siddīq رضي اللہ عنہ.
The ijmāá of the Ahl al-Sunnah, i.e. the Ashárīs, Māturīdīs and Atharīs is upon this for centuries, any opinion which opposes this is not accepted, and is bidáh.
For detail regarding this issue, it is suggested to read the following fatwā.

Coming to the quote attributed to Imām Mālik, then if this quote is authentic, it is not to be understood to be overall and absolute superiority for Sayyidah Fātimah al-Zahrā'a, but rather as partial superiority.
In actuality, Imām Mālik held the position of Ahl al-Sunnah that absolute superiority is for Sayyidunā Abu Bakr al-Siddīq, as did the rest of the scholars.
From pages 81-85 of the above fatwā, we see that this issue is addressed, as well as a better understanding of his opinion.
Thus we see that when it comes to the matter of absolute and overall superiority, the opinion of Imām Mālik is the same as that of the ijmāáh of Ahl al-Sunnah.
Those presenting another opinion are either severely mistaken or actively promoting heresy and bidáh.
This is in no way a belittlement of the lofty rank of Sayyidah Fātimah al-Zahrā'a, the Lady of the women of the worlds.

As Ahl al-Sunnah we accept the statuses of both groups without excess.
