However, if only one man exists among that group, masculine gender is used instead. From the verse alone, we cannot conclude that the wives of the Prophet are not included in Ahlul-Bayt.
What can be understood from the verse ALONE is that Allah is changing His address which was exclusively the wives of the Prophet at the beginning of the verse to some people who include some male members, and may or may not include the wives of the Prophet.
Inside this chapter, there is a section called "Section of the Virtues of the Ahlul-Bayt of the Prophet". Muslim the Author did not put any other tradition in this section section of the virtues of Ahlul-Bayt. If the author of Sahih Muslim believed that the wives of the Prophet were included in Ahlul-Bayt, he would have quoted some traditions about them in this section. It is interesting to see that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet S is the narrator of the above tradition, and she herself is testifying that Ahlul- Bayt are the above-mentioned individuals i.
These are the Members of my House Ahlul-Bayt. Keep them away from every impurity and purify them with a perfect purification. Also it is apparent from above authentic tradition that the Prophet himself excluded his wives from Ahlul-Bayt.
Why did the Prophet tell her that she remains in her own position? If the Prophet S would consider Umm Salama among Ahlul-Bayt, he would surely have entered her to the cloak and would have prayed for her perfect purity as well. Also notice that Umm Salama ra who is the virtuous wife of the Prophet is the narrator of the tradition to his son and gives the testimony that who Ahlul-Bayt are.
Umm Salama said: "O Prophet of Allah! Am I not one of the members of your family? O Lord! The members of my family are more deserving. You have your own special position and your future is good. I said, "O Prophet of Allah! Am I not also one of your Ahlul-Bayt? Sunni reference: Tafsir al-Tabari, v22, p7 under the commentary of verse Beside Sahih Muslim and Sahih al-Tirmidhi from which we quoted the Tradition of Cloak on the authority of Aisha and Umm Salama respectively, below are more Sunni references of the Tradition of Cloak who reported both versions of the traditions:.
When the Messenger of Allah noticed that a blessing from Allah was to descent, he told Safiyya one of his wives : "Call for me! Call for me! Then the Prophet S spread his cloak over them, and raised his hand toward sky saying: "O Allah! These are my family Aalee , so bless Muhammad and the family Aal of Muhammad.
Just as the Qur'an is true from beginning to end without the shadow of untruth in it, and just as it is incumbent duty of every Muslim to obey its commands, so also must the.
Ahlal Bait be perfectly true and sincere guides whose commands must be followed by all. Therefore there can be no escape of accepting their leadership and following their creed and faith. The Muslims are bound by the sayings of prophet to follow them and no one else. Those who have faith in god and do righteous deeds they are the best of creatures khairul barriya.

Qur'an And, He it is who made the stars for you that ye maybe rightly guided by observing them in the darkness of the land and the sea; Indeed we have made plain the Signs for the people who can know. Some said that the Ahl al-Bayt are Quraysh; some said that the family of Muhammad are the pious among his ummah; and some said that they are all of the ummah of Muhammad peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him.
With regard to the wives of the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him , the most correct view is that they are included among the members of the family of the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him , because Allaah says, after commanding the wives of the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him to observe hijaab interpretation of the meaning :.
And the angels said to Saarah the wife of Ibraaheem peace be upon him interpretation of the meaning :. And because Allaah excluded the wife of Loot from the family of Loot peace be upon him with regard to survival, when He said interpretation of the meaning :. Them all we are surely, going to save from destruction. With regard to the family of al-Muttalib, it was stated in a report from Imaam Ahmad that they are among them [among the Ahl al-Bayt].
This is also the view of Imaam al-Shaafa'i. Imaam Abu Haneefah and Imaam Maalik were of the view that the family of Muttalib are not included in the family of the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him ; there is also a report to this effect from Ahmad. He praised Allaah and exhorted and reminded us.
I remind you of Allaah with regard to the people of my household, I remind you of Allaah with regard to the people of my household, I remind you of Allaah with regard to the people of my household. The Qur'an has used this term in the al-Tathir and al-Mawadda verses. From the Shi'a point of view, Ahl al-Bayt a have a pivotal position in religion. They are infallible and superior to all other companions of the Prophet s in regards to taqwa God-wariness and other virtues.
Loving them is mandatory for all Muslims. According to Shi'a teachings, Ahl al-Bayt a have guardianship and leadership upon Muslims and Muslims must regard them as their authorities and refer to them in their religious issues. For example, in Arabic, wife is known as the "ahl" of her husband, the people of every prophet is known as his "ahl", or the residents of a city are the "ahl" of that city.
Also, followers of a religion are the "ahl" of that religion. About the question over who is meant in this verse by the "Ahl al-Bayt", there are different opinions. An opinion agreed by Shi'a and many Sunni scholars is that it refers to the Ahl al-Kisa' , i. Ahl al-Bayt a is mentioned in the hadiths of the Prophet s with four different usages:. From the two last meanings, the latter meaning is more common in Shi'a references, and whenever "Ahl al-Bayt" is mentioned without any reference, the very special meaning the third meaning is likely intended.
The most distinguished merit of the Ahl al-Bayt a is their infallibility which can clearly be understood from the al-Tathir verse , since in this verse, Ahl al-Bayt a are referred to as those whom God desired to repel all impurity from. Hadith al-Thaqalayn is also among mutawatir [frequently narrated] hadiths which there is no doubt in its reference.
It proves the infallibility of the Ahl al-Bayt a of the Prophet s in its very special usage because, in this hadith, Ahl al-Bayt a have come as al-Thiql al-Asghar [the smaller weight] together with the Qur'an which is al-Thiql al-Akbar the greater weight and they have been considered as the two precious legacies of the Prophet s which would never be separate from each other; and if Muslims adhere to them, they will never be misguided.
Indeed the Qur'an is the word of God and no error is in it, "falsehood cannot approach it, from before it nor from behind it. According to some Sunni scholars, there is no doubt in the moral and practical infallibility of the Ahl al-Bayt a who include lady Fatima a and the twelve Imams a of Shi'a, and only an ignorant person who rejects Islam would have doubt in its truth.
Instead, what is disagreed upon is their infallibility in knowledge; [22] however, because the hadith al-Thaqalayn regards adherence to the Ahl al-Bayt a in religion as keeping one safe from ignorance and going astray, their Infallibility in knowledge can easily be understood, per the Shia view. From the hadith al-Thaqalayn, the superiority of the Ahl al-Bayt a over others can easily be understood, because the Prophet s put them beside the Qur'an , called the Qur'an as "al-Thiql al-Akbar" and Ahl al-Bayt a as "al-Thiql al-Asghar" and never put another person besides the Qur'an.
Therefore, the Ahl al-Bayt a are superior to others the same way as the Qur'an is superior to other books. The al-Mubahala verse implies the superiority of Ahl al-Kisa' over other companions of the Prophet s as well; since, according to this verse, God has given the Prophet s mission to choose some people from among children, Muslim men and women to accompany him in Mubahala with the Christians of Najran.
There is no doubt that those who are chosen for Mubahala have great position in faith and closeness to God. Abu Riyah, the servant of Umm Salama , narrated from the Prophet s : "If there were other people more honorable than Ali a , Fatima s , al-Hasan a and al-Husayn a , God would have ordered me to do Mubadala with their help; and they are the best of people. Superiority of the Ahl al-Bayt a can also be understood from other hadiths and verses such as the al-Mawadda verse Qur'an , hadith al-Safina , hadith Bab al-Hitta , hadith al-Nujum , etc.
