Fâtima, Hasan, and Huseyn ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ anhum’. Âisha
‘radiy-Allâhu anhâ’ stated so, too. There are also those (scholars)
who say that it was revealed for his (the Prophet’s) blessed wives
‘radiy-Allâhu anhunna’. For the âyat-i-kerîma following this
clearly addresses to his wives. Abû Sa’îd-i-Hudrî, [was thirteen
years old when the Holy War of Uhud was made. He passed away
in 64 (Hijrî). His grave is believed to be in the yard of Qariya
Mosque at Ayvansaray, Istanbul], is quoted as having said as
follows in the book Musnad, by Ahmad bin Hanbal [164-241 (C.E.
855), in Baghdâd]: This âyat-i-kerîma came for Rasûlullah, Alî,
Fâtima, Hasan, and Huseyn. These five people are called Ahl-iabâ,
which means ‘covered with cloak.’ According to Ahmad bin
Muhammad Sa’labî [427 (C.E. 1036), in Nishâpur], the word ‘Ahli-Bayt’
in this âyat-i-kerîma means ‘the Sons of Hâshim’, (or
Hâshemites). And the word ‘rijs’ used in the âyat-i-kerîma means
‘to sin’, ‘to doubt about the principles of belief’. Then, these
people (Hâshemites, or Hâshimites) will never enter Hell. Sa’d
ibni Ebî Waqqâs ‘radiy-Allâhu anh’, [one of the Ashara-i-mubashshara.
He was in his seventeenth year when he became the seventh
earliest Muslim. He joined all the Holy Wars. He was the first
archer who threw an arrow. He was a very good marksman. He
was the commander-in-chief of the Islamic army that won a victory
in Qadsiya and erased the magian Iranian State from the pages of
history. 55 (Hijrî), in Medîna], stated: When the sixty-first âyat of
Âl-i-’Imrân sûra, which purports, “Come; Let us call Our children
and your children”, was revealed, Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu alaihi wa
sallam’ called Alî, Fâtima, Hasan, and Huseyn ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ
alaihim ajma’în’, and stated, “Yâ Rabbî! These are my Ahl-i-
Bayt.”
Musawwir bin Mahrama ‘radiy-Allâhu anh’, [attained
martyrdom when he was hit by a stone flung by a mangonel as he
was performing namâz. 2-64, in Medîna], quoted Rasûlullah ‘sall-
Allâhu alaihi wa sallam’ as having stated, “Fâtima ‘radiy-Allâhu
anhâ’ is a piece from me. He who annoys her will have hurt me (by
doing so).” [She was thirteen years old during the Hijrat (Hegira).
When she was fifteen years of age, she was married to Alî ‘radiy-
Allâhu anh’, who was twenty-five years old then. She passed away
in Medîna in the eleventh year of Hijrat, six months after the

Abû Hurayra ‘radiy-Allâhu anh’, [became a Muslim during
