(SAWS) and His progeny - Islamic Books, Islamic Movies, Islamic ...

The Ahl Bait here are the wives of the Holy Prophet (SAWS), his progeny, relatives like
H. Abbas and Ali (RAA) and all those who have been forbidden to receive charity and it
is said that this verse refers only to the wives (RAA) of the Holy Prophet (SAWS) since
the “Bait” means where they live, but this is a weak tradition because the verse is
addressing to the five souls only i.e. the Holy Messenger of Allah (SAWS),Ali, Fatima,
Hasan and Hussain (RAA). In case for the wives (RAA), the Allah (SWT) has addressed
in feminine gender only, for instance: ankunna, dakhalhunna etc.
� Tafseer al-Kalbi, Part 3, P. 137-138
And dominated in the address grammatically the masculine gender over the feminie
gender in the words “Ankum” and “Yutahhirikum”.

Recorded Imam al-Suyuti in Dhurr al-Manthoor and Abi Jafar al-Nahas in their
respective works as follows:
Recorded Ibn Mardawiyya that H. Umm Salma (RA) narrated: Revealed this verse in my
house (Sura Ahzab:33) and there were seven in the house, Jibraeel, Mikhail (AS), Ali,
Fatima, Hasan, Hussain (RAA) and I was at the door and said: O Messenger of Allah!
Am I not among the members of the family? Thereupon replied the Holy Prophet
(SAWS): Verily you are towards good future and among the wives of the Prophet
(SAWS).

Reported by H. Abu Said al-Khudri (RA) that Umm ul-Momineen Hadhrat Umm Salma
(RA) narrated:
Revealed this verse in the house while I was sitting at the door, and I said: O Messenger
of Allah! Am I not among the “Ahl ul-Bait”? Thereupon He (SAWS) replied: You are
righteous and have a good future, and you are among the wives of the Prophet (SAWS).
And in the house (Bait) was the Prophet, Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussain Salwat Allah
Alaihum.
