"When these Ayat were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Allah only wishes to remove the Rijs from you, O members of the family, and to purify you with a thorough purification (33:33)' in the home of Umm Salamah, he called for Fatimah, Hasan, Husain, and wrapped him in the cloak, and 'Ali was behind him, so he wrapped him in the cloak, then he said: 'O Allah! These are the people of my house, so remove the Rijs from them, and purify them with a thorough purification.' So Umm Salamah said: 'And I, Prophet of Allah?' He said: 'You are in your place (meaning you are already a member of my household), and you are goodness.'"

قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺَّ ( إنمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا ) فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَدَعَا فَاطِمَةَ وَحَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَجَلَّلَهُمْ بِكِسَاءٍ وَعَلِيٌّ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ فَجَلَّلَهُمْ بِكِسَاءٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ هَؤُلاَءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي فَأَذْهِبْ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ تَطْهِيرًا قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَنْتِ عَلَى مَكَانِكِ وَأَنْتِ عَلَى خَيْرٍ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ

"For six months, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pass by the door of Fatimah when going to the Fajr prayer saying: 'As-Salat O People of the house! Allah only wishes to remove the Rijs from you, O members of the family, and to purify you with thorough purification (33:33).'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَمُرُّ بِبَابِ فَاطِمَةَ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ يَقُولُ الصَّلاَةَ يَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ ( إنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا ) قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَمْرَاءِ وَمَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

"When these Ayat were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Allah only wishes to remove the Rijs from you, O members of the family, and to purify you with a thorough purification...' (33:33) in the home of Umm Salamah, he called for Fatimah, Hasan, Husain, and wrapped them in a cloak, and 'Ali was behind him, so he wrapped him in the cloak, then he said: 'O Allah! These are the people of my house, so remove the Rijs from them, and purify them with a thorough purification.' So Umm Salamah said: 'And am I with them O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'You are in your place, and you are more virtuous to me.'"

نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺَّ ( إنمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا ) فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ وَحَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَجَلَّلَهُمْ بِكِسَاءٍ وَعَلِيٌّ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ فَجَلَّلَهُ بِكِسَاءٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ هَؤُلاَءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي فَأَذْهِبْ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ تَطْهِيرًا» قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَنْتِ عَلَى مَكَانِكِ وَأَنْتِ إِلَيَّ خَيْرٍ

"The Prophet ﷺ put a garment over Al-Hasan, Al-Hussain, 'Ali and Fatimah, then he said: 'O Allah, these are the people of my house and the close ones, so remove the Rijs from them and purify them thoroughly." So Umm Salamah said: 'And am I with them, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: "You are upon good."'

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَلَّلَ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ وَعَلِيٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ كِسَاءً ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ هَؤُلاَءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَخَاصَّتِي أَذْهِبْ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ تَطْهِيرًا فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ

[AI] I entered upon Wathila bin Al-Asqa' while he was with some people, and they mentioned Ali. When they stood up, he said to me, "Shall I not inform you of what I saw from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" I said, "Yes." He said, "I went to Fatimah to ask her about Ali." She said, "He has gone to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So I sat waiting for him until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with Ali, Hasan, and Husayn, each holding one of their hands, until they entered. He brought Ali and Fatimah closer and seated them in front of him, and seated Hasan and Husayn on his knees, then wrapped them with his cloak or said garment. Then he recited this verse: {Indeed, Allah intends to remove impurity from you, O people of the [Prophet’s] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification} (Al-Ahzab 33). And he said, "O Allah, these are my household (Ahl al-Bayt), and my household are more deserving."

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ وَعِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ فَذَكَرُوا عَلِيًّا فَلَمَّا قَامُوا قَالَ لِي أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ أَتَيْتُ فَاطِمَةَ أَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَتْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَلَسْتُ أَنْتَظِرُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَحَسَنٌ وَحُسَيْنٌ آخِذٌ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فَأَدْنَى عَلِيًّا وَفَاطِمَةَ فَأَجْلَسَهُمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَجْلَسَ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ لَفَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبَهُ أَوْ قَالَ كِسَاءً ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا} [الأحزاب 33] وَقَالَ اللهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَحَقُّ

[AI] "That the Prophet ﷺ covered Ali, Hasan, Husain, and Fatimah with a cloak and then said, 'O Allah, these are the members of my household and my close relatives. O Allah, remove impurity from them and purify them completely.' Umm Salamah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, am I included in this?' He replied, 'Indeed, you are included in goodness.'"

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَلَّلَ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ وَحَسَنٍ وَحُسَيْنٍ وَفَاطِمَةَ كِسَاءً ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَحَامَّتِي اللهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ تَطْهِيرًا» فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ إِنَّكِ إِلَى خَيْرٍ

[AI] She said in my house that this verse was revealed: "Indeed, Allah intends to keep away the impurity from you, O people of the household" [Surah Al-Ahzab 33]. She said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husain, and said, "O Allah, these are the people of my household." Umm Salamah said, "O Messenger of Allah, am I not one of the people of the household?" He replied, "You are of my family, but the people of my household have more right to be considered as such."

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ فِي بَيْتِي نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ} [الأحزاب 33] قَالَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ أَجْمَعِينَ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي» قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكِ أَهْلِي خَيْرٌ وَهَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِي أَحَقُّ»

[AI] I came looking for Ali but did not find him. Fatimah said he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to call him, so I sat down. Then Ali came with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they entered, and I entered with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Hasan and Husayn and seated each of them on his thigh. He brought Fatimah closer to him and her husband, then wrapped them with his cloak while I was present and said, "Indeed, Allah desires to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and to purify you thoroughly." [Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:33] O Allah, these are the members of my household.

جِئْتُ أُرِيدُ عَلِيًّا فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُوهُ فَاجْلِسْ فَجَاءَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ وَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُمَا قَالَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَأَجْلَسَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَأَدْنَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ حِجْرِهِ وَزَوْجَهَا ثُمَّ لَفَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبَهُ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ فَقَالَ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا} [الأحزاب 33] اللَّهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي

[AI] "In my house, the verse 'Indeed, Allah desires to repel from you filth, O People of the Household' [33:33] was revealed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husayn are the People of my Household.'"

فِي بَيْتِي نَزَلَتْ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ} [الأحزاب 33] قَالَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ فَقَالَ «هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي»

[AI] I went to Ali and did not find him, so Fatima said to me, "Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and call him." So he came with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they entered, and I entered with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Hasan and Husayn and seated each of them on his thighs, brought Fatima closer to him, along with her husband, then wrapped them with a cloak and said, "Indeed, Allah only desires to remove impurities from you, O people of the household, and to purify you thoroughly." [Quran 33:33] Then he said, "These are my household. O Allah, they are more deserving."

أَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ فَقَالَتْ لِي فَاطِمَةُ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُوهُ فَجَاءَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَا وَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُمَا فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ فَأَقْعَدَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ وَأَدْنَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ حِجْرِهِ وَزَوْجِهَا ثُمَّ لَفَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبًا وَقَالَ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ} [الأحزاب 33] أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَحَقُّ»

[AI] From Ali in his house, it was said to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went and entered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I entered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat on the bed and Fatimah sat on his right, and Ali sat on his left, and Hasan and Husayn sat in front of him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah desires to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you completely." O Allah, these are my family." Wathilah said, "I said, 'Am I also from your family, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'And you are from my family.' Wathilah said, "Indeed, it is from the most hopeful things that I hope for."

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَقِيلَ لِي ذَهَبَ يَأْتِي بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَدَخَلْتُ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ وَأَجْلَسَ فَاطِمَةَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَلِيًّا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَحَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ «{إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ} أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا اللَّهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلِي» قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ فَقُلْتُ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ وَأَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ؟ قَالَ «وَأَنْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِي» قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ إِنَّهَا لَمِنْ أَرْجَى مَا أَرْتَجِي

[AI] Fatimah brought a dish to her father while he was at the house of Umm Salamah. She said, "Mother, go and call my son and your nephew." They came and he covered them with a garment and said, "O Allah, these are the people of my household and my protection. Remove impurity from them and cleanse them thoroughly." Umm Salamah said, "And am I included with them, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You are the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , and you have a good status."

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ جَاءَتْ بِطُعَيمٍ لَهَا إِلَى أَبِيهَا وَهُوَ عَلَى مَنَامَةٍ لَهُ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ «اذْهَبِي فَادْعِي ابْنَيَّ وَابْنَ عَمِّكِ» فَجَاءُوا فَجَلَّلَهُمْ بِكِسَاءٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَحَامَتِي فَأَذْهِبْ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ تَطْهِيرًا» قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «أَنْتِ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَإِلَى أَوْ عَلَى خَيْرٍ»

[AI] Fatimah went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and called him until he came. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Fatimah entered with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Hassan and Hussein and each of them sat on his lap, and Fatimah sat closest to his thigh. Then he covered them with his cloak while I was leaning against him. Then he said, "Indeed, Allah intends to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you with a thorough purification." Then he said, "These are my family." Wathila said, "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, am I not from your family?' He said, 'And you are from my family.' Wathila said, 'Indeed, this is the most hopeful thing I hope for.'"

فَاطِمَةُ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْعُوهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَاءَ فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُمَا فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَأَجْلَسَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَأَدْنَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ حِجْرِهِ ثُمَّ لَفَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبَهُ وَأَنَا مُسْتَنِدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبُ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا} ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلِي» قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِكَ؟ قَالَ «وَأَنْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِي» قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ إِنَّهُ لَأَرْجَى مَا أَرْجُوهُ

[AI] Fatimah set out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ calling him until he came. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and I entered with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called Hassan and Hussain and sat each of them on his thigh, and placed Fatimah closer to him than his own cloak. Then he covered them with his cloak while I was lying down. Then he said, "Indeed, Allah intends to keep away the impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you with a thorough purification." Then he said, "These are my family, these are my family, they have more right (to my inheritance)." Wathilah said, "O Messenger of Allah, am I not from your family?" He said, "And you are from my family." Wathilah said, "And indeed, he is one of the things I hope for."

فَاطِمَةُ انْطَلَقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْعُوهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فَدَخَلَا فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُمَا فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَأَجْلَسَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَأَدْنَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ حِجْرِهِ ثُمَّ لَفَّ عَلَيْهِمَا ثَوْبَهُ وَأَنَا مُسْنِدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا} ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلِي هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلِي أَحَقُّ» قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِكَ؟ قَالَ «وَأَنْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِي» قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَرْجَى مَا أَرْجُوهُ

[AI] Fatimah came to her father with a dish while he was lying down. He said, "Go and call my son and your cousin." She covered them with a garment, then he said, "O Allah, these are the people of my household and my protection. Remove impurity from them and purify them thoroughly." Umm Salamah asked, "Can I be with them, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You are the wife of the Prophet ﷺ . You may choose to be with me or to do what is best."

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ جَاءَتْ بِطُعَيْمٍ لَهَا إِلَى أَبِيهَا وَهُوَ عَلَى مَنَامَةٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ «اذْهَبِي فَادْعِي ابْنِي وَابْنَ عَمِّكِ» قَالَتْ فَجَلَّلَهُمْ أَوْ قَالَتْ فَحَوَّلْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْكِسَاءَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَحَامَتِي فَأَذْهِبْ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ تَطْهِيرًا» قَالَتْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «أَنْتِ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَإِلَيَّ أَوْ عَلَى خَيْرٍ»

[AI] In my house, this verse was revealed: "Indeed, Allah desires to repel all impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you completely." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Fatimah, Hasan, and Husayn and said, "O Allah, these are my family!" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, am I not part of the family?" He said, "If Allah wills."

فِي بَيْتِي نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا} فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ وَحَسَنٍ وَحُسَيْنٍ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَهْلِي» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ قَالَ «إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ»

[AI] "The verse was revealed in her house: 'Indeed, Allah desires to repel all impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you with a thorough purification.' The Prophet, ﷺ , took a cloak and covered Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husayn with it. Then he said, 'O Allah, these are the people of my household, so remove all impurity from them and purify them thoroughly.' I asked, while standing at the doorstep, 'O Messenger of Allah, even if I am with them?' He replied, 'Indeed, you are in goodness and will go towards goodness.'"

أَنَّ الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا} وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلِيٌّ وَفَاطِمَةُ وَالْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ فَأَخَذَ عَبَاءَةً فَجَلَّلَهُمْ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي فَأَذْهِبْ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ تَطْهِيرًا» فَقُلْتُ وَأَنَا عِنْدَ عَتَبَةِ الْبَابِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكِ بِخَيْرٍ وَإِلَى خَيْرٍ»

[AI] This verse was revealed: "Verily, Allah intends to keep off from you all impurity, O people of the Household." And I (Ali) was in my house, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for Hasan and Hussain and made one of them sit on his right thigh and the other on his left thigh, and Fatimah covered them with a cloak. Then, when the verse 'Verily, Allah intends to keep off from you all impurity, O people of the Household' was revealed, I said, "And I am with you, O Messenger of Allah?" He ﷺ said, "And you are with us."

أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ} وَأَنَا فِي بَيْتِي فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ فَأَجْلَسَ أَحَدَهُمَا عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَالْآخَرَ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَأَلْقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَاطِمَةُ كِسَاءً فَلَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ} قُلْتُ وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «وَأَنْتِ مَعَنَا»

[AI] I went to Fatimah to ask her about Ali, and she said, "He has gone to the Messenger of God ﷺ." Then the Messenger of God ﷺ came with Ali, Hasan, and Husayn, each holding his hand, and entered. He brought Ali and Fatimah close and seated them in front of him, and seated Hasan and Husayn each on one of his thighs. Then he wrapped them with his cloak and recited this verse: "God only desires to remove any impurity from you, O People of the Household, and to purify you thoroughly." Then he said, "O God, these are the members of my household, and my household is more deserving." I said, "O Messenger of God, am I also among your household?" He replied, "And you are among my household." Wathilah said, "This is one of the most hopeful things I hope for."

أتَيْتُ فَاطِمَةَ أسْألُهَا عَنْ عَلِىٍّ فَقَالَتْ: تَوَجَّهَ إلى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَجَلَسَ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَمَعَهُ عَلِىٌّ وَحَسَنٌ وَحُسَيْنٌ كُل وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فَأدْنَى عَلِيّا وَفَاطِمَةَ فَأجْلَسَهُمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَأَجْلَسَ حَسنًا وَحُسَيْنًا كُل وَاحِد مِنْهُمَا عَلَى فخِذهِ، ثُمَّ لَفَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبَهُ أَوْ قَالَ كسَاءَهُ، ثُمَّ تَلَا هذِهِ الآيَةَ: {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا}، ثُمَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَ هَؤُلَاءِ أهْلُ بَيتُى، وَأهْلُ بَيْتِى أحَق، فَقُلتُ يَا رَسُولَ الله: وَأنَا مِنْ أهْلِ بَيْتِكَ؟ قَالَ: وَأنْتَ مِنْ أهْلِى، قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ: إِنَهَا لَمِنْ أرْجَى مَا أرْجُو".
