Aisha radiya Llahu ‘anha says:
خرج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم غداة وعليه مرط مرحل من شعر أسود، فجاء الحسن بن علي فأدخله، ثم جاء الحسين فدخل معه، ثم جاءت فاطمة فأدخلها، ثم جاء علي فأدخله ثم قال: (إنما يريد الله ليذهب عنكم الرجس أهل البيت ويطهركم تطهيرا)
The Prophet salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam went out one morning wearing a striped cloak (made) of a black camel’s hair. Hassan ibn ‘Ali came and the Prophet salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam placed him under it. Then came Hussain and he entered (the cloak) with him. Then came Fatimah and Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam placed her under it. Then came ‘Ali and he salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam placed him under it. Then he said, “Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the [Prophet’s] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification.”[1]
a. Those that were under the cloth. This narration and others attest to this.
b. The Honourable Consorts of Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam; the Mothers of the Believers. The Qur’an speaks of them in the following manner:
إِنَّمَا يُرِيْدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيْرًا
Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the [Prophet’s] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification.[2]
وَاذْكُرْنَ مَا يُتْلىٰ فِيْ بُيُوْتِكُنَّ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ لَطِيْفًا خَبِيْرًا
And remember what is recited in your houses of the verses of Allah and wisdom. Indeed, Allah is ever Subtle and Acquainted [with all things].[3]
The narrations also support this fact that the Honourable Consorts of Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam are included in the Ahlul Bayt.
c. Those with regards to whom receiving sadaqah is impermissible as is mentioned in the Fifth Narration. Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam referred to them as the Ahlul Bayt as well.
