Moreover, they have supported their view by a tradition which Malik-ibn- Anas has narrated in his "Mutha" referring to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as saying: "Alms is not permissible for (??) (descendants) of Muhammad because they are the dirt and filth of people." Thus, he made alms specifically un- permissible for his (??) and those upon whom alms is forbidden are Bani- Hashim and Abdul-Muttalib.

It was asked from Zaid-ibn-Arqam as to who are the (??) (descendants) of the Messenger of Allah upon whom alms are forbidden and he replied: - (??) of Ali, (??) of Jafar, (??), of Abbass and (??) of Aqeel and this second view is nearer to the first view.

However the reason which the supporters of the third view give is the sayings of Exalted Allah: (Except (??) of Lot; We will most surely deliver them all) where, as per the consensus of the exegetists, (??) in this verse refers to those who have turned towards him and followed his path. Thereafter he says: Now, keeping in view all that has been said about (??), it becomes apparent that its meaning comprehensively fits them because they are his Ahlul-Bait.

"Zakat" (alms-tax) is forbidden for them and they have followed his religion and adhered to his path. Ascribing them with (??) and naming them with this word is accidentally true. Mahdi is From the Progeny of the Holy Prophet Abu Dawoud, in the fourth volume of his 'Sahih' on age 87 has written a tradition which has been narrated by Umm-Salma from the Holy Prophet as such: 30-'Tasgheer' in dictionary means 'to reduce the meaning of the word by adding the signs of 'Tasgheer'.
