the Prophet) by doing good to his family.

Content: The purity of Ahlul Bayt and its members (hadith al-kisaa') The verse of purity There is a misunderstanding on who the members of Ahlul Bayt are. Some say they are Fatimah al-Zahra, Ali, and their two sons, al-Hassan and al-Hussein, the wives of the prophet and the prophet himself. Others say the members are only Fatimah al-Zahra, Ali, al-Hassan, al-Hussein and the prophet.

Some narrations add to the previous list nine devinely appointed Imams (acknowledged by the Twelvers Shiaa), who are part of the descendants of al-Hussein. There is also a group of muslims that believe that the wives are the only members of Ahlul Bayt, including the prophet, of course. One fact that is accepted by all muslims is that the members of Ahlul Bayt are devinely purified a perfect purification and are to be loved and blessed by order from Allah and His (s).

The purpose of this section is to show that the true members of Ahlul Bayt are Fatimah al-Zahra, Ali, and their two sons, al-Hassan, al-Hussein and the prophet, in addition to some of the descendants of al-Hussein that lead to the awaited, Muhammad al-Mahdi. Moreover, this section will clarify why the members of Ahlul Bayt have an incomparable position in terms of piety and closeness to Allah, compared to any other individual. Quran 33:32-33 O wives of the Prophet!

you are not like any other of the women; If you will be on your guard, then be not soft in (your) speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease yearn; and speak a good word. And stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the ignorance of yore; and keep up prayer, and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying.
