Safiyyah the daughter of Shaybah narrates that Ayeshah*(Razeya-a-Allah Anha)* [May Allah Be Pleased With Her] said, “The Holy Prophet*(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)* [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] came out one morning wearing a cloak which had camel saddles woven on to it with black wool.

Then Hasan bin Ali*(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu)* [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] came and the Holy Prophet*(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)* [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] took him under the cloak, then Husain*(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu)* [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] came and entered beneath it with the Holy Prophet*(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)* [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] .

Then Fatimah*(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha)* [Peace Be Upon Her] came and the Holy Prophet*(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)* [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] took her under the cloak. Next Ali*(Karram-a-Allahu Wajhahu)* [May God Honor Him] came and the Holy Prophet*(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)* [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] also included him beneath it.

Then the Holy *(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)* [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] recited the verse, ‘Allah only desires to keep away (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house!’ (the Prophet’s family) and to totally purify you,’ (al-Ahzab 33:33).” -4عن عمر بن أبي سلمة ربيب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: لما نزلت هذه الآية على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: (إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا) في بيت أم سلمة، فدعا فاطمة و حسنا و حسينا رضي الله عنهم فجللهم بكساء وعلي خلف ظهره فجلله بكساء، ثم قال: اللهم!

هؤلاء أهل بيتي فأذهب عنهم الرجس وطهرهم تطهيرا.
