At-Tirmidhi mentioned in his book as-Sahih, vol. 13 p. 200 Egyptian edition-, a tradition narrated by Umar bin Abu Salama where he said that the Qur’anic verse, Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House, and to purify you with a thorough purification. (33:33), was revealed in Umm Salama’s house. Then the Prophet (s) called for Fatima, Hasan, Husayn and Imam Ali to come behind him.

He then covered themselves with a garment and said: O Allah, these are my family. Keep away uncleanness from them and purify them thoroughly. Umm Salama said, “am I with them?’ The Prophet answered, “You have your standing and you will be to a good end.’ The author mentioned other relations that are narrated by Umm Salama, Ma’qil bin Yassar, Abul-Hamra’ and Anas bin Malik.
