A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Faddal from al-Mufaddal ibn Salih from Muhammad ibn Ali al-Halabi from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious. “Lord, forgive me, my parents, the believers who have entered my home and all believing..” (71:28) The Imam (a.s.) said, “Home means Wilaya of Imam Ali (Leadership with Divine Authority). Whoever acknowledges Wilaya has entered the home of the prophets.

The house mentioned verse 33:33 also refers to Wilaya. “People of the house, God wants to remove all kinds of uncleanliness from you and to purify you thoroughly.” (33:33) It refers to the Imams (a.s.) and their Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority).

Whoever would acknowledge it he has found a place in the house of The Holy Prophet (s.a.).” كالسابق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (5/67)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
