Although [[Mubahala]] was primarily between the [[Prophet (s)]] and Christian men, but then children and women were also brought to Mubahala to prove the claim of the caller, thus, the Prophet (s) brought his most beloved ones to Mubahala.

In addition, [['Allama Tabata'i]] has mentioned another aspect for the involvement of the Prophet's (s) family that: It is as if the Prophet (s) intends the parties to curse each other and to wish for the divine punishment for the other party so that the curse would include women, children and souls too, so that the enemies would be eradicated.<ref>Ṭabāṭabāʾī, ''al-Mīzān'', vol. 3, p. 223.</ref>

Based on this view, it was not necessary for the parties to be more than two people so that the plural pronouns could be used in the verse, because according to the above opinion, the plural pronoun means that through mutual cursing the wrong party would be uprooted completely. Exegetes, narrators and historical reports unanimously maintain that the Prophet (s) took no one else to Mubahala except for [['Ali (a)]], [[Fatima (a)]], [[al-Hasan (a)]] and [[al-Husayn (a)]], so the souls were two [the Prophet (s) and 'Ali (a)], the "women" was one [Fatima (a)], and the sons were two [al-Hasan (a) and al-Husayn (a)] through which the divine order was fulfilled.<ref>Ṭabāṭabāʾī, ''al-Mīzān'', vol. 3, p. 223.</ref> Also, other verses are found in the [[Qur'an]] which refer to one person while the verbal reference is plural, such as the [[Zihar verse]] in [[Sura al-Mujadala]].<ref>Refer to: Ṭabāṭabāʾī, ''al-Mīzān'', vol. 3, p. 223.</ref>
