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>

In the comments for this verse in his ''[[al-Kashshaf (book)|al-Kashshaf]]'', [[al-Zamakhshari]] says that: "Bringing children and women to Mubahala showed more confidence than going alone; because the Prophet (s) brought his most beloved ones to the war which was supposed to inflict the curse upon each of the parties and God mentions them [sons and women] prior to the selves to show their importance over one's own self." Then al-Zamakhshari says, "This is a proof for the eminence of [[Ashab al-Kisa']] and there is no stronger reason than that."<ref>Zamakhsharī, ''Tafsīr al-kashshāf'', vol. 1, p. 369-370.</ref>
