It is reported in some narrations that the above verse was revealed in the house of [[Umm Salama]], wife of the [[Prophet (s)]]; and [[Ali (a)]], [[Fatima (a)]], [[Hasan (a)]] and [[Husayn (a)]] were there at the time of revelation of the verse. That time, the Prophet (s) covered them with a piece of cloth (Kisa') on which he was sitting and then stretched his hands towards skies and said, "O God! These are my [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]; clean them from any impurities!" Umm Salama asked the Prophet (s) if she was including in the Ahl al-Bayt (a) and the Prophet (s) answered her, "you are among the Prophet's (s) wives and you are on a good path."<ref>Timidhi, Vol.5, P.699; Ibn Babwayh, Vol.2, P.403</ref> | It is reported in some narrations that the above verse was revealed in the house of [[Umm Salama]], wife of the [[Prophet (s)]]; and [['Ali (a)]], [[Fatima (a)]], [[Hasan (a)]] and [[Husayn (a)]] were there at the time of revelation of the verse.

Commentators have different opinions regarding the members of the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]. Many of the companions of the [[Prophet (s)]] such as [[Anas b. Malik]], [[Abu Sa'id al-Khudri]], [[Umm Salama]], [[Aisha]], [[Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas]], [['Abd Allah b. Ja'far]] and [['Abd Allah b. 'Abbas]] have considered [[Ali (a)]], [[Fatima (a)]], [[Hasan (a)]] and [[Husayn (a)]] the only members of the Ahl al-Bayt (a). There are narrations from other [[Shi'a Imams (a)]] confirming this opinion. | Commentators have different opinions regarding the members of the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]].

Another opinion is that the Ahl al-Bayt (a) referred to [[wives of the Prophet (s)]] since the verse is generally about them. [['Ikrima Mawlay b. 'Abbas]] and [[Maqatil b. Sulayman]] have narrated hadiths with such implications. | Another opinion is that the Ahl al-Bayt (a) referred to [[wives of the Prophet (s)]] since the verse is generally about them.

The appearance of the verse is in agreement with the first opinion above saying that Ali (a), Fatimah (s), Hasan (a) and Husayn (a) are the Ahl al-Bayt (a), because if the Ahl al-Bayt (a) were the wives of the Prophet (s), then the pronouns in the verse had to be "'ankunna" and "yutahhirakunna" instead of "'ankum" and "Yutahhirakum". | The appearance of the verse is in agreement with the first opinion above saying that 'Ali (a), Fatimah (s), Hasan (a) and Husayn (a) are the Ahl al-Bayt (a), because if the Ahl al-Bayt (a) were the wives of the Prophet (s), then the pronouns in the verse had to be "'ankunna" and "yutahhirakunna" instead of "'ankum" and "Yutahhirakum". | ||
There would be a question why there is something said among the duties of the wives of the Prophet (s) which does not relate to them, and the answer given to it is that such style of speaking has been known to scholars of Arabic literature and we find many cases in the [[Qur'an]] where some sequential verses talk about different issues and it can also be learned from Imams' (a) hadiths that such verses had been revealed in different times, but have been put beside each other at the time of compiling the Qur'an. | There would be a question why there is something said among the duties of the wives of the Prophet (s) which does not relate to them, and the answer given to it is that such style of speaking has been known to scholars of Arabic literature and we find many cases in the [[Qur'an]] where some sequential verses talk about different issues and it can also be learned from Imams' (a) hadiths that such verses had been revealed in different times, but have been put beside each other at the time of compiling the Qur'an. | ||
