Al-Tathir Verse: Difference between revisions

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

The verse begins with "Innama" ({{iarabic|إِنَّما}}) which is mostly used for exclusion according to language experts. Also, the "al" at the beginning of "al-Rijs" implies any Rijs, i.e. impurities.
