It is reported in some [[narration]]s that the above verse was revealed in the house of [[Umm Salama]], wife of the [[Prophet (s)]]; and [[ | It is reported in some [[narration]]s that the above verse was revealed in the house of [[Umm Salama]], wife of the [[Prophet (s)]]; and [[Ali (a)]], [[Fatima (a)]], [[al-Hasan (a)]], and [[al-Husayn (a)]] were there at the time of [[revelation]] of the verse. Then, the Holy Prophet (s) covered Ali (a), Fatima (a), al-Hasan (a), and al-Husayn (a) with his Kisa' (cloak) on which he was sitting and then stretched his hands towards the sky and said, "O God! These four are my [[Ahl al-Bayt]]; clean them of any impurities!" Umm Salama asked the Prophet (s) if she was included in the Ahl al-Bayt (a)? The Prophet (s) answered her, "You are among the Prophet's (s) wives and you are on a good path."<ref>Tirmidhī, ''Sunan al-Tirmidhī'', vol. 5, p. 699; Ṣadūq, ''Maʿānī l-akhbār'', vol. 2, p. 403.</ref> | ||

Commentators have different opinions on to whom the term [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] refer. Many 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. al-'Abbas]] have considered [[ | Commentators have different opinions on to whom the term [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] refer.

There are narrations from other [[Imams of the Shi'a]] confirming this opinion.<ref>Ibn ʿAṭīyya, ''al-Muḥarrar al-wajīz'', vol. 13, p. 72; Ibn Kathīr, ''Tafsīr al-Qurʾān'', vol. 3, p. 799.</ref> | ||
Another opinion is that the Ahl al-Bayt (a) referred to the [[Wives of the Prophet (s)]] since the context of the verse is about them. Hadiths with such implications have been narrated from 'Ikrima mawla Ibn al-'Abbas and Muqatil b. Sulayman.<ref>Ibn Kathīr, ''Tafsīr al-Qurʾān'', vol. 3, p. 798; Shawkānī, ''Fatḥ al-Qadīr'', vol. 4, p. 278.</ref> | Another opinion is that the Ahl al-Bayt (a) referred to the [[Wives of the Prophet (s)]] since the context of the verse is about them.

The wording of the verse is in agreement with the first opinion above saying that | The wording of the verse is in agreement with the first opinion above saying that Ali (a), Fatimah (s), al-Hasan (a), and al-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 feminine ('ankunna, {{ia|عنکُنَّ}}; and yutahhirakunna, {{ia|یُطَهِّرَکُنَّ}}) instead of masculine ('ankum, {{ia|عنکم}}; and yutahhirakum, {{ia|یُطَهِّرَکُم}}).<ref>Qurṭubī, ''al-Jāmiʿ li-aḥkām al-Qurʾān'', vol. 14, p. 183; Husaynī Ṭihrānī, ''Mihr-i tābān'', p. 290-292.</ref> | ||
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 is that such style of speaking has been practiced by eloquent Arabs and we find numerous cases in the [[Qur'an]] where some sequential verses talk about different issues, also there are 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.<ref>Ṭabrisī, ''Majmaʿ al-bayān'', vol. 8, p. 560; Ṭabāṭabāyī, ''al-Mīzān'', vol. 16, p. 311.</ref> | 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 is that such style of speaking has been practiced by eloquent Arabs and we find numerous cases in the [[Qur'an]] where some sequential verses talk about different issues, also there are 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.<ref>Ṭabrisī, ''Majmaʿ al-bayān'', vol. 8, p. 560; Ṭabāṭabāyī, ''al-Mīzān'', vol. 16, p. 311.</ref> | ||
