As for Umm Salamah, she said: This verse was revealed in my house, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) called Ali, Fatimah, Hassan, and Husayn, and they all entered with him under a Khaybari cloak. He said: These are my family, and he recited the verse
and said: O Allah, remove the impurity from them and purify them thoroughly. Umm Salamah said, "And I am with them, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "You are in your place, and you are indeed virtuous." This was narrated by al-Tirmidhi and others, who said: This is a strange hadith. Al-Qushayri said, Umm Salamah also said: "I put my head under the cloak and said, Am I not one of them, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes."
