And in the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) emerged one morning wearing a black woolen cloak with his hair piled up, and Hassan and Hussein came to him, and he welcomed them both inside with him. Then Fatima came, and he welcomed her as well, and he seated Hassan and Hussein in his lap, while Ali sat to his right and Fatima to his left. In a version narrated by al-Tabarani from her, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) then threw a Fadakite cloak over them and placed his hand upon them, then said: "O Allah, these are my Ahl al-Bayt." In another wording, the family of Muhammad. In a narration, he added, "So may your blessings and peace be upon the family of Muhammad just as you bestowed them upon Ibrahim. Indeed, you are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious." Um Salama said: I raised the cloak to join them, but he pulled it from my hands and said: "You are on a good path."
In another narration by Ibn Marduyah from her, it is mentioned that there were seven in the house: Gabriel, Michael, Ali, Fatima, Hassan, and Hussein, and I was at the door of the house. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, am I not one of the People of the House?" He replied: "You are on the good path among the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)."
