21 - .... And from Abu al-Tufayl, who said: Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) delivered a sermon to us: he recited this verse: "And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Ibrahim, Ishaq, and Yaqub," then he said: "I am the son of the bearer of glad tidings, I am the son of the warner, I am the son of the one who invites to Allah by His permission, I am the son of the lamp giving light, I am the son of the one whom He sent as a mercy to the worlds.
I am from the Ahl al-Bayt from whom Allah has removed impurity and made pure with a thorough purification. I am from the Ahl al-Bayt whose love and authority Allah, the Almighty, has made obligatory, and He said: 'Say, "I do not ask you for it any reward except for the love in kinship" ' (Surah Ash-Shura 42:23)." Al-Tabarani narrated it in al-Kabir and al-Awsat, and al-Bazzar also narrated it.
165 - .... And al-Bazzar and others narrated: That when al-Hasan was appointed as a successor, while he was praying, a man jumped on him and stabbed him with a dagger while he was prostrating, then he addressed the people and said: "O people of Iraq, fear Allah regarding us, for we are your leaders and guests,
and we are the Ahl al-Bayt about whom Allah, the Exalted, said:: {Allah surely intends to remove all impurity from you, O Ahl al-Bayt, and to make you pure and spotless" (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:33)}.
- .... Chapter One on the verses concerning the virtues of the Ahl al-Bayt
First Verse: {Allah surely intends to remove all impurity from you, O Ahl al-Bayt, and to make you pure and spotless}
(Surah Al-Ahzab 33:33) Most commentators agree that it was revealed about: Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn, to remind of the pronoun "you" and what follows it, "and make you pure."
176 - .... Ahmad narrated
from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri who said: It was revealed about five: the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn.177 - .... Ibn Jarir narrated it as a raised (marfu') narration with the wording:
"This verse was revealed about five: me, Ali, al-Hasan, al-Husayn, and Fatimah," and al-Tabarani also narrated it as a raised narration.
179 - ....
It is confirmed that he (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) placed his cloak over these and said: "O Allah, these are the people of my household and my special ones. Remove impurity from them and make them thoroughly pure." Umm Salamah said: "And I am with them, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "You are indeed on goodness."
184 - ....
And in another narration: that he said: "O Allah, these are the Ahl al-Bayt. Remove impurity from them and make them pure and spotless," three times, and Umm Salamah said to him: "Are you not one of your family?" He said: "Yes," and he later included her under the cloak after he had finished his prayer for them.
