Bismillah
All praises due to Allah.
وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَى وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآَتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا

[33:33]

“And stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the ignorance of yore; and keep up prayer, and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allah and His Apostle. Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying.”

According to correct opinion of Ahlus Sunnah scholars, the above verse revealed regarding the wives of the Prophet [SAW] but “Ahlal Bayt” (People of the House) also includes other relatives of the Prophet [saw].

But according to shia view, the red part of the verse revealed specifically for five personalities only, viz., 1. Fatima [ra] 2. Ali [ra] 3. Hasan [ra] [4] Husain [ra] 5. Nine descendents of Husain [ra].

To support their claim they give many arguments. One of their argument is that the red part of the verse uses masculine gender.
However this is a weak argument because these type of gender change are not new for Quran. Quranic arabic is very rich and many times goes against the modern arabic grammer. Just take a simple example, while talking to the wife of Ibrahim [as], angels also used the same masculine gender.

قَالُوا أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
[11:73]
“They said: Do you wonder at Allah’s bidding? The mercy of Allah and His blessings are on you, O people of the house, surely He is Praised, Glorious.“

As we see here also, the Quran calls the wife of Ibrahim [as] Ahlal Bayt, and that while using the musculine gender in sentence.
The verse say “salamun ‘alaikum ahlal bayt“, and the “kum” is the same term which is used in 33:33, and is a masculine term.

Now let me give an exact example from Hadith where Prophet [saw] used masculine gender while referring to his wives as “Ahlal Bayt”.

It is mention in Sahih Muslim, Book of Marriage..

قال أنس: وشهدت وليمة زينب. فأشبع الناس خبزا ولحما. وكان يبعثني فأدعوا الناس. فلما فرغ قام وتبعته. فتخلف رجلان استأنس بهما الحديث. لم يخرجا. فجعل يمر على نسائه. فيسلم على كل واحدة منهن “سلام عليكم. كيف أنتم يا أهل البيت؟” فيقولون: بخير. يا رسول الله ! كيف وجدت أهلك ؟ فيقول “بخير” فلما فرغ رجع ورجعت معه. فلما بلغ الباب إذا هو بالرجلين قد استأنس بهما الحديث. فلما رأياه قد رجع قاما فخرجا. فوالله ! ما أدري أنا أخبرته أم أنزل عليه الوحي بأنهما قد خرجا. فرجع ورجعت معه. فلما وضع رجله في أسكفة الباب أرخى الحجاب بيني وبينه. وأنزل الله تعالى هذه الآية: {لا تدخلوا بيوت النبي إلا أن يؤذن لكم} [33 /الأحزاب/ الآية 53] الآية http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/D…Doc=1&Rec=3288

Translation of the relevant part is…
Anas said: I also saw the wedding feast of Zainab, and he (the Holy Prophet) served bread and meat to the people, and made them eat to their heart’s content, and he (the Holy Prophet) sent me to call people, and as he was free (from the ceremony) he stood up and I followed him. Two persons were left and they were busy in talking and did not get out (of the apartment). He (the Holy Prophet) then proceeded towards (the apartments of) his wives. He greeted with as-Salamu ‘alaikum to every one of them and said: Members of the household, how are you?? They said: Messenger of Allah, we are in good state ‘How do you find your family? He would say: In good state. http://www.searchtruth.com/book_disp… ber=3328#3328

Here Prophet [saw] greeted his wives as “Assalamu’alaikum. Kaifa antum ya Ahlal Bayt“. The blue parts in the sentence represent masculine gender. Hence, we see Prophet [saw] used the masculine sentence while greeting to his wives. Use of masculine gender in the above hadith doesn’t change the fact that Prophet was referring to his wives not any other members of his family.

The point here is Quranic arabic is very rich and modern arabic grammer doesn’t cover all aspects of it. We can’t just distort the context of Quran, just because it uses the masculine gender while talking to feminine, whose usage is proven for feminine by the way in the arabic books.

Now the following are some narrations which prove without doubt that Wives of the Prophet [saw] were among Ahlal Bayt…

Hazrat Aisha did consider herself among Ahlal Bayt

She (Hadrat ‘A’isha) said: He forbade us, the members of his family [Ahlal Bayt], to prepare Nabidh in gourd, or varnished jar. I said to him: Do you remember green pitcher, and pitcher?

Who will help me against a man who has hurt me by slandering my family?

Salam alaikum.

Want to share with some my thoughts.

1) It’s well known historical fact that Ali (r.a) didn’t marry with any other woman, when Fatima (r.a) was still alive.

2) Fatima (r.a) died  6 months after death of prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam).

Shias claim that: In these 6 months after death of prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) Abu Bakr (r.a) steal caliphate from Ali (r.a), Umar (r.a) wanted to burn house with Fatima (r.a) inside. Some of them even claim that Aisha (r.a) poisoned prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam).

3) Keeping in mind above mentioned facts and claims, let us go back to other historical facts.

After these 6 months, Ali (r.a) married to other women. It’s well known fact that Ali (r.a) have sons from other wifes with names Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman. Imam al-Hasan (r.a) named one from his children Talha. Imam al-Hussain (r.a) named his two sons Abu Bakr and Uthman.  It was reported that imam Jafar and Musa al-Kadhim named their daughter Aisha.

So how is it possible to unite historical facts and shia false charges against companions?! Can anyone even think about naming his child with name of person, who steal his rights, who killed his wife?

This is a complete picture, when historical facts and shia charges against companions combined together: Abu Bakr (r.a) steal caliphate, Umar (r.a) killed Fatima (r.a) with door (these are shia charges), and after this theft, and her death Ali (r.a) married other woman and named his son Umar (this is fact).

Which sane man could believe in such thing?

And second one: Aisha (r.a) poisoned prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) (this is false charge), and then two masoom imams (Jafar and Musa) named theis daughter Aisha (this is fact)?

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

Your question is about the following verse, Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance, and perform As-Salât (IqamâtasSalât), and give Zakât and obey Allâh and His Messenger. Allâh wishes only to remove ArRijs (evil deeds and sins, etc.) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet SAW), and to purify you with a thorough purification.}[33:33].

Ibn Kathir said about the interpretation of the above verse: ‘This is a text which is revealed exclusively concerning the wives of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) of the members of the family of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam).  The reason why this verse was revealed is the wives of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam).’

There is only one interpretation about the revelation of the above verse….

Ikrima used to call out in the market, (the verse): ‘Allah wishes only to remove evil deeds and sins from you, O members of the family of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and to purify you with a thorough purification’ is exclusively revealed about the wives of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam).’

It is reported in Saheeh Muslim from Zaid bin Al Arqam that Ahl al-Bayt (the members of the family of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam)) are: “They are the wives of the household of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), but the members of the family of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) are also those who were not allowed to take the Sadaqa after him.  He said, ‘and who are they?  He replied: He said: ‘They are the family of Ali, the family of Aqil, the family of Jafar, and the family of Abbas, …”

Therefore, Ahl ul-Bayt (members of the family of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam)) in the verse, it could either refer to the wives of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), because it is because of them that the verse was revealed, or to all the members of Ahl ul-Bayt.

Anyway, either the verse was particularly revealed about the wives of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), or it is general about all the members of the family of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), Imam Ali, Fatimah, Hassan and Hussein, may Allah be pleased with them all, they are all among those whom Allah wanted to remove the evil deeds and sins from.

Imam Muslim reported that Ayisha (Radiya Allahu Anha) narrated, “The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) went out one morning, …… then Hassan bin Ali came, so let him in, then Hussein came and entered with him, then Fatimah came and he let her in.  Then he said: “Allah wishes only to remove evil deeds and sins from you, o members of the family of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and to purify you with a thorough purification”.

Allah knows best.

Hafsah calling Safiyyah the daughter of a Jew

Question: Could you please relate the hadith about Hafsah calling Safiyyah the daughter of a Jew, and the Prophet showing that her lineage is an honor. Is it authentic? I like this account, because some people claim that Islam dislikes Jews as people – on a racial level. This proves that Islam has nothing against Jews as a people.

Answered by Sheikh Salman al-Oadah
On one occasion, the Prophet’s wife Hafsah chided her co-wife Safiyyah by calling her “the daughter of a Jew”. She started to cry.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) then came in and asked her why she was crying. She said: “Hafsah called me the daughter of a Jew.”

To this the Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: “Verily, you are the daughter of a Prophet, your uncle was also a Prophet, and you are the wife of a Prophet, so what does she have over you to boast about?”

He then turned to Hafsah and said: “Fear Allah, O Hafsah.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhî (3862)]

[This hadîth is authentic. It has been determined to be authentic by al-Albânî in Sahîh wa Da`îf Sunan al-Tirmidhî (3894) and al-Mishkât (6183).]

Safiyyah’s statement was true, because Safiyyah’s father, Hubayy b. Akhtab, was in fact a Jew who had died without ever accepting Islam. Still, such a comment was meant as a take on Safiyyah’s person, which was only more hurtful as it was coming from her co-wife.

Safiyyah was a descendant of Aaron (peace be upon him). So, when Hafsah insinuated that Safiyyah’s being of Jewish descent was something bad, the Prophet (peace be upon him) showed Hafsah another way of looking at it: that Safiyyah was the descendant of Prophet Aaron and that her uncle was Moses, and that her husband was Muhammad (peace be upon them all), so there was no reason at all for her to be ashamed of being of Jewish descent.

Who murdered al-Hasan bin Ali?

Question: Who murdered al-Hasan, the son of `Alî (may Allah be pleased with them both)?

Answered by Sheikh Khâlid Husayn
The books of biography and history do not pinpoint anyone as being the murderer of al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is consensus among scholars that he was poisoned. However, al-Hasan refused to declare who poisoned him.

Imam al-Dhahabî relates in his book Siyar A`lâm al-Nubalâ’ (3/273) that al-Husayn asked his brother al-Hasan: “O brother, tell me who gave you this drink (the poisoned one)?”

Al-Hasan said: “Why. So you can kill him?”

He said: “Yes.”

Al-Hasan said: “I will not tell you anything. If it was the one I expect, then Allah will give him a more severe punishment. Otherwise I will not accuse an innocent, so he will be killed.”

The same is related by Ibn Hajr al-`Asqâlânî in al-Isâbah fî Tamyîz al-Sahâbah (2/66).

And Allah knows best.

What do we say about Mu`âwiyah?

Question: What do we say about Mu`âwiyah? Is it true that he instituted the practice of cursing `Alî b. Abî Tâlib on the pulpit?

Answered by Sheikh Muhammad al-Turkî, professor at King Sa`ûd University
The narration that Mu`awiyah is the one who initiated cursing `Alî b. Abî Tâlib on the pulpit is not authentic. Moreover, Mu`âwiyah was a prominent Companion who knew and respected the other Companions, so it can not be believed on hearsay that he ordered Muslims to do this.

I would like to warn the questioner not to rely on history books in these issues, since these books are full of unauthenticated and spurious stories. Experts in history concur with this.

The position of Ahl al-Sunnah on Mu`âwiyah is similar to their position on other Companions. We ask Allah to bless them all and be pleased with them. Mu`âwiyah is one of them, and his companionship with the Prophet (peace be upon him) is firmly established. Hence, it is unlawful to derogate him, since he is a Companion, and whoever does so is facing real danger in his religion and belief.

I remind my dear questioner of a what Imam Ahmad b. Hanbal said when he heard a man derogate Mu`âwiyah and `Amr b. al-`Âs: “ This man dares to talk about them because he has a corrupt heart. No one hates a Companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) except those who have a corrupted heart.”

When al-Hasan al-Basrî was asked about those who curse Mu`âwiyah and Ibn al-Zubayr, he said: “May Allah curse those who curse them.”

You should warn others to the seriousness of this issue. May Allah guide us all to the right path.

Hadith About Aisha’s House and Satan’s Horns [A Sunni Perspective]

Praise be to Allah for giving us this opportunity to defend the Prophet’s wife. Truly what an amazing honor this is. May Allah raise us up with those who defend the Ahlel Bayt, as opposed to those who slander the blessed Ahlel Bayt. As for those who slander and insult the Prophet’s own wives, we can only imagine the Prophet’s anger towards these erring people; indeed, not even the vilest and most debased Shia would tolerate someone insulting his own wife! It will be the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah that will forever guard the honor of our Beloved’s beloved.

Shia Slander Against the Mother of the Believers

Despite the fact that Umm al Mu’mineen Aisha is part of the blessed Ahlel Bayt, the Shia propagandists revile her; of the many slanders they utter against her, one of their favorites is to claim that the “horns of Satan” or the “head of Satan” would emerge from Aisha’s house. This is based on their horrible misinterpretation of Sunni Hadith which they then propagate amongst the ignorant ones amongst the Sunnis. In fact, the Hadiths in question have nothing at all to do with Aisha, but rather the Prophet was simply pointing in the direction of the East towards Iraq (i.e. the Persian Empire at that time). An analogy of this is if a man asks which direction is Qiblah, and his friend points towards a certain house on the street. This simply means that Qiblah is in that direction. The Prophet did not at all mean that Aisha’s house would be the source of Satan’s horns, but rather he meant the East. In relation to where the Prophet was standing, Aisha’s house simply happened to be in the direction of the East.

Now let us reproduce the Hadiths from both Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari. We read:

Sahih Muslim, Book 041, Number 6938:

Ibn Umar reported that he heard Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying while he had turned his face towards the East: “Behold, turmoil would appear from this side, from where the horns of Satan would appear.”

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/041.smt.html#041.6938

Sahih Muslim, Book 041, Number 6939:

Ibn Umar reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood by the door (of the apartment of) gafsa and, pointing towards the East, he said: “The turmoil would appear from this side, viz. where the horns of Satan would appear,” and he uttered these words twice or thrice; and Ubaidullah in his narration said: the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had been standing by the door of Aisha.
