Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: One morning, the Prophet (ﷺ) went out wearing a cloak 1 of black hair. Hasan ibn Ali came, and he included him under it. Then Husayn came and entered with him. Then Fatimah came, and he included her. Then Ali came, and he included him. Then he said: Indeed, Allah intends to remove impurity from you, O people of the [Prophet’s] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification [Qur’an 33:33]. [Narrated by Muslim]
Al-Baydawi said: The Shia’s specification of the household as Fatimah, Ali, and their sons, and their argument for their infallibility and that their consensus is authoritative, is weak. This is because specifying them does not align with what precedes and follows the verse, and the Hadiths indicate that they are part of the household, not that the household is exclusively them.

علامہ بیضاوی نے فرمایا: شیعہ حضرات کا اہل بیت کو سیدہ فاطمہ اور حضرت علی اور ان کے دو صاحبزادوں کے ساتھ خاص کرنا اور ان کے معصوم ہونے پر اس سے استدلال کرنا اور ان کے اجماع کو حجت بنانا ضعیف ہے۔ کیونکہ اہل بیت کو ان کے ساتھ خاص کرنے کی، آیت کے ماقبل اور مابعد سے کوئی مناسبت نہیں اور احادیث شریفہ سے یہ معلوم ہوتا ہے وہ اہل بیت ہیں یہ نہیں کہ اہل بیت ان کے سوا نہیں ہیں۔
