as salam alykom
Karbala jazakum Allah khairan for posting the additional meanings, I mis expressed and of course a student may certainly correct the teacher.
The word Ahl is used in many location to refer to wife as in: Taha: 10 and 55, Anbiya: 84, Sad: 43 and Naml:7.
What i wanted to emphsis is this sense, I m familiar with other sense.
But as for Ahul bayt being Masoum based on the hadeeth or even based on the Ayah of purification is in my humble opinion does not mean so. Allah Was very Clear on this brother Karbala Stating the
67. O Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allâh will protect you from mankind. Verily, Allâh guides not the people who disbelieve.
Again on the Ayahs of Al Ahzab, if u look carefully it starts by describing the wives of the Messenger as not like any other women. Isnt this enough to convey what their rank is???? Besides they are not supposed to be married after his death, does this apply to any other women?? certainly not.
I respected your attitude much when u said that u dont follow the scholars blindly. We are all aware that Shia scholars have their views about Aisha may Allah Be pleased with her due to the Camel situation she got into with Ali Radiya Allahu a`nhu.
As u explained to me that part of the foundation of the faith is to believe in Imamah who has to be of the Ahlu bayt. In such case, do u mean that all those from Ahul bayt who live among us today, they are many, are infallible????
