Ask a Shia

[Muslimah]

Bismillah


To continue filling the gaps here, as for the infamous hadeethul kisaa which forms a no less essential foundation of the Shia belief in identifying Ahul Bayt.and in turn who is Ma`soum. In the hadeeth, Umm Salama attempted to enter into the Kisaa, but the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam stopped her saying you are on Khair (you are already in a good status). At the time I was discussing this with Karbala, I stopped to avoid making preference between people with whom we can not even compare. From post # 122 to like 130, hadeethu l kisaa is deeply discussed in an effort from Karbala to prove how the wives of the Messenger salla alyhee wa sallam and may Allah be pleased with all of them are execluded from Ayah 33:33 although as explained, it falls well within a set of Ayahs addressing them. In fact, the response falls within the hadeeth itself. By stopping Umm Salama from coming under the kisaa with Fatima, Ali, Hassan and Hussain may Allah be pleased with them and the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam telling her you are on good, it confirms that she is already covered by this merit by virtue of the Ayah and thus, does not need to join them now, as at this point the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam aimed to include Fatima and her family into this Divine promise of purification and not otherwise. In other words, the Ayah grants the wives Divine purification and the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam desired the same for Fatima and her family may Allah be pleased with them all, thus, he includes them in his household under the kisaa. But Sobhan Allah, Shia scholars go against all reasoning and twist facts just to establish a different fact.
