Those under the Cloak - Hadith al-Kisaa | Sayed Hussain Makke

Hadith al-Kisaa as narrated by the wife of the Prophet (s), Um Salama.

The Ahlulbayt were those under the cloak, namely the Prophet, Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussain.

The verse of purification in the Quran {33:33} was revealed about them.

--
Note: There are two main sources for Hadith al-Kisaa. The one people usually recite goes back to Jaber al-Ansari, whereas this version is based on Um Salama's report.

Ultimately, they both lead to the same conclusion, in that the Ahlulbayt were the people under the cloak, and that {33:33} refers to them.
