Ahl Al Bayt

In the tradition of Islam , the term Ahl al-Bayt ^{Shi'a Viewpoint}

The definition of Ahl al-Bayt was given by Mohammed himself in the "hadith of the cloak"

" `Aisha said that the messenger of God came a morning coat with striped wool is camel black when Hasan ibn 'Ali arrived. He wrapped in his cloak, while Husayn arrived, he wrapped in his cloak with the other. Then came Fatima and he put it under his coat, then came 'Ali and he also took under his coat. He then said "God does not want you to stay away from all impurity, O! "People of the house", and cleanse you "

Shiites infer that people in the house are:

Followed by the imams , which for Twelver means:

These people in the house are called "fourteen infallible."

In a hadith reported by Al-Tirmidhi in his book Al-Jami `al-Sahih,` Aisha was then asked to be covered by the mantle. Mohammed allegedly replied that it was reserved for people of the house. Shiites consider this hadith as proof that the wives of the prophet are not people of the house, let alone their descendants.

The Court Shiite provides that neither the people of the house or the direct descendants of Muhammad through one of the twelve Imams ( Sayyid ) can collect alms ( Zakat ). They can collect alms from the end of Ramadan ( Zakat al-Fitr ) of another Sayyid. They can receive a share of ( Khums ) with permission of Marja-e `Taqlid.

Sunni Viewpoint

The range of people in the house is wider.

On the way back from his farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad halted midway between Mecca and Medina at a place called Ghadir Khumm. There, during a sermon, Muhammad announced his approaching end. In the Hadith, Hadith of Ghadir Khumm said, narrated by Muslim , Muhammad reportedly said he left behind him two important things: One is the Book of God (The Quran ) and my Sunnah (Hadith)

The second is my offspring, I remember your duties to the members of my family. Husayn ibn Zayd ibn Sabra asked Arqam: Who are the members of the family? Is not that their widows who are his family? Zayd replied: Their widows and family members, that is to say all those who can not receive alms (Zakat)? And who are they? 'Ali and his descendants, `Aqil and its progeny, Ja `far and its progeny and offspring of Abbas. Husayn ibn Sabra said: Those who do not accept alms ( Zakat ). Zayd said: Yes .

"

For Sunnis to Shiites as the descendants of `Ali are among the people of the house. They also include the widows of Muhammad and their descendants Hashemites and all their descendants until now.

Some, whereas what matters is piety ( Taqwa ) and not the blood, even widening the scope to all devout Muslims.

Today, the dynasties that are part of Ahl Al Bayt are Idrissids the Saadi , the Alawite in Morocco and the Hashemites in Jordan.
