A question arises here that isnt the explanation of the verse (and his wives are their mothers) against the verses mentioned
before. Because there it is mentioned Those who declare their wives as their mothers, and in fact they use false words, thei r
mothers are only the ones who bore them. In this situation, how can the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) be
considered the mothers of the believers. This point should be noted in answering the question at hand that addressing a woman
as mother is either due to biological relation, or spiritual relation. This meaning could be only in the case of biological relation,
and this is the same thing which is mentioned in the earlier verses, that a persons biological mother is only the one who bore
him. But the spiritual mother and father are those who have a kind of special right over them, as the Prophet (peace be upon
him) is considered the spiritual father of the nation, and due to him, his wives hold the respect which a mother holds.

It is narrated from Imam Qaim that he was asked about the right of divorce, That the Messenger of Allah (s) left it at the
discretion of Amirul Momineen (i.e Ali)? He replied: The Almighty Allah, hallowed be His name, gave an exalted status to the
wives of the Prophet and gave them the honor of being the mothers of the faithful. Thus the Messenger of Allah (s) told Amirul
Momineen : O Abal Hasan, this status is valid for them till they remain in the obedience of the Almighty Allah. So whoever of
them disobeys Allah and after that me, comes out in armed confrontation against you, remove her from my wife-hood and take
away her status of motherhood of faithful.
Tafsir Nur al thaqalayn, Vol. 5, p. 372
The 12th Imam of Shias was right in saying that Allah gave an exalted status to the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
when he declared them the mothers of the believers. But he was wrong when he said that the status was taken away from
Ayesha, for the first Imam Ali said, as is mentioned in Nahjul Balagha after the battle of Jamal
She has the same respect afterwards as she had earlier, and the accountability is on Allah to take.
Nahjul balagha, p. 335
We have proven from the books of Sunnis and Shias that the verse of Holy Quran 33:6 not only proves the veneration of the
status of the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him), but we have also proven from the authentic books of Shias that Ayesha
(may Allah be pleased with her) specifically held this status of respect even after the battle of Jamal. It is upto the Shias
whether they accept the truth or stick to the ignorance.

Haider Ali You Said: Rasulullah s.a.aw wants to emphasise the status and honor of the family of Fatima sa. as per the verse.
RESPONSE: Emphasize before whom? Before Allah or believers? If you say believers then, this wouldnt have been done
inside a home, where only his wife or servant present. This shows that your excuse is not rational. And if the purpose was to
emphasize the status and honor, then a declaration addressing people would have been made. Not a dua inside house.
You Said: The sunni brothers should answer this question too.
If the purification was for the wives, why then are others included? W
RESPONSE: Others are included because Prophet(saw) wanted them to be included , that is why he made the dua for them.
Simple.
You said: The only way out is IF we follow the tafseer of Rasulullah s.a.a.w where he mention the verse of tatheer on its own
and did not include the wives. Our sunni brothers should not discard the tafseer of Rasulullah s.a.a.w for their own tafseer or
worse an atheist..
RESPONSE: I say, Improve your understanding and communication skills, if you are mature. RasoolAllah(saw) didnt make any
tafseer for this which we are discarding, we are affirming what Prophet(saw) did, So stop making these false accusations on us.
We affirm what Prophet(saw) did, but what He(saw) in no way shows that the verse was not revealed for wives of Prophet(saw).
Prophet(saw) no where said , this verse is revealed for these people only, nor said this to people. He was directing his
supplication to Allah, thats it. And if you need explicit tafseer about the reason of its revelation then its by Ibn Abbas(ra) who
was blessed with understanding of Quran due to supplication of , and he said that, this was revealed for wives of Prophet(saw).

There is no true muslim who would believe that anyone deserves disrespect and abuse what more the wives of Rasulullah
s.a.a.w.
But this is not the crux of the issue.
The issue here is that a school of thought consider that the wives are being honored for merely being wives and are beyond
criticism. Such that IF history tells us that a wife of the prophet s.a.a.w commited murder, the response would be that we cannot
criticise her because she is the wife of the prophet s.a.a.w.
While another school of thought clarifies, that the wives are to be respected because this is an honour bestowed upon
Rasulullah s.a.a.w.
There is no problem in respecting the wives of Rasulullah s.a.a.w or even any sinner after they had commited any sin. This is
because sinners are humans too.
This is the beautiful teaching of Islam that Nabi Musa a.s. was told even to speak gently to Firaun.
However, does Islam then tell us to respect the sin? Does Islam tell us that criticism is not allowed? Does Islam teaches us to
close one eye towards sinful behavior from someone if he or she has a rank of mother or father?
You missed the point totally my dear brother in Islam.
My point was that the title Mother of Believers which entitled them to a form of respect(in terms of remarrying)was an honour
bestowed upon Rasulullah s.a.a.w and not due to any merit of their own. The title mother of the believers does not come with
special immunity from sin or hellfire,
The context was with regards to the prohibition of remarrying. This was mentioned in the sunni tafseer as well.
Otherwise, Allah s.w.t clearly say
O wives of the Prophet! If any of you were to become guilty of manifestly immoral conduct, double [that of other sinners] would
be her suffering [in the hereafter]: for that is indeed easy for God
"And whoever of you is obedient to Allah and His Messenger and does good, We will give to her her reward doubly, and We
have prepared for her an honorable sustenance."

Your objection with regards to Rasulullah s.a.a.w making it clear was that he should have emphasised it repeatedly in public.
And yes, he did.
He pointed to the house of Fatima s.a. and did that in public.
He s.a.a.w mention the verse of tatheer many times. And every single narration tells us that he did not include the preceding or
after verse where wives were mentioned.
This is amazing. Mashaallah.
Why would Rasulullah s.a.a.w do that?
If the verse was one whole verse, why did he not narrate the whole Quranic verse?
And this bring to us the question. Whose house exactly is being mentioned in ayat tatheer?

Yusuf Best The Messenger of Allah recited the following verse: In houses which Allah has ordered to be raised, in them His
Name is remembered. A man approached him and asked him, Which houses are they O Messenger of Allah? He replied,
The houses of the Prophets. So Abu Bakr asked him while pointing to the house of Ali and Fatima: Is this house included
amongst those houses? The Messenger of Allah replied: Yes, it is the best amongst them!(Ad-Dur Al-manthur 6:203, Ruhul

RESPONSE: My friend, you have gained half knowledge regarding this issue, and you have misunderstood what type of honour
the wives of Prophet(saw) received by being termed as Mother of believers. And as it clearly mentioned in the tafseers I
presented, the honour was for wives of Prophet(saw). Now, the half knowledge which you arent aware of is , why were wives of
Prophet(saw) prohibited to remarry after Prophet(Saw)? In what way is this an honor for them, the answer is present in the
follow ahadeeth.
:
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: 'I asked Allah that I marry none of my people but she be with me i n the Heaven and I was
granted.' (Mustadrik Al-Hakim, Hadith 4650. Hakim termed it as Sahih)
And as they were to be the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) both here and hereafter so the wives of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) were
not allowed to marry any other person. This is the special honour for them.
This narration of al-Bayhaqi which is authentic according to al-Albani, says that the only reason we aren't allowed to marry the
wives of the prophet (saw) is because they're supposed to be his wives in HEAVEN, the wife remains with her last husband:
Now is your half knowledge complete , this is the honour they received, that is being wife of Prophet(saw) even in Heaven, and
if you need a specific hadeeth for Ayesha(as) being wife of Prophet(saw) in heaven, then be my guest.

Haider Ali Yusuf Best You said: And yes, he did. He pointed to the house of Fatima s.a. and did that in public.
RESPONSE: I know where you are refering, but sorry to disappoint you all is routes are weak. Yet regardless of its authentici ty,
it isnt the answer to my question, because again in that report, public were not ADDRESSED, RATHER AGAIN THE
ADDRESSEE were Ahlekisa, if as you believe it was a kind of declaration, then why wouldnt just make a clear statement and
address people, directly, Prophet(saw) was always clear and direct in his speech when he would make a declaration and this is
how the style of ambiya is, they cant keep things unclear and expect people to understand things from their own. That is why
the hadeeth you are referring is easily interpreted as a reminder to people of Kisa, and Prophet(saw) would call salah, along
with it, indicating that the condition to their purification was Salah. There is no other reason he would remind them of Salah,
because they obviously would read Salah. Because saying Salah before this before, indicates that it was the condition for their
purification.
YOU SAID: If the verse was one whole verse, why did he not narrate the whole Quranic verse?
RESPONSE: It is because, the initial part of verse had certain condition or commands for purification which were in particular
for wives of Prophet(saw), and those conditions werent and couldnt be applicable to Ahle Kisa, Thats why the initial portion of
verse or the whole verse was not recited.

RESPONSE: Regardless of the authenticity of this report, (BECAUSE you may not know, but scholars of tafsir quote, all sort of
reports which are related to a verse, and suggest the most stronger one, but not all become true), this report doesnt excludes
the other houses of Prophet(saw), which were of his wives. Even those are included in it. So again you wasted time bring this
up, just may be to help yourself in the going.
One verse is sufficient for this hadeeth, which is regarding remembrance of Allah:
And remember what is recited in your houses of the verses of Allah and wisdom. Indeed, Allah is ever Subtle and Acquainted
[with all things].(33:34)
Guess who are addressed in this verse, its the wives of Prophet(Saw)?

The matter has been covered completely above and there is no need to add any new things to the discussion .
I just would like to respond to a contradiction in one of the points that you raised.
You mentioned that the initial part of the verse contain conditions for purification, and it is pertaining for the wives and is not
applicable to ahli kisa.
YET, you believe that the purification portion can be applicable for the ahli kisa.
Is this not a CLEAR contradiction?
How can the purification comes with conditions yet the ahli kisa are purified without the conditions?
Is that logic possible?
Again, the problem with your theory is that u can never find the asbabun nuzul of the verse of tatheer where the first portion of
the wives are mentioned. It simply does not exist because the ayat tatheer was never revealed for the wives.
Lastly, I would like to address the issue of the wives being exalted JUST because they are wives.
You even include a sunni hadith where wives are guaranteed a place in heaven just because of marriage.
Fair enough, since the verse is sahih according to your standards, whatever that is, you may accept it but it is not hujjah on us.
However, do know that the Quran does not have this principle.
The Quran says that wives of Rasulullah s.a.a.w are to be punished doubled if they commit a sin and two wives were threaten
with divorce and being replaced with better ones.
Lastly, I would also like to highlight an important point that u may have missed. Wives of Rasulullah s.a.a.w are called mother of
believers.
IF we are to take that as a exalted spiritual position, then why did Rasulullah s.a.a.w called Fatima s.a. the chief of the women
of the worlds?
She is the head even over mothers of believers?
THINK.

AbdulKhaliq S. Saripada The guarantee that verses 33:30 to 33:34 is revealed solely for the wives of the prophet pbuh this
also proves further that the alleged hadith for the ahl al kissa happens at the residence of the one of the prophet's wife therefore
proves that these verses of purification were actually intended for the wives of the prophet pbuh.
