Brief Comments on Riyaadh al-Saaliheen #36

The wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم are from Ahl al-Bait

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

[Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen, pg. 3/223]

Shaikh al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

Allaah تعالى said in the honor of the wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم:

وأقمن الصلاة وءاتين الزكاة وأطعن الله ورسوله، إنما يريد الله ليذهب عنكم الرجس أهل البيت ويطهركم تطهيرا 

{…and perform As-Salât (the prayers), and give Zakât (obligatory charity) and obey Allâh and His Messenger [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]. Allâh wishes only to remove Ar-Rijs (evil deeds and sins) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet ), and to purify you with a thorough purification.} [Surah al-Ahzaab (33):33]

The text is very clear and explicit that the wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم are from Ahl al-Bait, opposite of what the Raafidhah say: “the wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم are not from Ahl al-Bait.” (As per this text) they are from Ahl al-Bait without doubt.
