Virtues of ahle bait nabvi sallallahu alaihivasallam
Ahle bait’s first meaning is azwaaj e mutahiraat
This is a reality in which there is no room for doubt that the word ahle bait in qurane kareem was used for azwaaj e mutaharaat. In surah al-ahzab, verse 33, after giving azwaaj e mutaharaat some special guidance, it was said,
_Innama yureedullahu liyuzhiba ankumur rijsa ahlal baiti wa yutahhirakum tatheera_
The meaning is, o wives of our prophet, these special guidances given to you, allah ta'ala’s purpose is not to put you in hardship, rather allah ta'ala’s intention with these guidances is to purify you from every type of apparent and hidden evil and filth. Whoever knows arabic even a little, after reading this full ruku of surah al-ahzab, will have no doubt that here the word ahle bait was used for rasulullah sallallahu alaihivasallam’s azwaaje mutaharaat. But how strange it is that we muslims who believe in quran, our condition today is that hearing the word ahle bait, our mind does not go to azwaaj mutaharaat at all, rather it goes to aap sallallahu alaihivasallam’s daughter hazrat fatima zohra raziyallahu anha and her husband hazrat ali murtuza raziyallahu anhu and both of their offspring hazraat hasnain raziyallahu anhum.
*Ahle bait and huzur sallallahu alaihivasallam’s dua*
There is no room for doubt that the word ahle bait in quran paak was used for azwaaj e mutaharaat aap sallallahu alaihivasallam’s pure wives, and they are its first meaning. However, from hadith paak it is proven that when this ayat of surah al-ahzab ayat no 33 was revealed, rasulullah sallallahu alaihivasallam took his daughter hazrat fatima raziyallahi anha, her two sons hazrat hasan and hazrat husain raziyallahu anhum, and with them her husband hazrat ali raziyallahu anhu under a cloak with himself and made dua. O allah, these are also my ahle bait. Remove every type of evil and filth from them too and purify them completely. Without doubt huzur e sallallahu alaihivasallam’s this dua was accepted and these hazraat also were included in ahle bait. In short, the matter is that azwaaj e mutaharaat aap sallallahu alaihivasallam’s pure wives are not excluded from ahle bait, rather saying that this word only means aap sallallahu alaihivasallam’s one daughter, one son in law and two grandsons is not correct by language nor proven from quran hadith. Rather due to conspiracy of a specific sect’s people, this mistake got common acceptance in ummat. And due to our simplicity and innocence, like many other wrong things, this also got general acceptance. As said, condition became that hearing ahle bait, even our well educated people’s mind does not go to azwaaj e mutaharaat who by quran majeed’s ayat are its first meaning.

*Azwaaj mutaharaat raziyallahu anhuma*
As known from authentic narrations of hadith sharif, rasoolullah sallallahu alaihivasallam’s azwaaj mutaharaat who stayed with you as married wives for short or long period are 11 in total. Their blessed names are:
1. Hazrat khadija rd bint khuveld.
2. Hazrat sauda rd bint zama'a.
3. Hazrat aaisha rd bint abu bakar rd.
4. Hazrat hafsha rd bint umar bin khattab rd.
5. Hazrat zainab rd bint khuzema.
6. Hazrat umme salma rd bint abi ummyya.
7. Hazrat zainab rd bint jahash.
8. Hazrat juveriya rd bint haris bin abi zaraar.
9. Haztat umme habiba rd bint abu sufiyan rd.
10. Hazrat safiya rd bint hayi bin akhtab.
11. Hazrat memuna rd bint haris.
Among them hazrat khadija and hazrat zainab bint khuzema raziyallahu anhuma passed away in huzur sallallahu alaihivasallam’s life. From some narrations it is known that besides these 11, about hazrat rihana sham'un from banu qureza, when huzur sallallahu alaihivasallam took action against banu qurez for their betrayal and their remaining people were arrested, hazrat rihana was also among them. Some say she accepted islam, so she was freed and huzur sallallahu alaihivasallam took her in nikah. But in some narrations she did not get the honor of being huzur sallallahu alaihivasallam’s married wife, rather she stayed with you as a bondwoman, and passed away in huzur sallallahu alaihivasallam’s life after hajjatul vida.
Wallahu aalam
