Re: Ahle bait
Why don't you, armughal, and ibn Sadique, ever talk about Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidatina Khadijah (alaiyhis-salaam) as being from Ahl' al-Bayt then? All you ever talk about is the prophet's (saws) other wives (radi'Allah ta'ala anhuma). Also notice that Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidatina Fatima az-Zahra (as) was the daughter of Sayyidina Rasul-Allah (saws) and Sayyidatina Khadijah (as)...I am not surprised the least bit at the lack of respect of not even mentioning her name by some people talking about the Prophet's (saws) wives.
Also neither of you have explained as of yet as to why Amir al-Mu'mineen, Sayyidina Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) was a part of Rasul-Allah's (saws) ahl' al-Bayt. If it only refers to the prophet's (saws) wives, then why do you not speak about this as mentioned in Hadith al-Kisa, and how Rasul-Allah (saws) after Sura 33, ayat 33 was revealed to him (saws) that he went knocking on the door of the house of Sayyidatina Fatima az-Zahra (as) and recited this verse to her and the rest of the ahl' al-bayt???
It is clear that ahl' al-Bayt refers to only these five, as this is a central and important aspect in Islam. Imam al-Mahdi (as) is a descendant of ahl' al-bayt, the only descendants to this day around the world are from Imam Hasan (as) and Imam Husayn (as). I think it's time for some solid, proven answers from some people here who seem to be presenting confusion after confusion to others. It is very unfortunate and sad to see such things going on.
May Allah (swt) keep us on Haqq.
