what is the definition of Ahl ul Bayt

[Pagluu]

@psyah

Peace All

Concise notes:

The word Ahl has been confused to be considered Aal throughout this thread.

Ahl - means = The Way/The People
Aal - means = The Children/The Family

Please when referencing hadith do not confuse the two, some people have already posted hadith on Aal trying to justify the definition for Ahl.

Secondly the verse in the Qur’an regarding the bringing of ones children, women etc is not applicable for the definition of Ahl so please avoid using this verse.

There is one hadith on the thread the one posted from Muslim. The two versions posted here show that there is some confusion regarding it. That is the only reference worth looking at so far. Please bring direct hadith like this one for defining AHL and not ones own sense of interpretation of other hadith. Of course in the absence of direct references to AHL one can do that, but we have plenty of direct references.

AHL-Al-BAYT is the Way of the Household.

One does not even need to be a blood member to be part of this. This is also confirmed in Abrahamic faiths from previous scripture, read up on the references to the covenant.

Brother Psyah,

There is plenty of hadiths on this topic and I shall paste some for you. Would you please clarify the bolded part of your post?
