We are told by Zayd, Arqam's son that one day the Prophet said thrice, "I beseech you by Allah! The People of my House!" When Zayd asked whom he meant by the "People of his House", he replied, "The family of Ali, the family of Ja'far (son of Abu Talib), the family of Uqayl (son of Abu Talib), and the family of Al Abbas."
Shortly before the Prophet passed away he told his Companions, "I am leaving you with something. Take hold of it and you will not go astray: the Book of Allah, my family and the people of my House. Take care to follow my instruction regarding them."
Omar, Salama's son tells us that the verse, "O family of the House, Allah only wishes to distance fault from you and cleanse you" (33:33) was sent down in the house of Lady Umm Salama, may Allah be pleased with her, whereupon, the Prophet called for his daughter Lady Fatima and her sons Hasan and Hussain and wrapped them in a garment as Ali stood behind him and said, "O Allah, these are the People of my House, so remove all impurity from them and purify them completely".
Saad, Abi Wakkas' son spoke of the verse in which the challenge of Allah is invoked, "To those who dispute with you concerning him after the knowledge has come to you, say, 'Come, let us gather our sons and your sons, our womenfolk and your womenfolk, ourselves and yourselves. Then let us humbly pray and so lay the curse of Allah upon the ones who lie'" (3:61). Saad said that when this verse was revealed the Prophet called Ali, Hasan, Hussain and Fatima and said, "O Allah, these are my family."
Concerning the rank of Ali, may Allah honor his face, the Prophet said, "Whosoever gives me love and victory, let him give it to Ali. O Allah, give victory and love for whosoever gives him victory and love, and be an enemy for whosoever takes him as an enemy." (Shaykh Darwish added: This hadith is reported in Musnad Ahmad and ibn Hiban and Nisai with multiple authentic chain of narrators. Hafiz ibn Hajjar said, "Hafiz ibn Oqda gathered it in a book of which most quotations are authentic or designated as being fine. Suyuti said, it is Mutawatta (collectively reported). Hafiz Zahabi said, it has fine chains. The meaning of the Arabic word "mowalah" in this hadith means Islamic love and support. It does not mean becoming an appointed imam, though Ali was elected to be the fourth guided caliph, because the Prophet says the truth and the claim of the Shia would render the first three caliphs in error together with the Emigrants and Supporters who collectively elected one caliph after the other by giving them their allegiance. With such understanding, the Shi'ite twelve imams have earned the anger of Allah and His Prophet by accusing such a fine generation who spread the Koran and sunnah
