In any case, I think this thread should be deleted. I ask dear brother H2H to do that. Because there is NO WAY that this thread will remain peaceful.
I will try to answer the question without inciting any sectarianism. I will merely respond by saying that the Sunnis and the Shias differ on who is Ahl al-Bayt.
Shia Viewpoint
The Shias say that the Ahl al-Bayt consists of 14 people only:
1. Prophet Muhammad [s]
2. Ali [ra]
3. Fatima [ra]
3. Hasan [ra]
5. Hussayn [ra]
6. The rest of their 12 Imams
And sometimes they include Salman al-Farisi [ra] as well.
Sunni Viewpoint
The Sunnis say that the Ahl al-Bayt consists of:
1. The Prophet’s wives
2. The Prophet’s children
3. The Prophet’s freed slaves
4. Ahl al-Kisa (People of the Cloak, i.e. Ali ibn Abi Talib’s family)
5. The family of Aqil
6. The offspring of Jafar
7. The offspring of Abbas
8. Salman al-Farsi
The major dispute then between Sunnis and Shias about this matter is if the Prophet's wives are included in Ahl al-Bayt, because this would include Bibi Aisha [ra] and Bibi Hafsa [ra]. You can see how this would be an issue.
Anyways, I will not post evidence to support my position, just because that will cause a cage match to the death.
I urge you to delete this thread, and message me on MSN instead bro.
