Sunni View
Regarding the hadith, Sunnis dispute that it was about the spiritual importance or authority of Muhammad's wives and their children or servants, for in the verse some Sunni ahadith relate the legacy of Muhammad to the definition of “Ahl al-Bayt”.
A narration attributed to 'A'isha reports:
| “ | that God's Apostle (may peace be upon him) went out one morning wearing a striped cloak of the black camel's hair that there came Hasan b. 'Ali. He wrapped him under it, then came Husain and he wrapped him under it along with the other one (Hasan). Then came Fatima and he took her under it, then came 'Ali and he also took him under it and then said: God only desires to take away any uncleanliness from you, O people of the household, and purify you (thorough purifying)" | ” |

Famous quotes containing the word view:
“Those who wander in the world avowedly and purposely in pursuit of happiness, who view every scene of present joy with an eye to what may succeed, certainly are more liable to disappointment, misfortune and unhappiness, than those who give up their fate to chance and take the goods and evils of fortune as they come, without making happiness their study, or misery their foresight.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
