(1) (A) and (B) read: “to do what they were commanded to do and refrain from what they were forbidden to do … was attained.” (2) (S), (H), (M), (R), and (W) read: “not something whose occurrence was stated.” (3) (A) and (B) read: “Fātima and Alī.” (4) The hadith narrated from Ā’isha—may Allah be pleased with her—is in Muslim, 4/1883 (Book of the Merits of the Companions, Chapter on the Merits of the Household of the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace). Its wording is: “Ā’isha said: The Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—went out early one morning wearing a black woolen cloak patterned with camel-saddle motifs. Al-Hasan ibn Alī came, and he took him beneath it. Then al-Husayn came and joined him beneath it. Fātima then came, and he took her beneath it. Alī then came, and he took him beneath it. He then said: ‘Allah only intends to remove impurity from you, O People of the House, and to purify you completely’ [Sūrat al-Ahzāb: 33].” A hadith with similar wording is narrated from Umm Salama—may Allah be pleased with her—in Sunan al-Tirmidhī, vol. 5 (Book of Tafsīr, Sūrat al-Ahzāb), 5/328 (Book of Virtues, Chapter on the Virtues of the Household of the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and al-Musnad (al-Halabī ed.), 6/4298, 292. It also forms part of a lengthy hadith from Ibn Abbās in al-Musnad (al-Maʿārif ed.), 5/25 27. (5) “The opposite of” is omitted from (N). (6) (A), (B), (S), (H), and (R) read: “that he did not state that this had occurred.” (7) “Already” is omitted from (A) and (B).
