Virtues of the Ahlul Bayt
\n<\/strong>
\nAbu Hurairah radiyallahu \u2018anhu reports that Rasulullah \ufdfa said:
\n\u0623\u0646\u0627 \u0633\u064a\u062f \u0648\u0644\u062f \u0622\u062f\u0645 \u064a\u0648\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u064a\u0627\u0645\u0629 \u0648\u0623\u0648\u0644 \u0645\u0646 \u064a\u0646\u0634\u0642 \u0639\u0646\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0628\u0631 \u0648\u0623\u0648\u0644 \u0634\u0627\u0641\u0639 \u0648\u0623\u0648\u0644 \u0645\u0634\u0641\u0639
\nI shall be the leader amongst the descendants of Adam on the Day of Resurrection, I will be the first whose grave will open, I will be the first intercessor, and the first whose intercession will be accepted (by Allah). [Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2278]<\/p>\n

\u2018First intercessor\u2019 indicates to the fact that the Ahlul Bayt will be the first recipients of intercession. This is supported by the narration of Jabir radiyallahu \u2018anhu as recorded by al Tabarani in al Awsat:<\/p>\n

\nThe Banner of Praise will be in my hand, and (I say this) without pride. I will be the first whose grave will open, and (I say this) without pride. The first from whose forehead sand will be dusted off, and (I say this) without pride. I will be the first to enter Jannat, and (I say this) without pride. I am the leader of the descendants of Adam, and (I say this) without pride. Why is it that some people believe that my family will not benefit? It is not so, I will intercede and my intercession will be accepted. Those for whom I intercede, their intercession too will be accepted. Iblis too, will desire my intercession!<\/p>\n

Definition of Ahlul Bayt<\/strong>
\nWhen we look at the definition of the word \u201cAhl-al-Bayt,\u201d then there is a general meaning as well as a specific meaning. However, the specific meaning is the one that is actually considered.<\/p>\n

General Meaning:<\/strong>
\nThis refers to all the followers of the Prophet \ufdfa including the companions, and all those who would come later to follow him \ufdfa until the day of Qiyamah.<\/p>\n

Specific Meaning<\/strong>
\nSpecific meaning refers to the Children of Hashim (Banu Hashim) and the Wives of the Prophet \ufdfa.<\/p>\n

There are many supporting references to this in the Ahadeeth of the Prophet \ufdfa, for example:<\/p>\n

Zaid bin Arqam (RA) was asked \u201cWho are the Ahlul Bayt of Muhammad?\u201d He responded saying \u201cAal Muhammad are those upon whom Zakat is prohibited.\u201d He was again asked \u201cWho are those upon whom the Zakat is prohibited\u201d, and he responded saying: \u201cThey are Ahlul Bayt of \u2018Ali, Ahlul Bayt of \u2018Aqil, Ahlul Bayt of Ja\u2018far and Ahlul Bayt of \u2018Abbas.
