Ibne Jabir Tabari in his exegesis of the Holy Quran narrates a tradition of Ibne Abbas concerning the Quranic verse, “And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.” (Surah Zohaa 93:5). He says: “The Messenger of Islam will be pleased when not a single member of his family would have to enter Hell.”1

Al-Bazzaz, Abu Yaala, Oqili, Tibrani and Ibne Shahin in his Sunnah has narrated from Ibne Masud that the Holy Prophet said : “Certainly my daughter is chaste, righteous and discriminating between the prohibited and permitted of Allah. Moreover Allah has prohibited the fire of Hell for her progeny (her sons).”2

Tibrani mentions that Ibne Abbas quoted the following prophetic tradition addressed to Fatima (s.a): “Truly you and your sons will be immune from Divine chastisement.”3

Tirmizi and Husna record from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: “O People! I leave among you those things which if you hold fast you will never go astray. They are the book of Allah and my progeny, my Ahle Bayt (a.s.).”4

Khatib Baghdadi in this Tarikh (history) records a tradition of Ali (a.s.) wherein he refers to the words of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.): “My intercession for my Ummat (people) is for those who love my Ahle Bayt (a.s.).”5

Tibrani quotes Ibne Umar that the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: “The first people for whom I shall intercede from my Ummat are my Ahle Bayt.”6
