Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ شَدَّادٍ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ وَعِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ فَذَكَرُوا عَلِيًّا فَلَمَّا قَامُوا قَالَ لِي أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ أَتَيْتُ فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهَا أَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَتْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَلَسْتُ أَنْتَظِرُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَحَسَنٌ وَ
حُسَيْنٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُمْ آخِذٌ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فَأَدْنَى عَلِيًّا وَفَاطِمَةَ فَأَجْلَسَهُمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَجْلَسَ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ لَفَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبَهُ أَوْ قَالَ كِسَاءً ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ { إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا } وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَحَقُّ

English Translation
Muḥammad ibn Muṣʿab narrated to us, he said: al-Awzāʿī narrated to us, from Shaddād Abū ʿAmmār who said: I entered upon Wāthilah ibn al-Asqaʿ while a group was with him, and they mentioned ʿAlī. When they left, he said to me: "Shall I not inform you of what I saw from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?" I said: "Of course." He said: "I came to Fāṭimah رضي الله تعالى عنها asking about ʿAlī. She said: 'He went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.' So I sat waiting for him until the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came with ʿAlī, al-Ḥasan, and al-Ḥusayn رضي الله تعالى عنهم, holding each of the two boys by the hand. He entered and brought ʿAlī and Fāṭimah close, seating them before him, and he sat al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn, each one on his thigh. Then he wrapped his garment — or he said: a cloak — around them and recited this verse: {Allāh only intends to remove impurity from you, O People of the Household, and to purify you completely} [33:33]. Then he said: 'O Allāh, these are my Ahl al-Bayt, and my Ahl al-Bayt are most deserving.'"
