The Prophet s.a.w.w said I am leaving two things Quran and
Ahlalbait a.s
Yazid b. Hayyan reported, I went along with Husain b. Sabra
and 'Umar b. Muslim to Zaid b. Arqam and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to
him: Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that you saw Allah's
Messenger (PBUH) listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different)
battles, offered prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great
virtue. Zaid, narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger (PBUH). He
said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have forgotten some
of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah's Messenger (PBUH),
so accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel
me to do that. He then said: One day Allah's Messenger (PBUH) stood up to
deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Mecca and
Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the sermon and. exhorted
(us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to
receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to
Allah's call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two
weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance
and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He exhorted (us)
(to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members
of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. He
(Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives
the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his
family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of
Zakat is forbidden. And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and the
offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the offspring of Ja'far
and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the
acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes.>>>

Another Narration>>>
Yazid b. Hayyan reported: We went to him (Zaid b. Arqam) and
said to him. You have found goodness (for you had the honour) to live in the
company of Allah's Messenger (PBUH) and offered prayer behind him, and the rest
of the hadith is the same but with this variation of wording that lie said:
Behold, for I am leaving amongst you two weighty things, one of which is the
Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, and that is the rope of Allah. He who
holds it fast would be on right guidance and he who abandons it would be in
error, and in this (hadith) these words are also found: We said: Who are
amongst the members of the household? Aren't the wives (of the Holy Prophet) included
amongst the members of his house hold? Thereupon he said: No, by Allah, a woman
lives with a man (as his wife) for a certain period; he then divorces her and
she goes back to her parents and to her people; the members of his household
include his ownself and his kith and kin (who are related to him by blood) and
for him the acceptance of Zakat is prohibited. >>>
Reference : Sahih Muslim 6228 In-book reference : Book 44,
Hadith 58 >>>
In the first narration Zaid bin Arqam (rz) told that those
Ahlalbait which the holy Prophet reminded with Quran are the blood relation of
the Prophet (wives are not among them). In second narration Zaid bin Arqam made
it very clear that wives are not the part of those Ahlalbait.>>>
