Who are Ahlulbayt,narration,proof
To be a Muslim, you have to believe that there is only one God, Allah, who created the entire universe, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His final messenger on earth.
The Bedouins say, ‘We have believed.’ Say, ‘You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], ‘We have submitted,’ for faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.'”
— Surah Al-Hujurat (49:14)
The believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not, but strive with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
— Surah Al-Hujurat (49:15)
To be a Mu’min, you can’t doubt the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). You can’t take His words lightly; you have to accept everything He has said and told us to follow.
- What did he tell us about Ahlulbayt?
Narrated Zaid bin Arqam, may Allah be pleased with both of them:
“Indeed, I am leaving among you that which if you hold fast to them, you shall not be misguided after me. One of them is greater than the other: The Book of Allah is a rope extended from the sky to the earth, and my family – the people of my house – and they shall not split until they meet at the Hawd, so look at how you deal with them after me.”
— Jami at-Tirmidhi 3788, Sahih
Who is Ahlulbayt?
Ahlulbayt refers to the family of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), which includes his daughter Bibi Fatima (a.s), her husband Ali (a.s), and their children Hasan (a.s) and Husain (a.s). . Additionally, the Twelve Imams, who are the rightful successors of the Prophet (pbuh), are also part of Ahlulbayt and play a crucial role in Islamic teachings.
Proof?
Narrated ‘Umar bin Abi Salamah – the step-son of the Prophet (ﷺ):
“When these Ayat were revealed to the Prophet (ﷺ): ‘Allah only wishes to remove the Rijs from you, O members of the family, and to purify you with a thorough purification…’ (33:33) in the home of Umm Salamah, he called for Fatimah, Hasan, Husain, and wrapped them in a cloak, and ‘Ali was behind him, so he wrapped him in the cloak, then he said: ‘O Allah! These are the people of my house, so remove the Rijs from them, and purify them with a thorough purification.'”
— Jami at-Tirmidhi 3787, Sahih
حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ” لاَ يَزَالُ الإِسْلاَمُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً ” . ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي مَا قَالَ فَقَالَ ” كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ” .
It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir b. Samura who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Islam will continue to be triumphant until there have been twelve Caliphs. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said something which I could not understand. I asked my father: What did he say? He said: He has said that all of them (twelve Caliphs) will be from the Quraish.

What Allah has said about them:
First:
“And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance. And establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the [Prophet’s] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification.”
— Surah Al-Ahzab (33:33)
Second
Say, [O Muhammad], ‘I do not ask you for this message any payment [but] only good will through kinship'”
— Surah Ash-Shura (42:23)
The Status of Bibi Fatima (a.s):

On the Leadership of Ali (a.s):
*Narrated Sad:** *”Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) set out for Tabuk, appointing Ali as his deputy (in Medina). Ali said, ‘Do you want to leave me with the children and women?’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘Will you not be pleased that you will be to me like Aaron to Moses? But there will be no prophet after me.'”

Wasn’t the Prophet (pbuh) the leader/mawla of every Sahaba?
Conclusion:
Can we be true believers (Mu’min) without following the teachings of our Prophet (pbuh), holding fast to the Qur’an, and adhering to the guidance of Ahlulbayt, including Bibi Fatima (a.s) and the Twelve Imams (a.s)?
