Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Companions of the Cloak are the Prophet (peace be upon him), Ali, Fatimah, Al-, and Al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them). Gabriel (peace be upon him) is not among them. The verse was revealed in the house of Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) supplicated for them under the cloak, asking Allah to remove all impurity from them and to purify them thoroughly.
