What is the authenticity of the narrations reported from Ibn Abbas regarding the revelation of the verse: "Allah only intends to remove from you the [taint of] impurity, O people of the household," specifically concerning the wives of the Prophet (PBUH), given the weakness of their narrators such as Abu Yahya al-Himmani, Salih bin Musa al-Qurashi, Khasif, Al-Husayn bin Waqid, and Ikrimah?
The wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are definitely part of his household (Ahl al-Bayt), and they are included in the verse: "Indeed, Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the household, and to purify you with [complete] purification" (Quran 33:33).
What is understood from the is that Ali, Fatimah, Al-, and Al-Husayn are also included in this virtue, even though the Quranic context specifically addresses the wives.
Weakening the narration from Ibn Abbas, who held that the verse was revealed specifically concerning the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is an error. Its chain of narration is sound, and 'Ikrimah, Al-Husayn ibn Waqid, and Zayd ibn Al-Habbab are trustworthy or truthful narrators.
