رَحْمَتُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ
11:73 Ahl al-Bait أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ - “Members of a household” can include both males and females, or only males or females. The guests sent the greetings of Allâh’s Mercy and Blessings to the members of the household of Abraham. “The members of the house” signifies only Abraham’s wife, as there was no child at that time. Thus, here Ahl al-Bait may consist of only a female. This assumption is justified further when we read verse 28:12 in which the household mentioned consisted of the mother of Moses who was to nurse Moses.
