This is an Arabic phrase literally translated as "People of the House", or family. In the Islamic tradition, the Ahlul Bayt, or Ahl-e-Bayth, are the progeny of the Prophet Muhammed through his daughter Fatima's marriage with his cousin Ali resulting in their children Hasan and Hussein.


Shiites believe that a Imamate goes in succession through the lineage Ahlul Bayt.

But Mamoun knew the ways of Ahlulbayt, rejected her complaints and told her to live like the wife of an Imam of the Ahlulbayt of the Prophet.
