3787. ‘Umar bin Abī Salamah – the step-son of the Prophet ﷺ – said: “When these Āyāt were
revealed to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Allāh only wishes to remove the Rijs from you, O members of the family, and to purify you with a thorough purification...' [1] in the home of Umm Salamah, he called for Fāṭimah, Ḥasan, Ḥusain, and wrapped them in a cloak, and 'Ali was behind him, so he wrapped him in the cloak, then he said: 'O Allāh! These are the people of my house, so remove the Rijs from them, and purify them with a thorough purification.' So Umm Salamah said: 'And am I with them O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'You are in your place, and you are more virtuous to me.'" (Sahīh) [2]
[He said:] And there are narrations concerning this topic from Umm Salamah, Ma'qil bin Yaṣār, Abū Al-Ḥamrā', and Anas bin Mālik.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Gharīb from this route.

Commentary
'Rijs' means base and mean and this word includes all bad habits, actions and deeds. In reality and genuinely it can be said that the real people of the house are his wives as is clear from the text of the narration.
