Hadith-e-Kisa [Hadith Al-Kisa] (Narration of the Cloak) is the narration of an incident where the Holy Prophet Mohammed (saww) gathered Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Hassan, Hazrat Hussayn and Hazrat Fatema (peace be upon them all) under his cloak and announced them as his Ahl (Family). It was then that the second part of verse 33:33 of the Holy Quran was revealed, known as "Ayat al-Tathir" (Verse of Purification), in which Allah states He has purified the Family of the Holy Prophet (Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Hassan, Hazrat Hussayn and Hazrat Fatema), thus proving their infallibility.

This is the recitation of the Hadith of the Cloak which describes the greatness of the Ahlul Bayt [as]. It was narrated by Lady Fatima [sa] the daughter of the Prophet [pbuh] as well as Umme Salma, the wife of the Holy Prophet (saww).

This narration has been narrated by many people, including Umme Salma, Jabir ibn Abdullah Ansari, Ayesha, and Ibne Abbas. There are also various modifications and differences between the narrations of the different people. The most authentic version of Hadith Al-Kisa, according to the Shia, is that version which has been narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah Ansari, all other versions have either been edited or are incomplete.
