Abstract
The present paper has been written with the aim of analyzing the position of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the books of heavenly gifts (for the Sunnis) from the perspective of Sunni narrative collections. The research was conducted using descriptive method and inductive qualitative content analysis. The statistical population was all 10 books of elementary heavenly gifts for the Shiites and the Sunnis, and the statistical sample was determined purposefully to address the Ahl al-Bayt (AS). Then, by carefully studying the statistical sample members in Shiite books, five themes (scope, characteristics, virtues, practices, and our duties towards the Ahl al-Bayt (AS)), and in Sunni books, four themes (scope, practices, virtues, and our duties towards the Ahl al-Bayt (AS)) were extracted, each of which contains a number of categories. Afterward, a two-dimensional table of themes-categories of this research was designed. The result of this study, according to what was obtained from the analysis of the data, shows the position of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the books of heavenly gifts (for the Sunnis), has not been properly explained, and although subjects such as the example of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the verse of purification, the event of Kasaa, the revelation of surah al-Ensan, and the verse of Mawaddat have been confirmed and accepted in the Sunni narrative collections, they have been removed from the books of heavenly gifts (for the Sunnis).
