أمهات المؤمنين
Nevertheless, many Sunni scholars interpret "household" to include Muhammad's wives, relatives, and their descendants. This popular view appears to be the only way to reconcile dozens of contradictory Sunni hadiths: Some only mention Muhammad's wives, most limit the privileged to Fatimah, Ali, Hasan, Husayn, and some list all of Muhammad's relatives and their descendants. Among these descendants is, for instance, Al-Mutawakkil, about whom Suyuti wrote: "He was engrossed in carnal pleasures and alcohol, and he had 4000 women in his Harem, all of whom he had bedded."
