In the fourth verse of the chapter of Tahrim, two bodies of the Prophet`s wives were threatened if they were to do anything against the Prophet, God, Gabriel and the righteous among the believers and the angles would protect him. The question of the commentators in the verse runs as: who is the righteous among believers? All Suni commentators have known the phrase as referring to Abubakr and Omar. They have mentioned some traditions from the first and second generation of well-known Muslims for their claim. Again, as the phrase is in plural form, their claim seems to be acceptable apparently, particularly with regard to the relation of Abubakr and Omar to Ayesha and Hafsa. Shiite commentators, however, have not accepted their claim and viewed the righteous among the believers to be Imam Ali (a). The latter group has criticized the former proofs.

Keywords: Fourth verse of Tahrim, the Righteous among the Believers, Imam Ali, Hafsa and Ayesha
