Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for his family; then the narrator mentioned Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and others. The narrator said: I said: O Messenger of Allah! Am I also among the Ahl al-Bayt? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, as long as you do not stand at the door of a chief or go to a ruler and ask him for something.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
