Hadith of the Quran and Sunnah accept the authenticity of the related Hadith of the two weighty things ("Hadith al-Thaqalayn"). In this hadith, Muhammad referred to the Qur'an and "Ahl al-Bayt" ('people of the house', Muhammed's family) as the two weighty things. Although the hadith is accepted by both Sunnis and Shi'as, the two groups differ on the exact wording of what Muhammad said, as well as how to interpret these words. The Shi'as use the Hadith of the two weighty things to prove their claim that Muhammad meant for all his successors to be from his own family ("Ahl al-Bayt"). The Sunnis reject this view
