Hadith of the two weighty things Hadith of the two weighty things The Hadith al-Thaqalayn, also known as the Hadith of the two weighty things, refers to a saying (hadith) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to the hadith of Muhammad prophet Qur'an and "Ahl al-Bayt" ("people of the house", Muhammad's family) had been described as the two weighty things. In the context of this Hadith, Muhammad's family refers to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, Fatimah bint Muhammad (the daughter of Muhammad), and their children and descendants.

Hadith terminology "with something, such as numerous chains of narration, strengthening it."
