Are the Ahlul Bayt superior to all the Prophets?

Question

What is the ruling regarding those people who state that the Ahlul Bayt are more afzal than all the Prophets alaihis salaam except RasoolAllah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?

Answer

Anyone who believes a person who is not a prophet or a messenger to be more superior than any Prophet or Messenger of Allah is a non-believer (Kaafir). This is clear in our books of fiqh-e-akbar and asgar (Books of beliefs and jurisprudence).

And the knowledge of Allah is complete.
