Soraya Esfandiari, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi's second wife, on an official visit to Imam Hossein's shrine in Karbala, March 1955. She probably never wore a chador in her life.
"Who are his Ahlul-Bayt (that the Prophet was referring to)? Are they his wives?" Thereupon Zaid ibn Arqam said: "No, by Allah! A woman lives with a man (as his wife) for a while; he then divorces her and she goes back to her parents and her people. The Ahlul-Bayt of the Prophet are his lineage and his descendants (those who come from his blood)..." Sahih Muslim, 1980 Edition Saudi Arabia, Arabic version, v4, p1874, Tradition #37
