The Prophet’s immediate family was called ‘Panjatan’ or ‘The Five’. The five were Prophet Muhammad, his cousin and son-in-law, Ali, the Prophet’s daughter, Fatima, and his grandsons, Hasan and Hussain. The extended family is called Ahle Bait, or the fourteen ‘Masoom’, the ‘Pure Ones’, consisting of the twelve Imams, Ali being the first. The other two in this galaxy are Prophet Muhammad and his daughter Fatima, Ali’s wife.
