			In an example of another unresolved theological foible, most Sunni theologians would end up insisting that Muhammad's parents could not be in hell, despite these explicit statements in scripture, without anything other than a respect for the ''Ahl al-Bayt'' (lit. "people of the house", Muhammad's family) that stifled the acceptance of the plain meaning of these narrations.
