Studying the alleged consensus of Ibn Taymiyyah in denying the virtues of "Ahl al-Bayt" (PBH)

One of Ibn Taymiyyah's tricks in responding to his opponents and also in order to prove his claims is claiming consensus with different expressions. One of the topics on which he has resorted to consensus is the issues related to the virtues of the Ahl al-Bayt. In this regard, he sometimes claims that all of the of the scholars concur that the narrations related to the virtues of the "Ahl al-Bayt" are fake and false, and sometimes claims the consensus on the superiority of others over the Ahl al-Bayt, without providing any documentation. While following the Sunni sources, we find that these consensuses have been violated and even consensuses can be found contrary to the consensus claimed by Ibn Taymiyyah. In this essay, the claimed consensuses of Ibn Taymiyyah are studied.
