Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. 1) One must abstain from reading the aforementioned verses. 2) The Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamā'ah hold the Sahābah and especially the Ahlul Bait in the highest esteem. How can we not when the Quran and Hadīth are clear in this regard? Allah Ta'ālā declares his pleasure for all the Sahabah, which includes Hazrat 'Alī, Fātimah, Hasan, and Husain Radi Allāhu 'Anhum in the following verse: وَالسَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي تَحْتَهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ(التوبة:١٠٠) And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment. (Al Tawbah: 100) The virtue of 'Alī Radi Allāhu 'Anhū: ...قال لعلي رضي الله عنه: أنت مني و أنا منك (صحيح البخاري، كتاب الصلح) "The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said to 'Alī Radi Allāhu 'Anhu: You are from me and I am from you (An expression of love)" (Al Bukhārī, The Book of Reconciliation) The virtue of Fātimah Radi Allāhu 'Anhā: فاطمة سيدة نساء أهل الجنة (الترمذي، باب مناقب الحسن و الحسين رضي الله عنهم) "Fatimah is the queen of the women of Jannah" (Al Tirmizi, Chapter on the Virtues of Hasan and Husain Radi Allāhu 'Anhum) The virtue of Hasan and Husain Radia Allāhu 'Anhumā: الحسن و الحسين سيدا شباب أهل الجنة (الترمذي، باب مناقب الحسن و الحسين رضي الله عنهم) "Hasan and Husain are the leaders of the youth of Jannah" (Ibid) If the concept of "Panjtan" entails attributing the same position to each one; Nabi Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam, Hazrat 'Ali, Fātimah, Hasan, and Husain Radi Allāhu 'Anhum, this will be incorrect.[1] Similarly, it is impermissible to attribute any quality which is specific to Allāh Ta'ālā to any of them, including the Prophet Sallallāhu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam. Qualities such as 'Aālim ul Ghayb (Knower of the Unseen) and Mukhtār ul Kul (The Holder of Complete Authority) are specific to Allāh Ta'ālā alone.
