[Machine] I remember when we camped with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a valley called Wadi Khumm. He commanded us to perform the prayer, so we prayed with him using a sand mound as a place of prostration. Then he delivered a sermon to us while being shaded by a garment on a samurah tree from the sun. He asked us, "Do you not know, and do you not bear witness, that I am closer to every believer than his own self?" We replied, "Yes, indeed." He said, "Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, be a friend to those who befriend him and an enemy to those who oppose him."  

أحمد:١٩٣٢٥حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ وَأَنَا

أَسْمَعُ نَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِوَادٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ وَادِي خُمٍّ فَأَمَرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّاهَا بِهَجِيرٍ قَالَ فَخَطَبَنَا وَظُلِّلَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِثَوْبٍ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ سَمُرَةٍ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَوْ أَلَسْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَمَنْكُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and we stopped at Ghadeer Khumm. Then the call for prayer was made, announcing the congregational prayer. A place under two trees was cleared for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pray Dhuhr. He took the hand of Ali and said, "Do you not know that I have more authority over the believers than they have over themselves?" They replied, "Yes, indeed." He said, "Do you not know that I have more authority over every believer than they have over themselves?" They responded, "Yes, indeed." Then, he held Ali's hand and said, "Whoever has me as their master, Ali is also their master. O Allah, be a friend to whoever befriends him and an enemy to whoever fights against him." Umar met him afterward and said, "Congratulations, O son of Abu Talib! You have become the master of every believer, male and female, both in the morning and the evening."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard saying on the day of Ghadir Khumm, "When people stood up, testifying that they heard him say, 'Do you not know that I have more authority over the believers than themselves?' They replied, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him and be an enemy to whoever opposes him.' After that, I went out with something in my heart, and then I met Zaid bin Arqam and mentioned this to him. He said, 'Indeed, we have heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying the same thing to him.'"

[Machine] I heard that we camped with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a valley called Wadi Khumm. He ordered for the prayer to be performed, so it was performed on rocks. Then he delivered a sermon and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shaded by a garment hanging on a tree, shielding him from the sun. He said, "Do you not know that I have more authority over the believers than they have over themselves?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Whoever I am his Mawla, then Ali is his Mawla. O Allah, be a friend to his friends and an enemy to his enemies."
