‘Ali adjured the people at ar-Rahbah, saying: Whoever heard the messenger of Allah ﷺ speak on the day of Ghadeer Khumm, let him stand up. And (of the people) around Sa’eed, six men stood up, and (of the people) around Zaid, six men stood up, and they testified that they had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to ‘Ali ؓ on the day of Ghadeer Khumm. “Isnʿt it Allah Who is closer to the believers?” They said: Yes. He said: ʿO Allah, if I am a personʿs mawla (friend and supporter) then ‘Ali is also his mawla; O Allah, take as friends those who take him as a friend, and take as enemies those who take him as an enemy.” A hadeeth like that of Abu Ishaq was narrated from ʿAmr Dhi Murr, i.e., from Saʿeed and Zaid, and he added to it: ʿand support those who support him, and forsake those who forsake him.ʿ A similar report was narrated from Abut-Tufail from Zaid bin Arqam from the Prophet ﷺ.

سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ إِلا قَامَ قَالَ فَقَامَ مِنْ قِبَلِ سَعِيدٍ سِتَّةٌ وَمِنْ قِبَلِ زَيْدٍ سِتَّةٌ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِعَلِيٍّ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ أَلَيْسَ اللهُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ اللهُمَّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

l saw ‘Ali ؓ in ar-Rahbah, adjuring the people, (saying): I adjure by Allah anyone who heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the day of Ghadeer Khumm:ʿIf I am a personʿs mowla (friend and supporter) then ‘Ali is also his mawla”, to stand up and testify. ‘Abdur-Rahman said: And twelve men who had been at Badr stood up. It is as if I can see one of them. And they said: We bear witness that we heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the day of Ghadeer Khumm; ʿAm I not closer to the believers than their own selves and my wives are their mothers?ʿ We said: Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: ʿIf I am a personʿs mawla (friend and supporter) then ʿAli is also his mawla; O Allah, take as friends those who take him as a friend, and take as enemies those who take him as an enemy.”

شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا فِي الرَّحَبَةِ يَنْشُدُ النَّاسَ أَنْشُدُ اللهَ مَنْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ لَمَّا قَامَ فَشَهِدَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَامَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ بَدْرِيًّا كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمْ فَقَالُوا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّا سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِي أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ؟ فَقُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

[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."

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] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Am I not more worthy of the believers than themselves?" They said, "Indeed, you are." He said, "Whoever I am his Mawla (master), then 'Ali is his Mawla." Ma'mun narrated that some people reported to him from Zaid that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, be a supporter to the one who supports him (Ali) and be an enemy to the one who opposes him."

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ قَالَ مَيْمُونٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

[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.'"

سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ لَمَّا قَامَ فَقَامَ أُنَاسٌ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوهُ يَقُولُ «أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ » قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» فَخَرَجْتُ وَفِي نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَلَقِيتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ

[Machine] Ali gathered the people in the open space and said, "I will take an oath by Allah upon every person who heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying on the day of Ghadeer Khumm, that they stood up and testified that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do you not know that I have more authority over the believers than themselves?' Then he took the hand of Ali and said, 'Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, be a supporter of whoever supports him (Ali) and an enemy to whoever becomes an enemy to him (Ali).' Abu Taufail said, 'So, I went out and there was something in my heart that he (Ali) met Zaid bin Arqam and I informed him (about what happened).' He said, 'Do you deny it? I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' And the wording is from Abu Dawood."

جَمَعَ عَلِيٌّ النَّاسَ فِي الرَّحْبَةِ فَقَالَ «أَنْشُدُ بِاللهِ كُلَّ امْرِئٍ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ مَا سَمِعَ فَقَامَ أُنَاسٌ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» قَالَ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ «أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ» فَقَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» قَالَ أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ «فَخَرَجْتُ وَفِي نَفْسِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَلَقِيتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ» فَقَالَ «أَوَمَا تُنْكِرُ؟ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي دَاوُدَ

[Machine] I witnessed Ali reciting in the open field, asking the companions of Muhammad (PBUH): "Which one of you heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say on the day of Ghadir Khumm?" So some people stood up and testified that they heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, be the supporter of whoever supports him, and be the enemy of whoever opposes him, and love whoever loves him, and hate whoever hates him, and help whoever helps him."

شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا بِالرَّحْبَةِ يَنْشُدُ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ مَا قَالَ فَقَامَ أُنَاسٌ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَأَحِبَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ وَأَبْغِضْ مَنْ أَبْغَضَهُ وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ

أَنْشُدُ لِلَّهِ كُلَّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ مَا قَالَ الْإِمَامُ فَقَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّا رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ وَرَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ فِطْرٌ وَرَوَاهُ مَعْرُوفُ بْنُ خَرَّبُوذَ

يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ إِلَّا قَامَ فَقَامَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَقَالُوا أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلًى لَهُ فَهَذَا مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

" عن عبد الرحمن بن أبى لَيْلَى قالَ: شهدتُ عليا في الرَّحبَةِ ينشدُ الناسَ، أنشُد الله من سَمِعَ رسولَ الله ﷺ يقولُ يومَ غَدير خُمّ: من كنتُ مولاهُ فعلى مولاهُ لَمَّا قامَ فَشَهِدَ، فقامَ اثنَا عشرَ بدريًا قالوا: نشهدُ أنَّا سَمِعنَا رسولَ الله ﷺ يقولُ يومَ غديِر خُمّ: ألستُ أولَى بالمؤمنينَ من أَنْفسهمْ وَأَزْوَاجِى أمهاتُهمْ؟ فقلنَا: بَلى، قَالَ: فمن كنتُ مولاهُ فعلىٌّ مَولاهُ اللهمَّ والِ منَ وَالاَهُ، وعادِ من عَادَاهُ ".

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِى لَيْلَى قَالَ: خَطَبَ عَلِىٌّ فَقَالَ: أَنْشُدُ الله اِمْرَءًا نِشْدَةَ الإِسْلَامِ سَمِعَ رسُولَ الله ﷺ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ أَخِذٌّ بِيَدِى يَقُولُ: أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِكُم يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُم؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى! يَا رسُولَ الله، قَالَ: مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِىٌّ مَوْلَاهُ، اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ، وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ، وَاخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ إِلَّا قَامَ فَشَهِدَ! فَقَامَ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَشَهِدُوا، وَكَتَمَ قَوْمٌ؛ فَمَا فَنَوْا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى عَمُوا وَبَرِصُوا".

"عن زيد بن أرقم قال: نَشَدَ عَلِىٌّ النَّاسَ: مَنْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ: أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّى أوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنيِنَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاَهُ فَعَلِىٌّ مَوْلاَهُ، الَّلهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاَهُ، وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ، فَقَامَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَشَهِدُوا بِذَلِكَ".
