from the Prophet ﷺ: "For whomever I am his mawlá (leader) then ʿAlī is his mawlá."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاَهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاَهُ  

"Muʿawiyah came on one of his pilgrimages and Saʿd entered upon him. They mentioned ʿAli, and Muʿawiyah criticized him. Saʿd became angry and said: 'Are you saying this of a man of whom I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "If I am a person's close friend, ʿAli is also his close friend." And I heard him say: "You are to me like Harun was to Musa, except that there will be no Prophet after me." And I heard him say: "I will give the banner today to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger."  

قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي بَعْضِ حَجَّاتِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ فَذَكَرُوا عَلِيًّا فَنَالَ مِنْهُ فَغَضِبَ سَعْدٌ وَقَالَ تَقُولُ هَذَا لِرَجُلٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاَهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاَهُ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ الْيَوْمَ رَجُلاً يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ  

ʿIf I am a personʿs mawla (friend and supporter) then ʿAli is also his mawla.” And the people added after that: ʿSo take as friends those who take him as a friend and take as enemies those who take him as an enemy.”  

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مَرْيَمَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ جُلَسَاءِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاهُ قَالَ فَزَادَ النَّاسُ بَعْدُ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ  

I heard ‘Ali in Ar-Rahbah, when he was adjuring the people and asking who had been present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Ghadeer Khumm. when he said what he said. Thirteen men stood up and testified that they had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say; “If I am a personʿs mawla”, ‘Ali is also his mawla.ʿ (The word mawla refers to the one who manumits a slave, who has the right to inherit from the ex-slave. Changing oneʿs mawla means giving the right of inheritance to the new mawla)  

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا فِي الرَّحْبَةِ وَهُوَ يَنْشُدُ النَّاسَ مَنْ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ؟ فَقَامَ ثَلاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاهُ  

‘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] 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."  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلْنَا بِغَدِيرِ خُمٍّ فَنُودِيَ فِينَا الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ وَكُسِحَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ شَجَرَتَيْنِ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ قَالَ فَلَقِيَهُ عُمَرُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَنِيئًا يَا ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَصْبَحْتَ وَأَمْسَيْتَ مَوْلَى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَمُؤْمِنَةٍ  

[Machine] I asked Zaid bin Arqam and said to him, "Indeed, I have heard a narration about you in relation to Ali on the day of Ghadeer Khumm. I would like to hear it directly from you." He said, "You people, the people of Iraq, have everything that is in you." I said to him, "You have no blame from me." He said, "Yes, we were in the Juhfah area when the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came to us in the afternoon and held the shoulder of Ali. He said, 'O people, do you not know that I am closer to the believers than their own selves?' They said, 'Yes." He said, 'Whoever I am his Mawla, then Ali is his Mawla.' I said to him, 'Did Allah say 'O Allah, be the supporter of those who support him and the enemy of those who oppose him?' He said, 'I am telling you as I heard it.'"  

سَأَلْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ خَتَنًا لِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْكَ بِحَدِيثٍ فِي شَأْنِ عَلِيٍّ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مَعْشَرَ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فِيكُمْ مَا فِيكُمْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ مِنِّي بَأْسٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ كُنَّا بِالْجُحْفَةِ فَخَرْجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيْنَا ظُهْرًا وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِعَضُدِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ قَالَ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ؟ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُخْبِرُكَ كَمَا سَمِعْتُ  

[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] "I participated in a campaign with Ali in Yemen, and I witnessed arrogance from him. When I arrived in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I mentioned Ali and belittled him. I then saw the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ change, and he said, 'O Buraydah, am I not more deserving of the believers' loyalty than themselves?' I replied, 'Indeed, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Whoever I am his master, Ali is also his master.'"  

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ الْيَمَنَ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ جَفْوَةً فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَكَرْتُ عَلِيًّا فَتَنَقَّصْتُهُ فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَغَيَّرُ فَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ  

[Machine] Ali incited the people, so five or six of the Prophet's companions stood up and testified that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whomever I am a guardian of, Ali is his guardian."  

نَشَدَ عَلِيٌّ النَّاسَ فَقَامَ خَمْسَةٌ أَوْ سِتَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ heard saying, "O Allah, whoever I am his master, Ali is his master. O Allah, befriend those who befriend him and oppose those who oppose him." Sixteen men stood up and witnessed it.  

سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ قَالَ فَقَامَ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَشَهِدُوا  

[Machine] Rahat came to Ali in Al-Rahba and said, "Peace be upon you, O our master." Ali replied, "How can I be your master while you are Arabs?" They said, "We heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , on the day of Ghadeer Khumm saying, 'Whoever I am his master, this Ali is his master.'" Ali said, "Flattery." When they left, I followed them and asked, "Who are these people?" They said, "A group of the Ansar, including Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari."  

جَاءَ رَهْطٌ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ بالرَّحْبَةِ فَقَالُوا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَانَا قَالَ كَيْفَ أَكُونُ مَوْلَاكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَرَبٌ؟ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ يَقُولُ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَوْلَاهُ قَالَ رِيَاحٌ فَلَمَّا مَضَوْا تَبِعْتُهُمْ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالُوا نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ  

I fought along with ʿAlī to Yemen and I sensed estrangement from him. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned ʿAlī and talked down about him. I then saw the ˹color˺ on the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ change and he said, "O Buraydah, am I not more prefered to the believers than themselves?" I said, "Yes O Messenger of Allah." He then said, "For whomever I am his mawlá (leader), then ʿAlī is his mawlá." and he mentioned the ḥadīth.  

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ جَفْوَةً فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ عَلِيًّا فَتَنَقَّصْتُهُ فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَغَيَّرُ فَقَالَ «يَا بُرَيْدَةُ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ» وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] Did you hear the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying, "Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, be a supporter of whoever supports him and an enemy of whoever opposes him"? He said, "Yes." He said, "Then why did you fight against me?" He said, "I did not remember." So Talha Al-Hasan, who is Al-Arni and is not trustworthy, turned away.  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَلَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَلِمَ تُقَاتِلُنِي؟ قَالَ لَمْ أَذَكُرْ قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ طَلْحَةُالحسن هو العرني ليس بثقة  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying on the day of Ghadeer Khumm, "O Allah, whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, be a supporter of whoever supports him, and an enemy of whoever opposes him. Assist whoever assists him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ «اللهُمَّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلَيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ وأَعِنْ مُنْ أَعَانَهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whomever I am his master, then Ali is his master."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] While Ali was sitting in the courtyard, a man came with signs of travel on him and greeted him saying, "Peace be upon you, O my master." They asked, "Who is this?" He replied, "Abu Ayyub al-Ansari." Abu Ayyub said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master.'"  

بَيْنَا عَلِيٌّ ؓ جَالِسٌ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَعَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ فَقِيلَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

from the Prophet ﷺ: "For whomever I am his Mawla then 'Ali is his Mawla." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3713)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Ali ibn Abi Talib on the day of Ghadir Khumm, "O Allah, whoever I am his master, Ali is his master. O Allah, be a friend to whoever is a friend to him and be an enemy to whoever is an enemy to him."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ «اللهُمَّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to plant trees, so we stood up what was under them and sprinkled them with water. Then he addressed us and said, "By Allah, there is nothing that will happen until the Hour comes, but we have been informed about it on that day." Then he said, "O people, who is more worthy of you than yourselves?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger are more worthy of us than ourselves." He said, "So whoever I am his guardian, 'Ali is his guardian." Then he took his hand and said, "O Allah, be a protector to those who protect him and be an enemy to those who show enmity to him."  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالشَّجَرَاتِ فَقُمَّ مَا تَحْتَهَا وَرُشَّ ثُمَّ خَطَبَنَا فَوَاللهِ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَكُونُ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا بِهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ أَوْلَى بِكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ؟» قُلْنَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَوْلَى بِنَا مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا قَالَ «فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَهَذَا مَوْلَاهُ» يَعْنِي عَلِيًّا ؓ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَكَشَطَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying on the day of Ghadir Khumm, "Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, support the one who supports him and be an enemy to those who hate him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ»  

[Machine] Ali called upon the people in the Rahaabah, asking if anyone had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say what he had said. Sixteen men stood up and testified that they had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "O Allah, whoever has taken me as his master, Ali is his master. O Allah, support those who support him and oppose those who oppose him." Zaid ibn Arqam said, "I was among those who kept it a secret, and as a result, my sight was impaired. Ali then cursed those who kept it a secret."  

نَاشَدَ عَلِيٌّ النَّاسَ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ مَنْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ فَقَامَ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ «فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ كَتَمَ فَذَهَبَ بَصَرِي وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ دَعَا عَلَى مَنْ كَتَمَ»  

[Machine] "Ali stood before the people and said, 'I will recite a poem about a man who heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Whomever I am his master, Ali is his master. O Allah, be the supporter of whoever supports Ali and be the enemy of whoever opposes him." Twelve Badri Sahabah bore witness to this.' Zaid said, 'I was among those who remained silent, and my eyesight was lost.'"  

نَشَدَ عَلِيٌّ النَّاسَ أَنْشُدُ اللهَ رَجُلًا سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» فَقَامَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ بَدْرِيًّا فَشَهِدُوا بِذَلِكَ قَالَ زَيْدٌ «وَكُنْتُ أَنَا فِيمَنْ كَتَمَ فَذَهَبَ بَصَرِي»  

[Machine] Amr ibn Thammar and Zaid ibn Arqam reported that the Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon on the day of Ghadeer Khumm, saying, "Whoever I am his leader, then Ali is his leader. O Allah, be a supporter of whoever supports him and an enemy of whoever opposes him. And give victory to whoever supports him, and help whoever helps him."  

عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ذِي مَرٍّ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَا خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ فَقَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ وأَعِنْ مَنْ أَعَانَهُ»  

[Machine] I was sitting in the gathering of the Banu Al-Arqam when a man from Murad approached on his mount and stood at the gathering, greeting everyone. He then asked, "Is Zaid among you?" They replied, "Yes, this is Zaid." The man said, "I adjure you by Allah, there is no god but Him, O Zaid, have you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying to Ali, 'Whoever I am his master, Ali is his master. O Allah, be a supporter of whoever supports him and an enemy to whoever opposes him'?" Zaid answered, "Yes." Then the man turned away from him.  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي مَجْلِسِ بَنِي الْأَرْقَمِ فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُرَادٍ يَسِيرُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى الْمَجْلِسِ فَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ زَيْدٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ هَذَا زَيْدٌ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يَا زَيْدُ أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِعَلِيٍّ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَانْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ الرَّجُلُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us on the day of Ghadir and said, "Am I not closer to the believers than their own selves?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He then took the hand of Ali and said, "Whoever I am his mawla (master), Ali is also his mawla. O Allah, be a helper to whoever helps him and an enemy to whoever opposes him."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْغَدِيرِ فَقَالَ «أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فَقَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and said, "Am I not more entitled to you than yourselves?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "Whoever I am his master, Ali is also his master."  

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ» قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ «فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever I am his Mawla (master), Ali is his Mawla. O Allah, be a Wali (guardian) to the one who supports him (Ali), and be an enemy to the one who opposes him (Ali)." Then I (the narrator) asked for clarification, and he said, "You are only in a position where I (the Messenger of Allah) am."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» فَأَخَذْتُ أَسْتَزِيدُهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا أَنْتَهِي حَيْثُ انْتَهَى بِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with a cloak on the day of Ghadeer Khumm, while holding the shoulder of Ali, and said, "O people! Do you not know that I have more authority over the believers than themselves?" They replied, "Indeed, O Messenger of Allah!" He said, "Whoever I am his master, Ali is also his master."  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْجُحْفَةِ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِعَضُدِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَهَذَا مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] That he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever I am his guardian, then Ali is his guardian."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[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."  

أَسْمَعُ نَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِوَادٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ وَادِي خُمٍّ فَأَمَرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّاهَا بِالْهَجِيرِ فَخَطَبَنَا وَظُلِّلَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِثَوْبٍ عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ «أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَمُؤْمِنَةٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ «فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ»  

from the Prophet ﷺ: "For whomever I am his Mawla then 'Ali is his Mawla." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3713)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلَيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] "I went with Ali to Yemen, and I saw from him signs of exhaustion. So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned Ali to him, but I belittled him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became furious, and his face changed. He said, 'O Buraida, am I not more deserving of the believers than themselves?' I said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master.'"  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ جَفْوَةً فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ عَلِيًّا فَتَنَقَّصْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَغَيَّرُ وَجْهُهُ قَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ «أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "There are three qualities, if you possess one of them, it would be dearer to me than owning a red camel. I heard him saying, '(The relationship of the Prophet) is like that of Harun (i.e., Aaron) to Moses, but there will be no prophet after me,' and I heard him saying, 'Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him.' And I heard him saying, 'Whomever I am his master (Mawla), then Ali is his master (Mawla).'  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَهُ خِصَالٌ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَأَنْ تَكُونَ لِي وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ سَمِعَتْهُ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي» وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent me with Ali to Yemen, and I saw some harm from him. When I returned, I complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he lifted his head towards me and said, "O Buraydah, whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master."  

بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ جَفْوَةً فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ شَكَوْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيَّ وَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] "I went with Ali to Yemen and saw from him signs of fatigue. They came to the Prophet ﷺ, so I mentioned Ali and belittled him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ's face changed and he said, 'O Buraydah, am I not more deserving of the believers than themselves?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master.'"  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ جَفْوَةً فَقَدِمَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ عَلِيًّا فَتَنَقَّصْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَغَيَّرُ وَجْهُهُ وَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ «أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

from the Prophet ﷺ: "For whomever I am his Mawla then 'Ali is his Mawla." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3713)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] Zaid bin Arqam stood up when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived and praised Allah and spoke highly of Him. Then he said, "Do you not know that I am closer to every believer than his own self?" They said, "Yes, indeed. We testify that you are closer to every believer than his own self." He said, "Then whoever I am his Mawla (master), Ali is also his Mawla." He took the hand of Ali.  

زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى نَحْنُ نَشْهَدُ لَأَنْتَ أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ قَالَ «فَإِنِّي مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَهَذَا مَوْلَاهُ» أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard saying, "Whoever I am his guardian, then Ali is his guardian. Stand up, twelve of you, and bear witness."  

سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ؟ فَقَامَ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ فَشَهِدُوا»  

[Machine] Five or six of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ testified that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever I am his Mawla (master), then Ali is his Mawla (master) too."  

قَامَ خَمْسَةٌ أَوْ سِتَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] "And Zaid bin Yuthay' said, 'Six people stood up from among those surrounding me and they testified that they heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, 'Whoever I am his mawla (master), Ali is his mawla.'"  

وَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ يُثَيْعٍ «وَقَامَ مِمَّا يَلِينِي سِتَّةٌ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» يَقُولُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard saying on the day of Ghadeer Khumm, "Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, befriend those who befriend him and be an enemy to those who are his enemies." So six people stood up from one side of the pulpit and six from the other side and testified that they heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that. Shurayh said, "I asked Abu Ishaq if he had heard Al-Bara' bin Azib narrating it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said, "Yes."  

سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرٍ خُمٍّ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ؟» فَقَامَ سِتَّةٌ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْمِنْبَرِ وَسِتَّةٌ مِنَ الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ شَرِيكٌ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»  

[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  

"أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَلِيىِّ، وَأنَا وَلِىُّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ، مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِىُّ مَوْلَاهُ ".  

"اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ كنتُ مَوْلاهُ فَعَلِيُّ مَوْلاهُ، اللَّهُمَّ والِ مَنْ وَالاهُ، وَعَاد مِنْ عَادَاهُ، وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نصَرَه، وَأعِنْ مَنْ أَعَانَهُ" .  

"أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ أَمْرَين لَنْ تَضِلُّوا إِنَّ اتَّبعْتُمُوهُ كِتَابَ اللهِ، وَأهْل بَيتِى عِترتى، تَعْلَمُون أَنِّي أَوْلَى بالمؤمنين مِنْ أَنْفُسهم، مَنْ كنتُ مَوْلاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ".  

"مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاهُ فعلَيٌّ مَوْلاهُ".  

"مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاهُ فعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاهُ، اللَّهُمَّ وال مَنْ والاهُ، وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ".  

"مَنْ كنت مَوْلاهُ فعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاهُ، اللَّهُمَّ وَال مَنْ والاهُ، وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ، وَأَعِزَّ (*) مَنْ نصَرَهُ، وأَعِنْ مَنْ أَعَانَهُ".
