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

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاَهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاَهُ

[AI] 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

[AI] 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»

[AI] "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»

[AI] 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»

"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".
