...The Day of Congratulations and Smiling

 

 

It has been narrated from al-Ridha ['Ali ibn Musa] (peace be upon him) that:

“…and this is a day( day of ghadir khum ) of congratulations and felicitations in which you should greet and congratulate one another. When a believer meets another, one should say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah who has made us amongst those who hold firm to the Wilayat of the Commander of the Faithful and the A’immah (prayers be upon all of them); and this is a day of smiling at other people and those of true faith.”
 

Iqbal al-A'mal, Page 464
 

.... The Prophet and the Wilayat of 'Ali

 

It has been narrated from Abi Sa'id that: “When the day of Ghadir Khumm came, the Messenger of Allah

(blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) commanded the caller to call out, ‘Gather for the Salat.

Then he took 'Ali (peace be upon him) by the hand and said, ‘O’ Allah! Whomsoever I am his master, this 'Ali is also his master. O’ Allah! Be a friend to that person who is a friend to him, and be an enemy to that person who is an enemy to him.’”

...The Pillars of Islam

 

 

It has been narrated form Abi Ja'far [Imam Muhammad ibn 'Ali al-Baqir] (peace be upon him) that:

“Islam is built on five foundations: Salat, Zakat, Sawm, Hajj and Wilayat – and there was no call to any of these resembling that which the people were called towards in order to accept the Wilayah on the Day of Ghadir.”
 

Al-Kafi, Volume 2, Page 21, Hadith 8

 

... The Successor of the Prophet

 

 

The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said,

“O’ 'Ali! I am the city of knowledge and you are its gate and no one can enter into the city except by going through its gate …

You are the Imam of my nation and you are my successor. Blessed is the person who obeys you and depraved is the person who disobeys you. One who follows you will succeed, while the one who turns away from you will be in a loss.”

... The Day of Thanks and Happiness

 

Abu 'Abdillah [Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon him) has said: “…this is the day

(18th of Dhul Hijjah) of worship and prayers and thanks to Allah and His praise, and is a day of happiness due to the obligation which Allah has laid upon all of you in regards to our (the Ahlul Bait’s) Wilayat, and surely I love to see you fast on this day.”

 

Wasa'il ash-Shi'a, Volume 7, Page 328, Hadith 13

... The Day of Feeding Others

 

 

Abu 'Abdillah [Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon him) has said,

“…and surely this is the day ( day of ghadir khum )when the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) appointed 'Ali (peace be upon him) as the flag for the people and made known his greatness and successorship; and he fasted on this day as a sign of thanks to Allah, the Glorious and Noble.
This day should be taken as one of fasting, feeding others, establishing ties with brothers (in faith), and on this day is the pleasure of the Most Merciful (al-Rahman) and the rubbing in the dust (humiliation) of the face of Shaitan.”

... The Day of the Message and the Wilayat

 

 

The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said:

 “O’ assembly of Muslims – those who are present must convey the following to those who are not,
“I advise the person who believes in me and has confirmed me (as being the final Prophet) to accept the Wilayat (mastership of 'Ali). Now surely the mastership of 'Ali is my mastership, and my mastership is the mastership of my Lord.
This is a pledge from my Lord which He commanded me to convey to all of you.”

 

Biharul Anwar, Volume 37, Page 131, Hadith 35

 

.... An Incomparable 'Eid

 

Imam 'Ali (peace be upon him) has said,

“Surely this is a highly recognized day (day of ghadir khum),
on it the succor wasbrought, and the station (of the one who was worthy of it) was elevated, and the proofs (of Allah) were made manifest.
This is the day when from a pure station, words were clearly and straightforwardly stated, and this is the day of the completion of the religion and the (day) when the promise and pact were taken…”

... the greatest 'Eid of Allah

 

It has been narrated from as-Sadiq [Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad] (peace be upon him) that he said,

“The day of Ghadir Khumm is the  greatest 'Eid of Allah, and every Prophet appointed by Allah celebrated this day as an 'Eid, and knew the sanctity of this day.
The name of this day in the heavens is the Day of the Allegiance and Well-Known Pact,
and on the Earth this Day is known as the Day of the Promise which is taken and the day of the Gathering of those who witnessed (the event).”

 

Wasa'il ash-Shi'a, Volume 5, Page 224, Hadith 1

 

“The day of Ghadir Khumm is the best 'Eid of my nation

دریافت

 

The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said:
“The day of Ghadir Khumm is the best 'Eid of my nation. It is the day on which Allah, the High, ordered me to mention the appointment of my brother, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib as the flag and standard of my nation. People shall be guided by him after me and this is the day in which Allah completed the religion and perfected the bounties upon my nation and on which He was pleased with Islam as their religion.”
