O people! There are too many of you to shake my hand at the same time, and Allah, the mighty and the majestic, commanded me to take verbal recognition from you regarding what I finalized, on behalf of Allah, about Ali, the Commander of the Believers, and about the Imams from me and him who shall succeed him, based on what I informed you that my offspring are from his loins.

Therefore, pronounce this in one voice:
“We heard, obeyed, are satisfied, and are submitted to what you have conveyed to us from our Lord and your Lord with regard to the authority of Ali, the Commander of the Believers, and the authority of the Imams from his loins.

We pledge allegiance to you in this regard with our hearts, our souls, our tongues, and our hands.
According to this, shall we live, shall we die, and shall we be resurrected.

We shall not alter, nor shall we substitute, nor shall we entertain doubt, nor shall we deny,♦ nor shall we distrust, nor shall we withdraw from the covenant, nor shall we breach the pact.

O Messenger! You advised us, on behalf of Allah, regarding Ali, the Commander of the Believers, and the Imams after him that you mentioned to be of your offspring from his descendants who are: alHasan, al-Hossain, and whomever Allah shall appoint after them.

The covenant and the pledge are taken from us, from our hearts, our souls, our tongues, our minds, and our hands.
Anyone of us who can reach him shall shake his hand, otherwise he shall affirm the covenant by his tongue. We shall not seek any substitute for it, nor shall Allah see in our souls any diversion from it.

We shall convey the same on your behalf to anyone, near or far, among our offspring and our people, We take Allah as witness to this, and surely Allah suffices as witness.
You are also witness over us; so are anyone who obeyed, visible or covered, Allah's Angels, His forces, and His servants. And Allah is greater than every witness.”


O people! What do you say? Verily, Allah is well-aware of every voice and the secrecy of every soul; “He who accepts guidance, it is to the benefit of his own soul, and he who goes astray, does so to his own loss.”. Those who pledge fealty, they indeed pledge fealty to Allah; the hand of Allah is over their hands.

O people! Be mindful of Allah, give your oath of allegiance to Ali, the Commander of the Believers, may Allah's blessings be upon him, to al-Hasan and al-Hossain, and to the Imams from them a goodly Word, that is enduring.

Allah shall cause whoever acts treacherously to perish and shall have mercy on whoever remains loyal. “Thus, anyone who violates his oath has indeed violated his own soul,
and anyone who fulfills the covenant he has made with Allah, He shall soon grant him a great reward.”

O people! Say what I told you, and greet Ali with the title of “The Commander of the Believers.” And also say: “We listened, and obeyed, Your forgiveness do we seek, Our Lord, and towards Your reward or punishment is the eventual turn.”

And say: “Praise be to Allah who has guided us to this. Never could we be guided had Allah not guided us.”

O people! Without doubt, the merits of Ali ebne Abee Talib in the sight of Allah, the mighty and the majestic, which are indeed revealed in the Holy Quran, are more numerous than I could recount in one speech; thus, whenever someone relates them to you and acquaints you with them, believe him.

O people! Whoever obeys Allah, His Messenger, Ali, and the Imams that I mentioned, has indeed achieved a great prosperity.

O people! The foremost from among you in paying homage to him, truly accepting his guardianship, and greeting him as “the Commander of the Believers” are the winners of the gardens of bliss.

O people! Say what makes Allah be pleased with you, and know that if you and all the people on earth disbelieve, it shall not harm Allah in the least.

O Allah! Forgive the believers through what I have conveyed and commanded, and let Your Wrath descend upon those who deny and disbelieve, and praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

Different pieces of the sermon of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) at the pond of Khum are found separately in many books narrated through numerous Shia and Bakree authorities. However, the most complete text of the sermon that has reached us, which covers most aforementioned pieces, is found in a number of books of traditions; the most distinguished of those which have been preserved to this date, is al-Ihtijaj, compiled by Ahmad Ibn Ali al-Tabarsi, an outstanding Shia scholar who lived in the 5th century AH.

Since various parts of this speech have been reported in numerous earlier books of traditions, the most comprehensive text available in al-Ihtijaj, is classified as parallel or frequent (Mutawatir). Thus, it should be relied upon irrespective of its chain of narrators.

Al-Tabarsi has often omitted the chain of the narrators of the traditions in his book, because as he stressed, he only narrated traditions that were famous among the Shia traditionists before him. However, due to the importance of the Sermon of Ghadir, al-Tabarsi has quoted the chain of the narrators for this tradition in al-Ihtijaj, which constitutes the following sound authorities traced back to Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (PEACE BE UPON HIM ), the fifth divinely appointed Imam of guidance after the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY):

حَدَّثَنِي السَّيِّدُ الْعَالِمُ الْعَابِدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَرْبٍ الْحُسَيْنِيُّ الْمَرْعَشِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ «1» قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الشَّيْخِ السَّعِيدِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيِّ «2» رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ «3» قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَمَاعَةٌ عَن أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ «4» قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ «5» قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيٌّ السُّورِيُّ «6» قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَلَوِيُّ «7» مِنْ وُلْدِ الْأَفْطَسِ وَ كَانَ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْهَمْدَانِيُّ «8» قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِد الإحتجاج على أهل اللجاج (للطبرسي)، ج‏1، ص: 56
الطَّيَالِسِيُّ «1» قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفُ بْنُ عَمِيرَةَ «2» وَ صَالِحُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ «3» جَمِيعاً عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سِمْعَانَ «4» عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ «5» عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع ‏
‏

The detailed sermon, with few minor differences in wording, has been reported in the following books as well:

1- al-Yaqin, Sayyid Ibn Tawus (d. 664 AH), pp. 343-361, narrated from Imam al-Baqir (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) with the following chain of narrators:

2- Rawdhat al-Wa’idhin, Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan al-Fattal al-Nishaburi (d. 508), part 1, pp. 89-99, narrated from Imam al-Baqir (PEACE BE UPON HIM ), with the chain of narrators omitted by the author due to its popularity in the scholastic circles.

3- Iqbal al-A’mal, Sayyid Ibn Tawus (d. 664 AH), pp. 454-457, narrated from Hudhaifa Ibn Yaman, through the Sunni authorities with the following chain of narrators:
اعلم أن ما نذكر في هذا الفصل ما رواه أيضا مخالفو الشيعة المعتمد عليهم في النقل فمن ذلك ما رواه عنهم مصنف كتاب الخالص المسمى بالنشر و الطي و جعله حجة ظاهرة باتفاق العدو و الولي و حمل به نسخة إلى الملك شاه مازندران رستم بن علي لما حضره بالري فقال فيما رواه عن رجالهم فصل: و عن أحمد بن محمد بن علي المهلب أخبرنا الشريف أبو القاسم علي بن محمد بن علي بن القاسم الشعراني عن أبيه حدثنا سلمة بن الفضل الأنصاري عن أبي مريم عن قيس بن حنان عن عطية السعدي عن حذيفة بن اليمان‏.

O people! I have, indeed, explained for you and made you comprehend Allah's commandments, and it is this Ali that shall make you comprehend every issue after me.

Notice that at the end of my sermon, I shall call upon you to shake hands with me as the oath of allegiance to him and the recognition of his authority, and to shake hands with him afterwards.

I have, indeed, sworn allegiance to Allah, and Ali has sworn allegiance to me,and, on behalf of Allah, the mighty and the majestic, I require you to swear the oath of allegiance to him, for Allah says:“Verily those who pledge allegiance to you, they indeed pledge allegiance to Allah; the hand of Allah is over their hands.
Thus, anyone who violates his oath has indeed violated his own soul, and anyone who fulfills the covenant he has made with Allah, He shall soon grant him a great reward."

There are many traditions on the importance of observing the anniversary of the event of Ghadir Khum. To be brief, only three traditions are partially quoted below. The Messenger of Allah (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) said:

يَوْمُ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ أَفْضَلُ أَعْيَادِ أُمَّتِي وَ هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ فِيهِ بِنَصْبِ أَخِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَماً لِأُمَّتِي يَهْتَدُونَ بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِي وَ هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَكْمَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ الدِّينَ وَ أَتَمَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي فِيهِ النِّعْمَةَ وَ رَضِيَ لَهُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينا.

“The day of Ghadir Khum is the greatest religious festival (Eid) of my nation. It was the day that Allah, exalted is His rememberance, commanded me to appoint my brother, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, as the guiding banner for my nation, by whom they will be rightly guided after me. It was the day in which Allah finalized religion and fulfilled His blessings on my nation and was pleased that Islam be their faith.”[26]

Imam al-Sadiq (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) said to one of his companions:

صِيَامُ يَوْمِ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ يَعْدِلُ صِيَامَ عُمُرِ الدُّنْيَا ... وَ هُوَ عِيدُ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيّاً قَطُّ إِلَّا وَ تَعَيَّدَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ عَرَفَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ اسْمُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَوْمُ الْعَهْدِ الْمَعْهُودِ... لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ يَوْماً أَعْظَمَ حُرْمَةً مِنْهُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ! لَا وَ اللَّهِ! لَا وَ اللَّه!

“Fasting on the day of Ghadir is equivalent to fasting throughout the entire age of the world… It is the greatest festival of Allah. Allah has not sent any prophet but that he celebrated this day as Eid and was aware of its sanctity. It is known in the heavens as ‘The Day of the Famous Covenant’… You might think that Allah, the mighty and the majestic, has created a day more sacred than that. No, by Allah! No, by Allah! No, by Allah!”[27]

Imam Ridha (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) said:

قَالَ الرِّضَا ع حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْغَدِيرِ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَشْهَرُ مِنْهُ فِي الْأَرْض‏... وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ عَرَفَ النَّاسُ فَضْلَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ بِحَقِيقَتِهِ لَصَافَحَتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ.

“Certainly, the day of Ghadir is more famous in the heavens than in the earth… and by Allah, had people truly known the superiority of this day, the angels would have been shaking hands with them ten times a day.”[28]

Mawlana AlImam alBaghir (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) said:

The Messenger of Allah (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) intended to leave Medina to perform pilgrimage having already conveyed all the commandments to his community except for the remaining details of pilgrimage and the guardianship of the universe and the nation.

Thus, Gabriel (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) came to him saying:“O Muhammad! Surely, Allah, majestic is His name, offers peace to you, and tells you: 'Verily, I have not taken the soul of any of my prophets or messengers except after completing My religion and affirming My proof. Of the commandments, two obligatory duties still remain which you need to convey to your nation: namely, the details of the duty of performing pilgrimage, and the duty of people in acknowledging the guardianship of the believers and following your successor after you. Certainly, I have never left nor shall I ever leave My earth empty of a proof.'

Therefore, Allah, majestic is His praise, commands you to perform pilgrimage along with everyone who is capable of attending from the dwellers of the cities and suburbs as well as the Bedouins. Teach them the pilgrimage as you taught them the prayers, the purification tax, and fasting. Make them aware of its details as you made them aware of other religious obligations.”

Thus, the announcer of the Messenger of Allah (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) informed people that he intended to go on pilgrimage and to teach them this religious obligation. Because of his announcement, the number of people from the inhabitants of Medina and its suburbs as well as other Arabs who went on pilgrimage along with the Messenger of Allah (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) was in excess of 70,000. this is equivalent to the number of people from whom Moses took pledge of allegiance for Aaron (PEACE BE UPON them ), but they later chose the calf for worship and the Samiree.

Likewise, the Messenger of Allah (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) took the pledge of allegiance from this number of people for Molana Ameerol Momineen Alimam Ali (PEACE BE UPON HIM ), but they later broke their pledge and chose the calf and the Samiree of their time as their leaders, following exactly the custom of their predecessor.


Repeating the words of compliance with the call of Allah, al-Talbeeya, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) traveled from Mecca to Medina and performed the rituals of pilgrimage.

When he was in the stopping place, alMina, the Angel Gabriel brought him a message from Allah, the most High, saying: “O Muhammad! Your Lord, the mighty and the majestic, greets you and states: 'Indeed, your inevitable time of departure has approached; thus, fulfill your obligation; make your will earlier; entrust what is with you of knowledge, the heritage of the early prophets in terms of knowledge and signs, the weapon, and the chest to the executor of your will and your successor, who is My far reaching proof over My creation and My exhaustive argument against them, Ali ebne Abee Talib (PEACE BE UPON HIM ).

Raise him as a guiding flag for people, remind and renew people's covenant and pledge about adhering to the authorized representative of Mine and the master of every believing man and woman, Ali ebne Abee Talib (PEACE BE UPON HIM ).

Verily, I have never taken the soul of any of the prophets except after perfecting My religion, and completing My bounty by means of requiring adherence to My authorized friends and enmity against My enemies.

As such, the pinnacle of monotheism, faith in My religion, and completion of My blessings over My creation is achieved only through following Alimam Ali, whose obedience is joint to the obedience of Muhammad, My Prophet, as well as My obedience. Anyone who obeys him has indeed obeyed Me, and anyone who disobeys him has indeed disobeyed Me. I have placed him as a distinguishing flag amongst My creation so that whoever recognizes him is a believer, whoever denies him is a disbeliever, and whoever associates anyone in pledge with him is a polytheist in obedience of Allah. One who meets Me, on the Day of Judgement, having accepted him as his guardian shall enter Paradise, and one who meets me having enmity of him shall enter the Fire. Hence, O Muhammad, raise him as the banner of truth, remind and renew people's covenant and pledge that you have already taken informally in several occasions, for I shall soon take your soul.'”

Because what he (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) knew of the inner enmity and hatred of the hypocrites and the dissenters against Molana Ameerol Momineen Alimam Ali , the Messenger of Allah was concerned about them, lest upon conveying this message they disperse people and return them to the days of ignorance. Thus, he requested Angel Gabriel to ask his Lord for protection from the evil deign of people, and waited to receive this protection for delivering the message.

#Ghadeer_Khumm

O people! Know that Allah has assigned him (that is to say Molana ammeerol Momineen, Ali) as a guardian and a leader for you,whose obedience is obligatory for the immigrants, the helpers, and those who follow them in goodness,and for everyone, whether nomad or city resident, Arab or non-Arab, free or slave,young or old, white or black, and for every monotheist.

His decree, that is to say Molana ammeerol Momineen, Ali's decree is to be carried out, his saying is sanctioned as law, and his command is effective. Cursed is whoever opposes him, blessed with mercy is whoever follows him, faithful is whoever acknowledges his virtues and rights.Indeed, Allah has covered him and those who listen to him and obey him with mercy and forgiveness.

O people! This is the last stand I make in this gathering; Thus, listen, obey, and submit to the command of your Lord, for Allah, the mighty and the majestic, is your master, then His Messenger, Muhammad, who is now addressing you, is your master. Then, after me, Ali is your master and your leader by the command of Allah, your Lord. Then, leadership shall be in my progeny, within his offspring, until the Day you meet Allah and His Messenger. Nothing is lawful except what Allah declared so in His book, as well as His Messenger, and them (That is to say, the twelve infallible Imams) and nothing is unlawful except Allah declared so in His book, as well as His Messenger, and them. for Allah, the mighty and the majestic, has informed me of the permissible and the forbidden things,and I have made known to him (That is to say, Molana ammeerol Momineen, Ali) what my Lord has taught me of His Book, the permissible, and the forbidden things.

O people! There is no knowledge except that Allah has kept its account in the heart of me,and I have recorded the details of all the knowledge that I was taught, in the heart of the leader of the pious,Ali (PEACE BE UPON HIM ). Certainly, there is no knowledge except that I have taught it to Ali, and he is the evident Imam whom Allah mentions in the Chapter of Yasin: “... And We have kept the detailed account of everything in an evident Imam.”.

O people! Do not stray from him, nor should you flee from him, nor should you refuse his guardianship and his authority, for he is the one who guides to truth and acts upon it, and crushes falsehood and proscribes it, accepting no blame, in the path of Allah, from any blamer. He is the first to believe in Allah and in His Messenger; and he is the one who offered his life as a sacrifice for the Messenger of Allah. I commanded him, on behalf of Allah, to sleep in my bed, and he did it to sacrifice himself for me. He was with the Messenger of Allah when no one among men worshipped Allah in the company of His Messenger other than him.

O people! Prefer him over all others, for Allah has indeed preferred him, and turn to him, for Allah has indeed appointed him as your guide.

O people! He is an Imam authorized by Allah, and Allah shall never turn to anyone in mercy who denies his authority, nor shall He ever forgive him;this is a decisive decree by Allah that He shall do so to anyone who opposes His command about him, and shall torment him with the most painful torment, which lasts forever and ever.

Hence, beware lest you oppose him, and thus, arrive at a fire whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

O people! By Allah, all early prophets and messengers have given the glad tiding of my advent. I am the seal of the prophets and the messengers, and the proof of Allah over all the creatures, of the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths. He who doubts this, is indeed a disbeliever, with the disbelief of the early era of ignorance. And he who doubts anything of what I have said this day, has doubted all that has been revealed to me. And anyone who doubts any of the Imams, has doubted them all, and anyone who doubts us, shall be in the Fire.

O people! Allah, the mighty and the majestic, has bestowed this virtue upon me out of His kindness and His grace. And there is no god but He. My praise is for Him forever and ever, and in all circumstances.

O people! Prefer Ali over all others, for he is the best of the people, men or women, after me so long as Allah sends down His sustenance and and so long as the creation exists.

Under curse and again under curse, under wrath and again under wrath, is he who rejects this saying of mine and does not does not agree with it. Certainly, Gabriel has informed me of this from Allah, the most high, Who also said: “Anyone who bears enmity against Ali and refuses his authority, for him shall be My curse and My wrath.”. Thus, every soul should look to what he has sent forth for the morrow. Be watchful of your duty towards Allah lest you should oppose Him and you foot should slip after its stability.
Verily, Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.

The sermon of Ghaedeer Khome constitutes the last instructions of the last prophet of Allah in his last days. Hence, it is of prime importance for every believer to study the text of the sermon with care, reflect on it, and acknowledge all its implications in one’s heart.

In the sermon of Ghaedeer, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) has emphasized that all his final commandments and prohibitions are effective forever and should never be altered by people’s desires, needs, ideas, opinions, or tendencies in any era. He (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) considered it a duty of every believer to learn and comprehend the instructions of the sermon as it was handed down to them, and to protect them from any alteration or change for the use of the current and future generations.

#Ghadeer_Khumm
#غدير_خم #غدیر_خم

As the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) ordered, every Muslim who receives his message should transmit it to other members of his community, especially the youth and children.

Transmitting the sermon is the greatest manifestation of enjoining what is right (Amr bil ma’ruf)[25]. The Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) mentioned that the most important example of enjoining the right is conveying what he said in this sermon to truth-seeking individuals who have not heard its details, urging them to follow it as an order from Allah and His Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY), and advising them against violating it.

Introducing the position and virtues of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) to the people is the best possible deed, because it makes known to people the authentic source of inquiry for all righteous deeds. The Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) stated in the sermon that without recognizing Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ), there is neither any value nor any effect in enjoining other righteous deeds.

Therefore, it is the duty of all believing men and women to inform other Muslims, who are prepared to hear the truth, about the content of this sermon without screening it according to personal opinion.

What follow are some suggestions to make the text as well as the meanings of this sermon popular in our community:

1- Holding frequent special meetings for reciting the Arabic text of the sermon, its translation, and its explanation. Seeking nearness to Allah by reminding about the Prophet’s statements on the day of Ghadir, and making such spiritual gatherings as the medium of one’s requests before Allah.

2- Reciting a part of the sermon, even a small amount, in any general gathering, and reminding about one’s obligation towards it.

3- Holding classes of memorizing the text of the sermon for the youth, organizing competitions, quizzes, and offering prizes for learning the contents of the sermon.

4- Presenting the books containing the full text of the Prophet’s (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) sermon at Ghadir Khum as gifts to the family and friends.

5- Making decorative objects, goods, and greeting cards, etc., on which the key phrases of the sermon are written or carved.

6- Developing extracurricular programs in schools for teaching the text of the sermon to the students.

7- Translating the sermon into different languages and publishing them in papers and on the Internet.
