The unbelievable, surprising virtues of Eid al-Ghadir!

Eid al-Ghadir is the greatest Eid for the believers. The reward that is mentioned for honoring this day has not been mentioned for any other Eid or even for the anniversary of the martyrdom of the Imams. However, despite all this emphasis we do not work for this day the way we should.
In order to understand the importance of this day, let’s review some of the virtues that the Household of the Prophet (as) have mentioned about this day.

The best day for being forgiven!
It is said in a tradition that the believers are pardoned and forgiven on Eid al-Ghadir, more than during the holy month of Ramadan, more than throughout the whole year and more than the night of Eid al-Fitr. This is while the night of Eid al-Fitr is such that whoever has not been forgiven during the month of Ramadan will be forgiven on this night. [Tahdhib al-Ahkaam, vol. 6, p. 24]

The best day for giving food to others
Imam Sadiq (as) said, “Giving food to one person on the day of Eid al-Ghadir is like giving food to all the prophets and the truthful.” [Iqbaal al-Amaal, vol. 1, p. 465]
It was Imam Reza's (as) custom to keep whoever came to his house on Eid al-Ghadir for dinner. And when that person wanted to leave, he would give him various gifts - from rings to clothes - to take for his children.

The best day to do good deeds!
It is said in a tradition that on normal days any amount of money you give in charity, spend, or give in the way of God is counted ten times as much. But on the day of Eid al-Ghadir, if you do one of these things, it will be counted two hundred thousand times as much for you! [Iqbaal al-Amaal, vol. 1, p. 463]

The best day for fasting
Imam Sadiq (as) said, “Fasting on the day of Ghadir Khum is equal to fasting for a lifetime in this world. If a person lives as long as the life of this world and fasts all of its days, he will have the reward of fasting on the day of Eid al-Ghadir. To the Exalted God, fasting on this day every year is equivalent to one hundred accepted Hajj pilgrimages and one hundred accepted Umrah pilgrimages. And this is God's great Eid.” [Tahdhib al-Ahkaam, vol. 3, p. 143]

What else could they have said for us to understand the importance of this event?
As much as we can, let's take Eid al-Ghadir more seriously from now on and help this great event not to remain unknown.
