The Urgent Revelation

The urgent revelation  On the return journey to Medina, the caravan passed Ghadeer Khum near Al-Johfa.  The Prophet (pbuh) decided to encamp here.  He (pbuh) received the divine revelation:  Gabriel spoke to the Prophet (pbuh) saying: يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ ۗ O Messenger! deliver what bas been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; O Messenger! deliver what bas been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; Ayah 5:67.

Location of Ghadeer Khum

 Ghadeer is on the way from Mecca to Medina.  Ghadeer means a pond in Arabic, named as Khum. So this place is known as Ghadeer Khum.  The Prophet (pbuh) broke the journey at this pond, which is located 3 miles away from Al-Johfa.  He (pbuh) halted at Ghadeer Khum in midday.  Which is a wayside tract of barren land with no shade other than that provided by a few acacia trees.  Significant aspect attached to Ghadeer, where all the routes of the different caravans coming from various points of Arabia normally parted. It was a major intersection of roads.  In the course of time, this pond dried up. All traces of water and vegetation vanished. So the name Ghadeer is no longer in use.

Hayya Ala Khair-il-Amal

 On hearing this urgent command, the Prophet (pbuh) ordered the place to be swept.  He also ordered Bilal (the Mu’athin– caller to prayer) to recite the ‘Athan’ –with the words:  “Hayya Ala Khair-il-Amal” meaning O people! Hasten towards the best of deeds.

When & in front of how many Muslims?

 It was the 18 th day of Dhul Hajja – the 10 th year after Hijrah.  In front of between 90,000 to 120,000 Muslims (some say 18,000-70,000).  Those who had gone ahead and those who were still behind. Also those who had begun to depart in different directions.  All were recalled to this junction and instructed to assemble in order to hear an important message.  It was midday and the weather was very hot.

What happened at Ghadeer ?

 A shade was arranged for the Holy Prophet (pbuh).  He (pbuh) offered the noon prayers in congregation.  Thereafter, He (pbuh) delivered the sermon.  Tabarani and others have recorded the following tradition as related by Zayd ibn Arqam and transmitted through sources unanimously acknowledged to be reliable. –Zayd says that the Messenger of Allah, delivered a sermon at Ghadeer Khum under a cloth spread as a canopy on two large trees. He said:

 The entire audience answered: "We shall bear witness that you did convey to us the message of Allah, and did your best to guide us on the right path and always gave us good console. May Allah bless you with a good reward."  The Holy Prophet proceeded: "Will you bear witness that there is no deity but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and that Paradise is true, Hell is true, Death is true, Resurrection after death is true, that the Day of Judgment will doubtlessly come and that Allah will raise to life the dead from their graves?”  They said: "O Yes! We bear witness to all this."  Then Holy Prophet said: “O Allah! You are also may witness.“ ‘O my people! Allah is my Mowla and I am Mowla of the faithful and I have higher right on and control over their lives. And this Ali is the Mowla of all those of whom I am Mowla. O Allah! Love the person who loves him (Ali) and antagonize him who antagonizes him (Ali)."  "O my people! I am soon to be recalled (by God) and I must comply. I shall be interrogated and you also shall be interrogated. What will you say then?"

“O my Lord, support him who supports Ali, and antagonize him who antagonizes Ali, and help him who assists Ali and forsake him who will forsake Ali.”

 The Prophet further said: "O my people! I will precede you and you also shall arrive at the pool of Kawthar. When you shall reach me I shall interrogate you about your behavior towards the two precious matters (thaqalayn) after my death:  One precious matter is the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Glorious, one end of which is with Allah, the Exalted, and the other end is in your hands. Grasp it tightly and do not go astray and do not change or amend it.  The other precious matter is my Progeny, who are my Ahlul Bayt. Allah the Gracious and Omniscient has informed me that these two will never part from each other till they reach me at the pool (of blessings in Heaven).  When the ceremony was over, the Archangel Gabriel delivered Ayah 5:3 to the Prophet as follow: The Two Precious Matters

“…Today have I perfected upon you your religion and completed upon you My blessings and approved for you Islam as your religion...” (Al-Maeda/5:3)

Homage to Ali

 At this moment the Prophet (pbuh) said loudly Allaahu Akbar, then he added:  “I thank Allah for having perfected His religion and for having completed His favor and for having been pleased with the mastership and succession of Ali after me.”  Then he (pbuh) stepped down from the platform and said to Ali:  “Sit in a tent to let the distinguished men of Islam swear oath of allegiance to you and congratulate you”.

“Congratulations, O son of Abu Talib, You have become my Mowla and the Mowla of every believer, men or women.” These are the words of Omar Ibin Al-Khattab

Prophetic Tradition (Hadiths):

 Imam Ahmad has recorded the tradition related by Bara' ibn 'Azib in his Musnad, vol.4, p. 281, transmitted through two different sources. Bara' says: "We were with the Messenger of Allah.  We alighted at Ghadeer Khum. Congregational prayer was in order. An area under two trees was swept and cleaned for the Messenger of Allah.  He offered midday prayers and he grasped the hand of Ali and said: 'Do you not know that I have more authority over the lives of the faithful than the faithful themselves?‘  'Yes you have,' they replied. He again inquired: 'Do you not know that I have more right over the life of every believer than the believer himself?' 'Surely, you have,' they answered.  Then he grasped the hand of Ali and said: 'Ali is the Mowla of all those of whom I am Mowla. O Allah! Love the one who loves him (Ali) and hate him who hates him (Ali).'"  Bara' ibn 'Azib says: "Then Omar came to Ali and said: 'Congratulations to you the son of Abu Talib. You have become my Mowla and the Mowla (master) of every faithful men and women.'"

Historical reports (Tarikh):

At the plain of Rahbah in Kufa An instance that took place in Kufa during the Khilaafah of Imam Ali, 35 years after the Prophet's death. At Ali's insistence a large number of people gathered in the plain of Rahbah in Kufa, he addressed them by saying: “By an oath in the name of Allah to all Muslims who had heard the Prophet’s proclamation on the day of Ghadeer Khum, to stand up and testify what they heard him say. Only those who saw the Prophet (pbuh) that day with their own eyes and heard the proclamation with their own ears should stand up." Thereupon, thirty companions of the Prophet (pbuh), including twelve of those who had participated in the battle of Badr, stood up and witnessed that the Prophet (pbuh) grasped his (Ali's) hand and said to the audience: "Do you know that I have a prior right to and superior authority over the lives of the faithful than the faithful themselves?" "O yes!" they said. The Prophet (pbuh) then said: "He (Ali) is the Mowla (i.e., has the authority over the lives) of all those of whom I am Mowla. O Allah, love him who loves him (Ali) and antagonize him who antagonizes (Ali)."

 It is logically impossible that thirty companions might have secretly agreed to speak a unanimous lie. In addition to the thirty witnesses there were three others whose ill-feeling with Ali prevented them from standing and attesting as eye-witnesses, like Anas ibn Malik.  When Imam Ali said to Anas: "Why do you not stand and testify what you heard from the messenger of Allah on the day of Ghadeer?"  Anas answered, "O Amir al-Mu’mineen! I have grown old and do not remember." Thereupon Ali said: "May Allah deal with you in His own way.”  Later, Anas became affected with leukoderma, an embarrassing condition of loss of pigment of the skin. Thereafter, Anas used to say: "I am suffering due to the Du’aa of the righteous servant of Allah “Ali”. At the plain of Rahbah in Kufa

 Bear in mind that this incident took place 35 years after the event of Ghadeer Khum, and during this period hundreds of eyewitnesses had died naturally or in the battles fought during the first two Khalifa's rule.  Also this incident took place in Kufa which was far from the center of the Sahaaba in Medina.  This incident took place in Kufa in the year 35 A.H. has itself been narrated by four Sahaaba and 14 Tabi’een and has been recorded in most books of history and tradition. At the plain of Rahbah in Kufa
