Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Adi bin Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Bara (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We camped at the place of Ghadir Khumm. Then a call was made: Gather for prayer. And a place was cleared under a tree for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he led us in the Zuhr prayer. After that, he took the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Do you not know that I am more entitled to the believers than their own selves? The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: Yes, indeed! The narrator says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Allah! Whomever I am his friend, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is also his friend. O Allah! Befriend whoever befriends him, and be the enemy of whoever is hostile to him. The narrator says: After this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met him and said: O son of Abu Talib! Congratulations to you. You have become the friend of every believing man and believing woman, morning and evening.
