Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that I saw Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) at al-Rahbah adjuring the people: "I call upon, in the name of Allah, the person who heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the day of Ghadir Khumm, 'Man kuntu mawlahu fa Aliyyun mawlahu' (Whoever I am the mawla of, Ali is his mawla), to stand up and testify to it." Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) says: At this, twelve Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) who had fought at Badr stood up; it is as though I am looking at one of them who was wearing trousers. They all testified: We heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the day of Ghadir Khumm: "Do I not have more right over the believers than they have over themselves, and are my wives not their mothers?" We said: "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So whoever I am the mawla of, Ali is his mawla. 'Allahumma wali man walahu wa 'adi man 'adahu' (O Allah, befriend and love whoever befriends and loves him, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him)."
