أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ
مَيْمُونٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ
زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ ، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ : نَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَادٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : وَادِي خُمٍّ ، فَأَمَرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ ، فَصَلَّاهَا بِهَجِيرٍ ، قَالَ فَخَطَبَنَا ، وَظُلِّلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَوْبٍ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ سَمُرَةٍ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَوَ لَسْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ؟ قَالُوا : بَلَى ، قَالَ :
فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ ، فَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا مَوْلَاهُ ، اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ ، وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We camped at the place of "Ghadir Khumm." After a while, the call of "As-Salatu Jami'ah" was made. A place was prepared for the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) under two trees. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Zuhr prayer, and holding the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he said twice: "Do you not know that I have more right over the believers than their own selves?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "Why not!" Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pressed the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Whoever I am a beloved to, Ali should also be a beloved to him. O Allah, O Allah! Love the one who loves Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and be the enemy of the one who is hostile to him."
