وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ:
إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَضَرَ الشَّجَرَةَ بِخُمٍّ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ آخِذًا بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ: " أَلَسْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى رَبُّكُمْ ؟ " قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ ﷺ: أَلَسْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أَوْلَى بِكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَأَنَّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أَوْلِيَاؤُكُمْ ؟ ". فَقَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ: " فَمَنْ كَانَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَوْلَاهُ، وَقَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمْ مَا إِنْ أَخَذْتُمْ بِهِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا: كِتَابَ اللهِ تَعَالَى، سَبَبُهُ بِيَدِي، وَسَبَبُهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ، وَأَهْلَ بَيْتِي

✧ The Prophet ﷺ attended the tree at Khumm, then came out holding the hand of Ali ؓ and said: "Do you not bear witness that Allah, Blessed and Exalted, is your Lord?" They said: "Yes." He ﷺ said: "Do you not bear witness that Allah and His Messenger have more right over you than your own selves, and that Allah and His Messenger are your guardians?" They said: "Yes." He said: "So whoever's guardian is Allah and His Messenger, indeed this one is his guardian. I have left among you that which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray: the Book of Allah, the Exalted, its rope is in my hand and its rope is in your hands, and my household."
