أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ
لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَنَزَلَ غَدِيرَ خُمٍّ أَمَرَ بَدَوْحَاتٍ فَقُمِمْنَ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَأَنِّي قَدْ دُعِيتُ فَأَجَبْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْآخِرِ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَخْلُفُونِي فِيهِمَا؟ فَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَتَفَرَّقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ مَوْلَايَ وَأَنَا وَلِيُّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيُّهُ فَهَذَا وَلِيُّهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» فَقُلْتُ لِزَيْدٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا كَانَ فِي الدَّوْحَاتِ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا رَآهُ بِعَيْنِهِ وَسَمِعَ بِأُذُنِهِ»

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Farewell Pilgrimage and stopped at Ghadir Khumm, he ordered some large trees to be cleared beneath them. Then he said: It is as if I have been summoned and have answered. I have left among you the two weighty things: one of them is greater than the other—the Book of Allah and my offspring, the people of my household. So consider how you will succeed me in regard to them, for they will never separate until they return to me at the Pond. Then he said: "Allah is my ally, and I am the ally of every believer." Then he took Ali by the hand and said: "Whoever's ally I am, this is his ally. O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him." I said to Zayd: Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: "There was no man under the trees who did not see him with his own eyes and hear him with his own ears."
