أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي 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 كِتَابُ اللهِ وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلُ 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 وَلِيَّهُ فَهَذَا وَلِيُّهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» فَقُلْتُ لِزَيْدٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَ فِي الدَّوْحَاتِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا رَآهُ بِعَيْنَيْهِ وَسَمِعَهُ بِأُذُنَيْهِ»

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Farewell Pilgrimage and stopped at Ghadir Khumm, he ordered some large trees to be trimmed, then said, "It is as if I have been called and I have answered. I am leaving among you two weighty things, one of which is greater than the other: the Book of Allah and my offspring, my household. Consider how you will deal with them after me, for they will never separate until they return to me at the Pond." Then he said, "Indeed, Allah is my Master, and I am the guardian of every believer." Then he took Ali by the hand and said, "Whoever I am his guardian, this is his guardian. O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him, and be hostile to whoever opposes him." I said to Zayd, "Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "There was no one among the trees who did not see him with his own eyes and hear him with his own ears."
