The holy Prophet (s): "Anyone I am his master (Wali), then 'Ali (a) is his master."

Hawzah News Agency – The sixth part of Al-Ghadīr Sermon is presented to you dear readers:

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، (آمِنُوا بِالله وَ رَسُولِهِ وَالنَّورِ الَّذی أُنْزِلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَطْمِسَ وُجُوهاً فَنَرُدَّها عَلی أَدْبارِها أَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ کَما لَعَنَّا أَصْحابَ السَّبْتِ). (بالله ما عَنی بِهذِهِ الْآیَةِ إِلاَّ قَوْماً مِنْ أَصْحابی أَعْرِفُهُمْ بِأَسْمائِهِمْ وَأَنْسابِهِمْ، وَقَدْ أُمِرْتُ بِالصَّفْحِ عَنْهُمْ فَلْیَعْمَلْ کُلُّ امْرِئٍ عَلی مایَجِدُ لِعَلِی فی قَلْبِهِ مِنَ الْحُبِّ وَالْبُغْضِ).

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، النُّورُ مِنَ الله عَزَّوَجَلَّ مَسْلوکٌ فِی ثُمَّ فی عَلِی بْنِ أَبی طالِبٍ، ثُمَّ فِی النَّسْلِ مِنْهُ إِلَی الْقائِمِ الْمَهْدِی الَّذی یَأْخُذُ بِحَقِّ الله وَ بِکُلِّ حَقّ هُوَ لَنا، لاَِنَّ الله عَزَّوَجَلَّ قَدْ جَعَلَنا حُجَّةً عَلَی الْمُقَصِّرینَ وَالْمعُانِدینَ وَالُْمخالِفینَ وَالْخائِنینَ وَالْآثِمینَ وَالّظَالِمینَ وَالْغاصِبینَ مِنْ جَمیعِ الْعالَمینَ.

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، أُنْذِرُکُمْ أَنّی رَسُولُ الله قَدْخَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِی الرُّسُلُ، أَفَإِنْ مِتُّ أَوْقُتِلْتُ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلی أَعْقابِکُمْ؟ وَمَنْ یَنْقَلِبْ عَلی عَقِبَیْهِ فَلَنْهان یَضُرَّالله شَیْئاً وَسَیَجْزِی الله الشّاکِرینَ (الصّابِرینَ). أَلاوَإِنَّ عَلِیّاً هُوَالْمَوْصُوفُ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالشُّکْرِ، ثُمَّ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وُلْدی مِنْ صُلْبِهِ.

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، لاتَمُنُّوا عَلَی بِإِسْلامِکُمْ، بَلْ لاتَمُنُّوا عَلَی الله فَیُحْبِطَ عَمَلَکُمْ وَیَسْخَطَ عَلَیْکُمْ وَ یَبْتَلِیَکُمْ بِشُواظٍ مِنْ نارٍ وَنُحاسٍ، إِنَّ رَبَّکُمْ لَبِا الْمِرْصادِ.

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، إِنَّهُ سَیَکُونُ مِنْ بَعْدی أَئمَّةٌ یَدْعُونَ إِلَی النّارِ وَیَوْمَ الْقِیامَةِ لایُنْصَرونَ. مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، إِنَّ الله وَأَنَا بَریئانِ مِنْهُمْ.

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، إِنَّهُمْ وَأَنْصارَهُمْ وَأَتْباعَهُمْ وَأَشْیاعَهُمْ فِی الدَّرْکِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النّارِ وَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَی الْمُتَکَبِّرِینَ. أَلا إِنَّهُمْ أَصْحابُ الصَّحیفَةِ، فَلْیَنْظُرْ أَحَدُکُمْ فی صَحیفَتِهِ!!

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، إِنِّی أَدَعُها إِمامَةً وَ وِراثَةً (فی عَقِبی إِلی یَوْمِ الْقِیامَةِ)، وَقَدْ بَلَّغْتُ ما أُمِرتُ بِتَبْلیغِهِهان حُجَّةً عَلی کُلِّ حاضِرٍ وَغائبٍ وَ عَلی کُلِّ أَحَدٍ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ أَوْلَمْ یَشْهَدْ، وُلِدَ أَوْلَمْ یُولَدْ، فَلْیُبَلِّغِ الْحاضِرُ الْغائِبَ وَالْوالِدُ الْوَلَدَ إِلی یَوْمِ الْقِیامَةِ. وَسَیَجْعَلُونَ الْإِمامَةَ بَعْدی مُلْکاً وَ اغْتِصاباً، (أَلا لَعَنَ الله الْغاصِبینَ الْمُغْتَصبینَ)، وَعِنْدَها سَیَفْرُغُ لَکُمْ أَیُّهَا الثَّقَلانِ (مَنْ یَفْرَغُ) وَیُرْسِلُ عَلَیْکُما شُواظٌ مِنْ نارٍ وَنُحاسٌ فَلاتَنْتَصِرانِ.

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، إِنَّ الله عَزَّوَجَلَّ لَمْ یَکُنْ لِیَذَرَکُمْ عَلی ما أَنْتُمْ عَلَیْهِ حَتّی یَمیزَالْخَبیثَ مِنَ الطَّیِّبِ، وَ ما کانَ الله لِیُطْلِعَکُمْ عَلَی الْغَیْبِ.

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، إِنَّهُ ما مِنْ قَرْیَةٍ إِلاّ وَالله مُهْلِکُها بِتَکْذیبِها قَبْلَ یَوْمِ الْقِیامَةِ وَ مُمَلِّکُهَا الْإِمامَ الْمَهْدِی وَالله مُصَدِّقٌ وَعْدَهُ.

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، قَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَکُمْ أَکْثَرُالْأَوَّلینَ، وَالله لَقَدْ أَهْلَکَ الْأَوَّلینَ، وَهُوَ مُهْلِکُ الْآخِرینَ.

قالَ الله تَعالی: (أَلَمْ نُهْلِکِ الْأَوَّلینَ، ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرینَ، کذالِکَ نَفْعَلُ بِالُْمجْرِمینَ، وَیْلٌ یَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُکَذِّبینَ).

مَعاشِرَالنّاسِ، إِنَّ الله قَدْ أَمَرَنی وَنَهانی، وَقَدْ أَمَرْتُ عَلِیّاً وَنَهَیْتُهُ (بِأَمْرِهِ). فَعِلْمُ الْأَمْرِ وَالنَّهُی لَدَیْهِ، فَاسْمَعُوا لاَِمْرِهِ تَسْلَمُوا وَأَطیعُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا وَانْتَهُوا لِنَهْیِهِ تَرشُدُوا، (وَصیرُوا إِلی مُرادِهِ) وَلا تَتَفَرَّقْ بِکُمُ السُّبُلُ عَنْ سَبیلِهِ.

 “O people! Believe in God and believe in His Messenger and in the Glorious [Book] which has been sent down with him, (Haggling: 64/8), before We blot out the faces and turn them backwards; or curse them as We cursed the People of the Sabbath – [The Jews who were to act wittingly against God] (The Woman: 4/47).

I swear to God that the true sense of this Verse is referred to a group of my companions whose names I know, but it is pity, I have been asked not to reveal their identity. Thus, behave you according to your hearts’ pleasure – whatever you feel: of love or hatred towards Ali.

O people! The Light, by God Almighty, is put inside me, and then inside Ali, and then inside his lineage, until Mahdi, the Upright, who shall demand the Divine Right as well our right. For God has put us as an irrefutable Proof, before those who are careless, and disprove us; who are throughout the world as: traitors, usurpers, sinners, tyrants, and oppressors!

O people! I announce that I am God’s Messenger and before me, there were also other messengers. So, what if I should pass away, or be killed? Will you return backwards – turn on your heels? For one who turns backward, will not harm God, and God will reward those who are thankful and patient! (The Family of Imran: 3/144).

And know that indeed Ali, and after him my progeny, all from his linage, are perfect and deserve being praised.

O people! Do stop, and do not impress me the Islam you have embraced for your own, (The Chambers: 49/17), such action will indeed damage all your acts; and Almighty God will be annoyed with you. Then He will involve you in the Flame of Fire and the melted bronze, (The Mercy giving: 55/35), that is kept in store for you. For indeed God is on the look-out for you! (The Daybreak: 89/14).

O people! Soon after me, there will come to you some leaders, who will call you enter the Fire, then, on that Day of Judgement, there is no assistant to rise for their aid! (The Narration: 28/41).

O people! Know that both God and I detest such crowd.

O people! These men along with their disciples, and their companions and their followers, will be thrown in the lowest part of the Fire; see how horrible is the place of such proud! (The Bees: 16/29).

Know that they are the followers of ‘Manuscript’, thus, now each of you should look at his own manuscript.

O people! Now, I leave to you, [as documentation], the issue of the Leadership, and the succession, and its perpetuation in my lineage until the Day of Resurrection; I have passed on to you what I have been said to disclose, so that it becomes as a clear argument for those who are present and those who are absent; for those-who are here or not here-and those who are born, or even not born. Thus, those present today, should make this news known to those who are absent, that is, fathers [should tell it to] their sons, until the Day the Resurrection rises!

But soon after I am gone, there will be some who shall unfairly take the Leadership by force, then replace it with Monarchy. May God damn the usurpers and those who take [the trusteeships] by force, but, of course, when, at that moment, God unleashes the infernal Fire, and melted bronze on you, the jinn and Mankind, you will not have a helper to be kind to you! (The Mercy giving; 55 / 31-35).

O people! God will not leave you on your own, except He has separated the pure from the impure; and God will not let you know of the ‘Unseen’, (The Family of Imran: 3/179).

O people! There shall remain not a single land, which has not been destroyed by God’s Will before the coming of the Resurrection Day, it is for the abjurations and the denials that their inhabitants will have pronounced, and their places will be under the government of his holiness Mahdi, and God Almighty fulfills His Promise!

O people! Before your era, the most people of the older times went astray, and it was God’s will to destroy them all, and again it will be He Who will eliminate the on-coming generations. God Almighty, in His Book, has stated: ‘Did We not destroy the despots of the old? So shall We do with the later generations after them. Thus We deal with the men of errors. Ah! Woe that Day, to the Rejecters!’” (The Emissaries: 77/19).

“O people! God has stated me His exemption and restriction of certain things, and I also, by Divine Command, have ordained Ali the knowledge of it, and forbidden him [some things]. And [thus] the knowledge of ordaining and forbidding, remains with him; therefore, listen to his commands, so that to be safe, and obey him so as you may get on the course. Accept his Warning, so that to find the right direction, and walk on towards his ultimate destination! [Thus, beware] so as not to draw away from His Path into the diverted paths!” (Livestock: 6/153).

Al-Ghadīr Sermon:

Al-Ghadīr Sermon (Arabic: خطبة الغدير) is a sermon delivered by the Prophet (s) where he (s) introduced 'Ali (a) as the Wali (guardian) of Muslims. The prophet (s) delivered this sermon on Dhu l-Hijja 18 of 10/March 19, 632) on the return from Hajjat al-Wida' [Hajj of Farewell] in a place called Ghadir Khumm. Many Shi'a and Sunni scholars have narrated this sermon.

Al-Ghadir sermon is one of the proofs Shi'a bring for the guardianship of Imam 'Ali (a) after the Prophet (s). Shi'a also support their claim with other proofs and evidences.

The Hadith al-Ghadir is a part of this sermon where the Prophet (s) says, "Anyone I am his master (Wali), then 'Ali (a) is his master."

Since, this phrase is narrated by more than 110 companions of the Prophet (s) and 84 Followers, it can be said that this hadith has been narrated as mutawatir (frequent).

Allamah 'Abd al-Husayn Amini collected all the references for this sermon and the Hadith al-Ghadir from Sunni sources and published them together with all other supportive reasons for the event of Ghadir in 11 volumes in his book al-Ghadir.
