In the Name of All¡h, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Introduction
The Noble Prophet (prayers of All¡h be upon him and his family) has said:

<íŽ { Úÿ ^ÿéÏŽ ĞÖ]<ÿÝłç{ èÿ <₣#]<Łäÿn{{{Ãÿ eÿ <^{{ãÿ eŽ <ÿáçŁÃËŽ jÿ łß{{{èÿ <^⁄n<è‚Ž {u

“The person from my nation who memorizes forty traditions pertaining to those issues
of religion which one is in need of, will be resurrected by All¡h on the Day of Judgement
as a person with deep insight into the faith and as a scholar.”
In following the above °ad¢th, The Islamic Education Board of The World Federation
of KSIMC (IEB - WF) has decided to publish a series of booklets of 40 A¦¡d¢th on
different subjects. The A¦¡d¢th that have been selected from various sources, are short
and simple and therefore easy to understand and memorize. It is envisaged that the
booklets will not only be useful for Zakireen, Madrasah teachers and students, but will
be of benefit to the Ummah at large.
The collection of the A¦¡d¢th and introduction of this present work was done by
Ma¶m£d Shar¢f¢ [as found on the InterNet at
http://www.hawzah.net/Per/K/Qadir/Qadir.htm],
http://www.hawzah.net/Per/K/Qadir/Qadir.htm while the translation in English was
carried out by Shaykh Saleem Bhimji. IEB - WF would like to thank Shaykh Saleem for
his efforts in the translation of this work. May All¡h (Glory and Greatness be to Him)
accept this work as a further attempt by IEB - WF to propagate Isl¡m.

 Introduction

I
n the tenth year after the migration to Mad¢nah, the year which
later became known as °ajjatul Wid¡{ [The (year of the) farewell
°ajj], the Muslims who had accompanied the Noble Prophet

to Makkah were finishing their °ajj rites. Once the °ajj was
complete, the Prophet
and those with him were making their way
back to Mad¢nah and the other cities from which they had come.
When they reached R¡bigh - a spot three miles from Ju¶fah, one of
the miq°t for the Øujj°j - the order came from All¡h i to halt the
entire caravan.
At this point, the Truthful conveyor of the revelation, Jibr°}¢l  came
to the Prophet
who was stationed in the valley known as Ghad¢r
Khumm and revealed the following verse of the Qur}¡n to him:

/ . ! -
 , + * ) ( ' & % $  #  "

“O’ Messenger! Convey that which has been revealed to you from
your Lord and if you do not do so, it is as if you have not conveyed
His message at all, and All¡h will protect you from the people…”
(S£ratul M°idah (5), Verse 67)
9
Since this verse commanded the Prophet
to stop right where he
was, he himself and those with him, halted in the valley of Ghad¢r.
It was noontime, and as can be expected, the weather was extremely
hot. The Noble Prophet
performed ¯al¡tul Zuhr in congregation,
and then with multitudes of people around him, ascended to a small
platform built from camel saddles and other things that the Muslims
had with them.
In a loud voice, he gave a long speech and said to the people: “O’
people! Know that shortly I shall answer the call of The Truth (All¡h)
and will no longer be among you – I have a responsibility (to All¡h)
and you too have a responsibility (towards Him).”
The Prophet
then mentioned something very important to the
people and stated: “I am leaving behind two weighty things to you as
a trust – one of them is the Book of All¡h, and the other is my family,
the Ahlul Ba¢t. These two shall never separate from one another. O’
people! Do not attempt to supersede the Qur}¡n and my family, and
do not be negligent in your actions towards these two, because if you
do so, you shall be destroyed.”
After stating this, he took the hand of {Al¢ , raised it up and
introduced him to the multitudes of people and asked: “Who has
more of a right over the believers than their own selves?” Everyone
present proclaimed: “All¡h and His Prophet know better.”
10
The Noble Prophet
then said: “All¡h is my master and I am the
master of all the believers and I have more right and authority over
the believers than they have over their own selves.”
Then he continued:

“Whomsoever I am his master, this {Al¢ is also his master. O’ All¡h!
Befriend he who befriends him ({Al¢) and oppose he who opposes him
({Al¢).”
The Angel of Revelation, Jibra}¢l  once again descended by the
order of All¡h i and this time, revealed the following verse of the
Qur}¡n:

“On this day have I completed your religion for you and perfected My
bounties upon you and am pleased with Isl¡m as being your religion.”
Therefore, this day was marked in history as a momentous and grand
day.

11
The day of Ghad¢r was a day of epic proportions in history. It was a
day which would become known as the Day of Wil¡yat (Mastership);
the Day of Im¡mate (Leadership); the Day of Wi¥¡yat
(Successorship); the Day of Brotherhood; the Day of Valour; the Day
of Courage, Bravery and Protection (of the faith); the Day of Pleasure
for the Believers; and they Day of Candidness.
It was a Day of:
• (Divine) blessings;
• Showing thanks to the Almighty;
• Conveyance of the message;
• Congratulations and felicitations;
• Happiness, delight and gift giving;
• The pact and promise and renewal of the Pledge of
Allegiance;
• Completion of the religion;
• Expression of the truth;
• Grief of Sha¢§¡n;
• Introducing the leader and the (true) path;
• Testing (the faith) of the Muslims;
12
 • Despair for the enemies;
• Hope for the (true) friends.
In summary, it was the Day of Isl¡m, Qur}¡n, and the Ahlul Ba¢t .
It was the day which the followers of the true teachings of the faith of
Isl¡m mark with great esteem and a day when they congratulate one
another.
It can be understood from the A¦¡d¢th that the A}immah  took this
day as one of celebration and used to hold special programs to
ccelebrate this event. It has been narrated from Fayy°§ ibne
Mu¦ammad at-∞£s¢ that, “I was in the presence of the 8th Im¡m on
the day of Ghad¢r (18th of Dhul Øijjah). I saw a particular group of
people serving the Im¡m and the Im¡m was (intentionally) keeping
them in his house until the time of sunset came so that he may give
them food to eat (and thus enable them to break their fast). The
Im¡m ordered that food, new clothes, shoes, rings, and other gifts be
sent for their families. In the house, I noticed that the state of all of
those present was something completely different than normal, and it
was from those people that I learned the greatness and magnitude of
this day.” (Bi¦¡rul Anw¡r, volume 97, page 112, ¦ad¢th 8)
In another °ad¢th it has been mentioned that one day during the days
of the “open caliphate” of Im¡m {Al¢ , the day of Jumu{ah and {E¢d
13
Ghad¢r fell together. On this day, the Im¡m  delivered a long
speech and said, “This gathering shall soon come to an end and all of
you will go back to your homes and families – may All¡h shower His
mercy upon all of you.
On this day, you should be kind to your families and do good deeds
to your brothers. You should thank All¡h for the blessings which He
has granted you. You must also be sure to unite with one another so
that through this, All¡h may assist you.
Do good to others so that All¡h makes your friendship firm and
immovable. From the blessings which All¡h has given you, give gifts
to one another. On this day, All¡h will give rewards (to you) in
multiple folds compared to other days of celebration ({E¢d). This form
of reward cannot be attained except through this day (Ghad¢r). Doing
good to others and giving away much wealth to others increases the
life span. Being a host to others results in the mercy and love of All¡h
descending upon you.
On this day, as much as you are able to, give your brothers and family
a portion of the wealth which All¡h has granted you.
Always be smiling and in a happy mood when you meet one another;
and be sure to thank All¡h for the blessings which He has showered
upon you.

14
Go towards those people whose hope may lie in you and do good to
them. In regards to your food and drink (on this day), ensure that
between you and those who are under your care and supervision,
there is equality. This equality and equity must be displayed to the
extent of your ability (and you should know that) the reward of giving
one dirham of charity on this day is equivalent to giving 100,000
dirhams of charity (on any other day) and the Divine bounty of this is
in All¡h’s hands alone.
All¡h has also made it highly recommended to fast on this day and
has promised a great reward for one who observes it. If a person was
to look after the needs and necessities of his brothers, even before his
own wishes and desires (were expressed to All¡h), and if one was to
look after their requests in the best possible way, then one would be
granted such a reward that it would be equivalent to fasting the entire
day and spending the entire night in worship until the morning hours.
A person who feeds another fasting person on this day will be equal to
that person who went person by person and fed all of the fasting
people (with his own hands).
You must convey all that you have just heard to those who are not
here. The strong and able people must go out in search of the weak
people; the powerful must go in search of the oppressed, as these are
all things which the Prophet
has commanded me to do.”

15
Im¡m {Al¢  then read the Khu§bah for Jumu{ah and performed the
¯al¡t al-Jumu{ah (since there is no special ¯al¡t for this {Eid). He then
went with his children and Sh¢{a to the house of Im¡m °usain ,
where food was ready, and he distributed gifts to the Sh¢{a – both the
needy and the free from need - who had accompanied him, and then
instructed them to go home to their families.”1

Insh¡-All¡h, we hope that one day all Muslims of the world will mark
the day of {E¢dul Ghad¢r in such a great and magnanimous way and
celebrate it as it deserves to be celebrated.

nation. It is the day on which All¡h, the High, ordered me to mention
the appointment of my brother, {Al¢ ibne Ab¢ ±¡lib as the flag and

(peace be upon him) that he said, “This is the greatest {E¢d of All¡h,
and every Prophet appointed by All¡h celebrated this day as an {E¢d,
and knew the sanctity of this day. The name of this day in the
heavens is the Day of the Allegiance and Well-Known Pact, and on
the Earth this Day is known as the Day of the Promise which is taken
and the Day of the Gathering of those who witnessed (the event).”

the two {E¢d (of al-A¤¦¡ and al-Fi§r) and the Jumu{ah?” The Im¡m

that is the day when Am¢rul Mo}min¢n (peace be upon him) was

The Messenger of All¡h (blessings of All¡h be upon him and his

must convey the following to those who are not, “I advise the person
who believes in me and has confirmed me (as being the final Prophet)
to accept the Wil¡yat (mastership of {Al¢). Now surely the mastership
of {Al¢ is my mastership, and my mastership is the mastership of my
Lord. This is a pledge from my Lord which He commanded me to
convey to all of you.”

Ab£ {Abdill¡h [Im¡m Ja{far ibne Mu¦ammad as-¯¡diq] (peace be
upon him) has said, “…and surely this is the day when the Messenger
of All¡h (blessings of All¡h be upon him and his family) appointed {Al¢
(peace be upon him) as the flag for the people and made known his
greatness and successorship; and he fasted on this day as a sign of
thanks to All¡h, the Glorious and Noble. This day should be taken as
one of fasting, feeding others, establishing ties with brothers (in faith),
and on this day is the pleasure of the Most Merciful (al-Ra¦m¡n) and
the rubbing in the dust (humiliation) of the face of Sha¢§¡n.”

It has been narrated from Am¢rul Mo’min¢n [{Al¢ ibne Ab¢ ±¡lib]
(peace be upon him) that he said, “…when you meet each other (on
the Day of {Eid Ghad¢r), shake hands with one another with greetings
(of peace) and exchange gifts on this day and let those who are
present convey this to those who are not, and let the rich person give
something to the poor, and the powerful one to the weak, as the
Messenger of All¡h (blessings of All¡h be upon him and his family)
commanded me to (also) do this.”

[Im¡m Ja{far ibne Mu¦ammad as-¯¡diq] (peace be upon him) that he

35
said, “May I be sacrificed for you! Do the Muslims have a festivity
other than the two {E¢d celebrations?” The Im¡m (peace be upon him)
replied, “Yes O’ °asan! (There is one) greater than these two and
much worthier than them.” The companion replied, “And what day is
that?” The Im¡m said, “The day upon which Am¢rul Mo}min¢n [{Al¢
ibne Ab¢ ±¡lib] (peace be upon him) was appointed as the flag (of
guidance) for the people.” The companion then asked, “May I be
sacrificed for you! And what should we do (on this day)?” The Im¡m
replied, “You should fast on it, O’ °asan, and recite many prayers
upon Mu¦ammad and his family and disavow yourself towards All¡h
from all of those who oppressed them; surely the Prophets (of the
past) also commanded their successors to consider the day of their
appointment a day of celebration and {E¢d.”

The Messenger of All¡h (blessings of All¡h be upon him and his
family) has said, “The Wil¡yat of {Al¢ ibne Ab¢ ±¡lib is the Wil¡yat of
All¡h; love for him ({Al¢) is worship of All¡h; following him ({Al¢) is an
obligatory act from All¡h; his friends are the friends of All¡h and his
enemies are the enemies of All¡h; fighting with him is (like) fighting
against All¡h; and making peace with him is (like) making peace with
All¡h, the Noble and Grand.”

The Messenger of All¡h (blessings of All¡h be upon him and his
family) has said, “O’ {Al¢! I am the city of knowledge and you are its
gate and no one can enter into the city except by going through its
gate … You are the Im¡m of my nation and you are my successor.
Blessed is the person who obeys you and depraved is the person who
disobeys you. One who follows you will succeed, while the one who
turns away from you will be in a loss.”

From the Prophet (blessings of All¡h be upon him and his family), in
his address on the Day of Ghad¢r: “{Al¢ is the exegesis (Tafs¢r) of the
57
book of All¡h and the one who calls others to it. Verily, that which is
permitted and forbidden is more than what I can explain to you; what
I command you as permitted and forbid you as prohibited, is all from
one position. I was commanded to take your allegiance and your
pledge to accept what I brought from All¡h, the Exalted, regarding
{Al¢, the commander of the believers, and the Im¡ms after him. O’
People! Ponder and understand the verses (of the Qur}an), observe
those that are clear and do not follow those that are unclear; for by
All¡h no one can explain to you its limitations or clarify its meanings
except the one whose hand I am holding (meaning Im¡m {Al¢).”
