On 18th of Dhul-hijjah of the year 10 A.H. (10 March 632 CE), after completing the last pilgrimage, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa'Aalihi Wassallam) along with around 100,000 Muslims reached a place called 'Ghadir-e-Khumm' near Mecca. The following verse was revealed : O Messenger! Deliver what bas been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving people. [Quran 5:67]
On receiving the above verse, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa'Aalihi Wassallam) stopped at that very place and delivered a speech an extract of which is as follows:
The Messenger of Allah declared:“It seems the time approached when I shall be called away (by Allah) and I shall answer that call. I am leaving for you two precious things and if you adhere both of them, you will never go astray after me. They are the Book of Allah and my Progeny, that is my Ahlul-Bayt. The two shall never separate from each other until they come to me by the Pool (of Paradise).”
Then the Messenger of Allah continued:“Do I not have more right over the believers than what they have over themselves?”People cried and answered: "Yes, O’Messenger of God.”Then Prophet (Sallallahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa'Aalihi Wassallam) held up the hand of 'Sayyiduna Ali and said: "Whoever I am his leader (Mawla), ‘Ali is his leader (Mawla). O’God, love those who love him, and be hostile to those who are hostile to him.”
