The Pledge of Al-Ghadir, No One Violated it Except A Disbeliever

بسم الله الواحد القهار

Allamah Al-Majlisi:

[Qurb Al-Isnaad] As-Sindi Ibn Mohammad from Safwan Al-Jamal who said: ‘Abu Abdullah(عليه السلام), he said: I heard him saying: "When the matter of Wilayah was revealed about Ali, a man stood up from among the people, saying: 'Verily, this Messenger just tied a tie for this man(i.e. for Amirul-Muminin(عليه السلام)) that no one shall untie it except for a disbeliever.' So the second (i.e. the second usurper, Umar) came to him and said: 'O servant of Allah, who are you?' the man remained silent, so the second(i.e. Umar) went to the Messenger of Allah(صلى الله عليه وآله) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I saw a man among people saying: 'Verily, this Messenger just tied a tie for this man that no one shall untie it except for a disbeliever.', So he said: 'O so and so, that was Jibra'il, so be careful to not be the person who unties this tie and apostates.''"

Eid of Al-Ghadir and Fasting in it

بسم الله الواحد القهار

Sheikh As-Saduq:

Reward of fasting in the day of Ghadir Khum

Narrated my father, may Allah bless him, saying: narrated to us Sa'd Ibn Abdullah from Ibrahim Ibn Hashim from Al-Qasim Ibn Yahya from his grandfather Al-Hasan Ibn Rashed from Abi Abdullah(عليه السلام), saying: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah(عليه السلام), saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, is there any other Eid for the Muslims besides the two Eids?’ 

The Imam replied, ‘Yes, O Hassan, there is a greater and more important Eid than these two.’ 

I then asked, ‘When is such Eid?’ 

He replied, ‘It is the day when ’Amirul Muminin(عليه السلام) was appointed as the banner and lighthouse for people.’ 

I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, ‘When is this Eid?’ 

He replied: ‘Days repeat themselves and that is the 18th of Dhil Hijjah.’

I then said, ‘what then we should do on this day?’ 

He replied, ‘Fast, O Hassan, increase your appeal before Allah saying, “Grant salawat (favors and compensation to Mohammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause).” Denounce before Allah those who oppressed them and usurped their right, because the prophets, may Allah grant them favors, would command the trustees to celebrate the day when they were appointed as executors of the will, as Eid.’ 

I then asked, ‘What happens if one fasts on such day?’ 

He replied, ‘Fasting on this day is equal to fasting for sixty months. And do not ignore fasting on the twenty-seventh of the month of Rajab. It is the day when prophet-hood came down up on Mohammad(صلي الله وعليه وآله). Fasting on this day is equal to sixty months of yours.’”

The Day of Al-Ghadir The Noblest of The Eids

بسم الله الواحد القهار

Sheikh Hadi An-Najafi:

As-Saduq: from his father from that Sa'd Ibn Abdullah from Yaqub Ibn Yazid from Mohammad Ibn Ibn Abi Umayr from more than one narrator that Aba Abdullah As-Sadiq (عليه السلام) said, “Saturdays are for us. Sundays are for our followers. Mondays are for our enemies. Tuesdays are for the Umayyads. Wednesdays are the days for taking medicine. Thursdays are for taking care of your needs. Fridays are for cleaning up and putting on perfume. Fridays are Eid for the Muslims. They are even better than Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adh'ha. The Day of Al-Ghadir is the noblest of the Eids. It is on the eighteenth day of the month of Dhul-Hijja. The Riser (عليه السلام) of us, the Ahlulbayt, will rise on a Friday. The Resurrection Day will be on a Friday. No deeds are better on Fridays than sending God's Blessings upon Mohammad (صلي الله وعليه وآله) and his Family(عليهم السلام).”

The Day The Religion Was Perfected

بسم الله الواحد القهار

Sheikh Hadi An-Najafi:

Al-Kulayni has narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abu 'Umayr from 'Umar ibn Uzaina from Zurara and Fudhayl ibn Yasaar and Bukayr ibn A'yan and Mohammad ibn Muslim and Burayd ibn Mu‘awiya and abu a1-Jarud, all have said that abu Ja'far (عليه السلام) said the following:
“Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious, commanded His Messenger to declare the Leadership with Divine Authority of Ali(عليه السلام) and sent down to him this: ‘Only Allah, His Messenger, and (also) the true believers who are steadfast in prayer and pay alms, while they kneel during prayer (in Ruku’), are your guardians (with Divine Authority).’ [5:55], He made obedience to those in authority obligatory. The people did not know who they were. Allah commanded Mohammad(صلي الله وعليه وآله) to interpret (and explain) the ‘Authority’ for them as he had interpreted (and explained) Prayer, Zakat , Fasting and Hajj.
When this command (to obey those who possess Divine Authority) came to him from Allah, the Messenger of Allah(صلي الله وعليه وآله) felt pressured (and afraid of people’s abandoning their religion). He prayed to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious, about it and Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious, revealed to him this: ‘O Messenger, preach what is revealed to you from your Lord. If you do not preach, it will be as though you have not conveyed My message. Allah protects you from men. He does not guide the unbelieving people.’ [5:67], He executed the command of Allah, Most Exalted is Whose mention, and declared that Ali(عليه السلام) had received Divine Authority for leadership over His creatures. He made this declaration on the day of Ghadir Khum (18th of Dhu al-Hajja). After the prayer in congregation he convened the command and asked people present to bear testimony and inform those who were absent.
“‘Umar ibn ’Uzaina said, ‘All, except abu al-Jarud, have added: “Abu Ja‘far(عليه السلام) also said: ‘One commandment would come after the other and the commandment about Leadership and Guardianship with Divine Authority was the last of such commandments. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious, then sent down this: ‘On this day I have perfected your religion, completed My favors to you, and chosen Islam as your religion. . . .’ [5:3] Abu Ja‘far(عليه السلام) said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious, said, ‘I will not send down any other commandments thereafter. I have completed for you the commandments.’”

A Promise to Iblees in Ghadir

بسم الله الواحد القهار

Sheikh Ali Ibn Ibrahim Al-Qummi:

As about the Statement of Allah: "And Satan indeed found his calculation true concerning them, for they follow him, all save a group of true believers."[34:20]

His statement: "And Satan indeed found his calculation true concerning them, for they follow him, all save a group of true believers.[34:20]"

Narrated my father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Ibn Sinan from Abi Abdullah(عليه السلام), who said: "When Allah ordered his Prophet(صلي الله وعليه وآله) to appoint Amirul Muminin(عليه السلام) over people following the verse: 'O Messenger! deliver what bas been revealed to you from your Lord {about Ali};[5:67]' in Ghadir Khum and he said: 'whomsoever I am the master, Ali is his master', then the devils came to their great Devil and they were mourning by throwing dust over their heads, so Iblees said to them: 'what is the matter?' they said: 'this man has tied a tie today that nothing can open it till the Day of Judgment', Iblees said to them:'Never, verily those who were around him have promised me something about this that they will never break.' Then Allah revealed this verse to His Messenger: 'And Satan indeed found his calculation true concerning them,...[34:20]'"
