Hutheifeh says: The Prophet, then, stated: “O people! The Aware, the Knowing informed me that prophets attain only the half of the age of the succeeding ones. I do conclude that I am to be soon invited, and I am to
answer. I, as well as you, shall be questioned. What will you reply?” “We do confirm that you have conveyed, done well and advised. God may reward you with good.” They answered.
Thence, the Prophet said: “Do you maintain there is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is Allah's slave and apostle, and the Paradise is true, the Hell-fire is true, death is true, the post-earthly life resurrection is true and the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it; and Allah shall raise up those who are in the graves?” “Yes, we do maintain so.” they answered. “O Allah! Be the witness.” supplicated the Prophet, and added: “O people! Allah is surely my Master. I am the master of the believers. I am preceded to the believers' souls. He whomever I was his master, this — Ali — is being his master. O Allah! Accede to whom accedes to him, and oppose whom opposes him.”99
The Prophet then added: “O people! I will be preceding you to the Heavenly Pool and you shall be

Zaid relates: When the Prophet went back from the Farewell Pilgrimage and resided at Ghadeer Khum, he ordered of sweeping the ground under some bushes there. He, then, sermonized: “I do conclude that I am to be soon invited, and I am to answer. I am leaving among you the two weighty things, one of whom is greater than the other. It is the Book of Allah, the Elevated, and my clan; my household. Suppose how you should esteem me in these two. Certainly, they shall never separate until they shall join me on the Pool. Allah, the Exalted, is surely my Master. I am the master of the believers.” He then took Ali from the hand and declared: “He whomever I was his master, this — Ali — is being his master. O Allah! Accede to whom accedes to him, and oppose whom opposes him.”100

Immediately, he took Ali from the hand and declared: “He whomever I was his master, this — Ali — is being his master. O Allah! Accede to whom accedes to him, and oppose whom opposes him.”

On one Friday, I saw the Prophet seize Ali from the hand and sermonize: “Praised and thanked be Allah.
O people! I am your master.” “You have said but the truth, Allah's Apostle!” they confirmed. The Prophet, then, raised Ali's hand and declared: “This is my successor. He shall be settling my debts. I am acceding to whomever accedes to him and opposing whomever opposes him.”102

Sa'd also relates: We were accompanying the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) who ordered people to halt as soon as we reached Ghadeer Khum. He ordered the crowds preceding him to come back and those retarding to catch him. As people gathered, he (peace be upon him and his family) sermonized: “O people! Who are your masters?” “Allah and His Apostle are.” they confirmed thrice. The Prophet, soon, took Ali from the hand and raised him and declared: “He whomever Allah and His Apostles were his masters, this — Ali — is being his master. O Allah! Accede to whom accedes to him, and oppose whom opposes him.”103
