IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroduction

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

<èŽ‚{{ÿu<ÿ°{{ŽÃÿeł…ş_<ê{{{ŽjĆÚ₣_<î{{{×{ÿÂ<şÀ{{ŽËÿu<łà{{ÿÚ<<Ží{{ÿÚ^ÿéŽÏĞÖ]<ÿÝłç{{ÿè<₣#]<Łäÿn{{{ÿÃÿe<^{{ÿãŽe<ÿáçŁÃŽËÿjłß{{{ÿè<^⁄nğ̂Û{ŽÖ^ÿÂ<ğ̂ãéŽÏşÊJ< <

“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.htmhttp://www.hawzah.net/Per/K/Qadir/Qadir.htmhttp://www.hawzah.net/Per/K/Qadir/Qadir.htmhttp://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 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:

� �� ! ��" ��#�� $�% �&�'�(�) �*�� +��,�-�! ��. / �"0�� /�� '�1 *�� 2�� 3�... �

“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)

I

10

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.”

11

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:

�� )5��6�� . ��0�� $�� . “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.

12

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;

13

• 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

14

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.

15

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.”

16

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.

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¢).”
