Ahadith on Ghadir
The Day of
Dedication and Prayers
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللٌّهِقَالَ: وَالْعَمَلُ
فِيهِ يَعْدِلُ ثَمَانِينَ شَهْراً، وَ يَنْبَغِي
أَنْ يُّكَـثِّرَ فِيهِ ذِكْرَ اللٌّهِ عَزَّ وَ
جَلَّ، وَالصَّلَوٌةَ عَلى النَّبِيِّوَيُوَسِّعَ
الرَّجُلُ فِيهِ عَلى عَيَالِهِ
It has been narrated from Abi 'Abdillah [Imam
Ja'far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon
him) that he said, “The worth of (good) actions
performed on this day (18th of Dhul Hijjah) is
equivalent to 80 months (of good deeds) and one
is advised to frequently remember Allah, the
Noble and Grand, and send prayers upon the
Prophet (blessings of Allah be upon him and his
family) and that a man be generous to his family
(by presenting them with gifts).”
The Day of Seeing
the Leader
عَنْ مَوْلاَنَا أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلِيَّ بْنِ
مُحَمَّدٍقَالَ لأََبِي إِسْحَاقٍ: وَ يَوْمُ
الْغَدِيرِ فِيهِ أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّأَخَاهُ
عَلِيًّا عَلَمًا لِلنَّاسِ وَ إِمَامًا مِنْ
بَعْدِهِ. [قَالَ] قُلْتُ: صَدَّقْتَ جُعِلْتُ
فِدَاكَ، لِذٌلِكَ قَصَدْتُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ
حُجَّةَ اللٌّهِ عَلى خَلْقِهِ
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوْسى الرِّضَا:مَنْ زَارَ
فِيهِ مُؤْمِناً أَدْخَلَ اللٌّهُ قَبْرَهُ
سَبْعِينَ نُوراً وَ وُسِّعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَ
يَزُورُ قَبْرَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ
مَلَكٍ وَيُبَشِّرُونَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ
Imam 'Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (peace be upon
him) has said, “Allah will grant a person who
visits a true believer on it (the Day of 'Eidul
Ghadir) seventy types of Divine Light in his
grave and will expand his grave. Every
day, 70,000 Angels will visit him in the grave
and they will grant him the glad tidings of
Paradise.”
The Day of Visiting
and Doing Good
قَالَ الصَّادِق:ُيَنْبَغِي لَكُمْ أَنْ
تَتَقَرَّبُوا إِلـى اللٌّهِ تَعَالـى بِالْبِرِّ
وَالصَّوْمِ وَالصَّلوٌةِ وَ صِلَةِ الْرَحْمِ وَ
صِلَةِ الإِخْوَانِ، فَاِنَّ الأَنْبِيَآءَ
عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ كَانُوا إِذَا أَقَامُوا
أَوْصِيَآءَهُمْ فَعَلُوا ذٌلِكَ وَ أَمَرُوا بِهِ
Imam as-Sadiq [Ja'far ibn Muhammad] (peace be
upon him) has said, “It is advisable for you (on
the day of Ghadir) to become close to Allah, the
Most High, through good deeds, fasting, prayers,
establishing (and maintaining) family ties and
establishing ties between (your) brothers.
The Prophets (peace be upon all of them) did the
same thing when they appointed their successors,
and also advised them to act similarly.”
Salat in Masjid
al-Ghadir
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللٌّهِقَالَ: إِنَّهُ
تُسْتَحَبُّ الصَّلوٌةُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْغَدِيرِ
لأََنَّ النَّبِيَّأَقَامَ فِيهِ أَمِيرَ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَوَ هُوَ مَوْضِعٌ أَظْهَرَ اللٌّهُ
عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ الْحَقَّ
It has been narrated from Abi 'Abdillah Imam
[Ja'far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon
him) that: “Surely it is recommended to pray
inside Masjid al-Ghadir since verily the Prophet
(blessings of Allah be upon him and his family)
introduced the Commander of the Faithful (peace
be upon him) [as the Imam] to the people here
and this is the spot in which Allah, the Noble
and Grand, made known The Truth.”
Salat on the Day of
Ghadir
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللٌّهِقَالَ: وَ مَنْ صَلَّى
فِيهِ رَكْعَتَينِ أَيَّ وَقْتٍ َشَآءَ وَ
أَفْضَلُهُ قُرْبَ الزَّوَالِ وَ هِيَ السَّاعَةُ
الَّتِي أُقِيمَ فِيهَا أَمِيـرُ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَبِغَدِيرِ خُمٍّ عَلَماً لِلنَّاسِ
وَ ... كَانَ كَمَنْ حَضَرَ ذٌلِكَ الْيَوْمَ...
It has been narrated from Abi 'Abdillah [Imam
Ja'far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon
him) that: “A person who performs a two Rak'at
Salat any time he wishes (during the Day of 18th
of Dhul Hijjah), though it is best that this
(Salat) be performed as close to the time of
Zawwal (mid-day when the sun begins its decline;
this is when the time for Salatul Zuhr beings)
as possible because this is the time at which
Amirul Mo'minin (peace be upon him) was
appointed at Ghadir Khumm as the flag of the
people and … (the reward for this Salat) is as
if the person had been present on the Day (of
Ghadir Khumm)…”
Fasting on the Day
of Ghadir
قَالَ الصَّادِقُ:صِيَامُ يَوْمِ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ
يَعْدِلُ صِيَامُ عُمْرِ الدُّنْيَا لَوْ عَاشَ
إِنْسَانٌ ثُمَّ صَامَ مَا عُمِرَتِ الدُّنْيَا
لَكَانَ لَهُ ثَوَابَ ذٌلِكَ
It has been narrated from as-Sadiq [Imam
Ja'far ibn Muhammad] (peace be upon him) that:
“Fasting on the Day of Ghadir is equivalent to
fasting the time span of the (existence of the)
entire world – meaning that if a person were to
live a life of the entire existence of the world
and were to fast this whole time, the reward for
this fasting would be equivalent to fasting
(this one day of Ghadir).”
The Day of
Congratulations and Smiling
عَنِ الرِّضَاقَالَ: ... وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ
الْتَهْنِئَةِ يُهَنِّئُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً،
فَإِذَا لقى الْمُؤْمِنُ أَخَاهُ يَقُولُ:
أَلْحَمْدُ لِلٌّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَنَا مِنَ
الْمُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِوِلاَيَةِ أَمِيـرِ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الأَئِمَّةِوَ هُوَ يَوْمُ
التَبَسُّمِ فِي وُجُوهِ النَّاسِ مِنْ أَهْلِ
الإِيْمَانِ...
