He -saww went out with them on five (days) remaining from Zul-Qadah and communicated with Amir Al-Momineen -asws with heading to Al-Hajj from Al-Yemen. And Amir Al-Momineen -asws came out with the ones from the soldiers with him -asws , those who had accompanied him -asws to Al-Yemen, and with him -asws were the garments which he -asws had taken from the people of Najran.

When Rasool-Allah -saww came near Makkah from the road of Al-Madinah, Amir Al-Momineen -asws came near it from the road of Al-Yemen, and forwarded the army for meeting the Prophet -saww and made a man from them to be in charge upon them.

And when Rasool-Allah -saww had fulfilled his -saww rituals, he -saww participated Ali -asws in his -saww offering and returned to Al-Madinah and he -asws was with him -saww and the Muslims until he ‑saww ended up to the famous place at Ghadeer e Khum, and there wasn’t any place there which was correct for the encampment due to the lack of water and the pasture therein.

He ‑saww descended in the place and the Muslims descended with him -saww , and the reason for his -saww descent in this place was the Revelation of the Quran unto him -saww with his -saww nomination of Amir Al-Momineen Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws as a Caliph in the community from after him -saww .

And the Revelation had preceded to him -saww regarding that from another timing to him, but he -saww delayed it (announcement) for the presenting of the time he -saww felt safe in it of the differing from them upon it, and Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Knew that if he -saww crossed over Ghadeer e Khum, a lot of the people would separate from him -saww to go to their cities and their dwelling and their valleys.

Therefore, Allah -azwj Wanted that he -saww gathered them to hear the text upon Amir Al-Momineen -asws and an emphasis of the argument/proof upon them regarding him -asws (an extract).
