At this moment...

At this moment, he raised Ali's hand so high that everybody could recognize Ali and realize that the event of that day was related to Ali. Everybody was eager to listen to the Prophet. The Prophet: O people! Who is the worthiest individual among the believers? The Prophet's followers: God and His apostle know better. The Prophet: God is my superior and I am the believers superior. I am worthier than they are. O people!

“ من كنت مولاه فعليٌّ مولاه ” “Anybody who recognizes me as his superior should recognize Ali as his superior”. This sentence was repeated three times. [^1] Then the Prophet said: O God! Love anybody who loves Ali and show your hatred towards Ali's foes. O God! Assist Ali's friends and let Ali's enemies be wretched! O God! Let Ali be the pivot of righteousness. The Prophet added: You must urgently inform the absent ones of this event.

The glorious crowd at Ghadir had not yet spread when the revelation angel joyfully informed the Prophet that God had completed the Prophet's mission and he was content that Islam was completed that day[^2]. At this moment, the Prophet said “Allah is great. I am glad that God completed His religion today, He completed His assets on us, and He became content with my prophethood and with Ali being my successor”. The Prophet descended from the high altitude.

His friends and followers congratulated Ali, calling him their superior and every believer's superior. At this moment, Hasan Ibn Sabet, the Prophet's poet, rose and recited this historic event in a piece of poetry, making it immortal. We will present here only the translation of two verses. The Prophet told Ali: Rise since I have appointed you as the people's leader and guide after me. [^3] Anybody who accepts me as his superior should accept Ali as his superior. O people!

It is compulsory for you to be Ali's genuine friends. [^4] What we have presented here is a glimpse of the Ghadir Event, which is recorded in the Sunnite documents as well as in numerous shiite's records. Tabarsi, in his book, Ehtejaj, records the Prophet's sermon in its entirety. Interested readers may refer to that book. [^5] Ghadir's Event is Eternal God has decided that the historical event of Ghadir shall be an eternal event.

The Islamic writers could talk about it in their interpretations, narrations and history books, the religious speakers could discuss it in their sermons and could count the Imam's undeniable virtues.
