Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Brother of the : Imam ‘Ali Hadith Al-Thaqalain (The Two Valuables) =========================================== Many of the Hadiths of Al-Thaqalain (the Two Valuables) have been already put in front of the reader (in the second chapter and other places in this book) To make it easy for the reader it would be proper to repeat what I have recorded of these hadiths before and add to them others of their kind.

Imam Abu Easa Ibn Easa Al-Thermathi in his authentic Sunan recorded that Jabir Ibn Abdullah (Al-Ansari) reported: "I witnessed the Messenger of God in his pilgrimage (in the tenth year after the Hijrah) speaking while he was riding his camel called: Al-Qaswa.

I heard him saying: 'O people I have left in you that which if you adhere to you will never go astray: The Book of God and the members of my House.'"[^1] Ibn Jareer Ibn Asim Al-Mahamili in his Amali and Ibn Rahawaih recorded that ‘Ali reported that the Messenger of God said: "Whoever God and His Messenger are his "Mawla" (Guardian) this ‘Ali is his Mawla.

I have left in you what if you adhere to you will never go astray: the Book of God His robe in His hand and in your hands and the members of my House."[^2] Al-Tirmidhi recorded that Zayd Ibn Arqam reported that the Messenger of God said: "I am leaving in you what if you follow you will never stray after me. One of them is bigger than the other. The Book of God a robe extended from Heaven to earth and the members of my House.

They will never part with each other until they join me at the basin (on the Day of Judgment). Beware how you shall treat them after me."[^3] Al-Tirmidhi said: "There are hadiths on this subject by Abu Dharr Abu Sa-eed Zayd Ibn Arqam and Huthaifah Ibn Oseid..."[^4] Al-Hakim recorded that Zayd Ibn Arqam reported: "When the Messenger of God was coming from the Valedictory Pilgrimage he stood at Ghadir Khum... and said: I am about to be summoned (by God) and I will respond (to His call).

I am leaving in you the Two Valuables: One of them is bigger than the other: the Book of God and the members of my House. Beware how you shall treat them after me for they shall not part from each other until they join me at the basin (on the Day of Judgment)..."[^5] Al-Hakim recorded also that Zayd Ibn Arqam said that the Prophet said on that day: "O people I am leaving in you two elements if you follow you shall not go astray.
