Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Sermon of (p.b.u.h) At Ghadir Khumm The Sermon of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh&hf) On the Day of Ghadir Khum Imam al-Baqir (PBUH) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) intended to leave Medina to perform pilgrimage having already conveyed all the commandments to his community except for the pilgrimage and the guardianship (of the nation) (al- Walaya). Thus, Gabriel (PBUH) came to him saying, “O Muhammad!

Surely, Allah, majestic is His name, offers peace to you, and tells you, ‘Verily, I have not taken the soul of any of my prophets or messengers except after completing My religion and affirming My proof.1 Of the commandments, two obligatory duties still remain which you need to convey to your nation: namely, (the details of) the duty of performing pilgrimage, and the duty of (people in) acknowledging the guardianship (of the believers) and following your successor after you.

Certainly, I have never left nor shall I ever leave My earth empty of a proof.’ 1 “The proof of Allah” (Hujjat Allah) is one whom Allah has placed among His creation as His most evident sign in his time, who completes His arguments against people by His authority. Therefore, Allah, majestic is His praise, commands you to perform pilgrimage along with everyone who is capable of attending from the dwellers of the cities and suburbs as well as the Bedouins.

Teach them the pilgrimage as you taught them the prayers, the purification tax, and fasting. Make them aware of its (details) as you made them aware of other religious obligations.” Thus, the announcer of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) informed people that he (PBUH&HF) intended to go on pilgrimage and to teach them this religious obligation.
