Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Hadith Al-Thaqalayn, the Deposed Will of the Last Prophet to Humanity Hadith Al-Thaqalayn: The Prophet At Ghadir Khumm (Part 3) ============================================================ The Prophet, sallallahu ‘alaihi wa alihi, conveyed Hadith al-Thaqalayn in different words to absolutely ensure that the message was not lost on his audiences.
At ‘Arafat, he declared: يا أيها الناس إني قد تركت فيكم ما إن أخذتم به لن تضلوا كتاب الله وعترتي أهل بيتي O mankind! I have left behind over you that which if you hold fast to it you will never go astray: the Book of Allah and my offspring, my . Later, at Ghadir Khumm, he again statements: أنا تارك فيكم ثقلين أولهما كتاب الله فيه الهدى والنور من استمسك به وأخذ به كان على الهدى ومن أخطأه ضل فخذوا بكتاب الله تعالى واستمسكوا به وأهل بيتي I am leaving behind over you Two Weighty Things (thaqalayn).
The first of them is the Book of Allah. In it there is guidance and light. Whoever adheres to it and holds fast to it, he will be upon guidance; and whosoever belittles it, he will go astray. So hold fast to the Book of Allah the Most High and adhere to it and my . Then, at that same Ghadir Khumm, he made some other pronouncements, which were clearly intended to drive home the point more forcefully. Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir (d.
774 H) affirms this in his Tafsir: و في الصحيح: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال في خطبته بغَدِير خُمّ: "إني تارك فيكم الثقلين: كتاب الله وعترتي، وإنهما لم يفترقا حتى يردا علي الحوض" In the sahih report, it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said in his sermon at Ghadir Khumm: “I am leaving behind over you the Two Weighty Things (al-thaqalayn): the Book of Allah and my offspring.
Verily, both shall never separate from each other until they meet me at the Lake-Fount.”[^1] Meanwhile, Imam al-Hakim (d.
403 H) has equally recorded this riwayah which identifies the main narrator of the hadith: حدثنا أبو بكر محمد بن الحسين بن مصلح الفقيه بالري ثنا محمد بن أيوب ثنا يحيى بن المغيرة السعدي ثنا جرير بن عبد الحميد عن الحسن بن عبد الله النخعي عن مسلم بن صبيح عن زيد بن أرقم رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إني تارك فيكم الثقلين كتاب الله وأهل بيتي وإنهما لن يتفرقا حتى يردا علي الحوض Abu Bakr Muhammad b. al-Husayn b.
