16 عن عطية العوفي...

16 عن عطية العوفي، قال: سألت زيد بن أرقم رضي الله عنه، فقلت له: أن ختنا لي حدثني عنك بحديث في شأن علي رضي الله عنه يوم غدير خم، فانا أحب أن أسمعه منك، فقال: إنكم معشر أهل العراق فيكم ما فيكم، فقلت له: ليس عليك منى بأس، فقال: نعم، كنا بالجحفة، فخرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم إلينا ظهرا وهو آخذ بعضد علي رضي الله عنه، فقال: يا أيها الناس! ألستم تعلمون أنى أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم؟ قالوا: بلى. قال: فمن كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه. قال: فقلت له: هل قال: اللهم!

وال من والاه، وعاد من عاداه؟ قال: إنما أخبرك كما سمعت. “It is narrated by ‘Atiyyah al-‘Awfī. He says: I asked Zayd bin Arqam (RA): I have a son-in-law who relates a hadīth in praise of ‘Alī (RA) based on your narration on the day of Ghadīr Khum. I want to hear it (directly) from you. Zayd bin Arqam (RA) said: you are a native of Iraq. May you persist in your habits! So I said: you will not receive any torture from me.

(At this) he said: we were at the spot of Juhfah that at the time of zuhr (noon prayer) the Prophet (SAW), holding ‘Alī’s hand, came out. He said: O people! Don’t you know that I am even nearer than the lives of the believers? They said: why not! Then he said: one who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master. ‘Atiyyah said: I inquired further: Did he also say this: O Allāh! Be his friend who befriends him (‘Alī) and be his enemy who is his enemy?

Zayd ibn Arqam said: I have told you all that I had heard.”[16] Hadīth No. 17 عن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما، قال: كنا بالجحفة بغدير خم، إذا خرج علينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، فأخذ بيد علي رضي الله عنه، فقال: من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه. “It is narrated by Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh رضي الله عنهما)) that when we were at Ghadīr Khum in Juhfah, the Messenger of Allāh (SAW) came out, then, holding ‘Alī’s hand, he said: One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master.” [17] Hadīth No.

18 عن علي أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قام بحفرة الشجرة بخم، وهو آخذ بيد علي رضي الله عنه، فقال: أيها الناس! ألستم تشهدون أن الله ربكم؟ قالوا: بلى. قال: ألستم تشهدون أن الله ورسوله أولى بكم من أنفسكم؟ قالوا: بلى، وأن الله ورسوله مولاكم؟ قالوا: بلى. قال: فمن كنت مولاه فإن هذا مولاه. “It is narrated by ‘Alī that the Holy Prophet (SAW) was standing under a tree at Khum and he was holding ‘Alī’s hand. He said: O people!

Don’t you bear witness that Allāh (SWT) and His Messenger (SAW) are even nearer than your lives? They said: Why not! (Then he added: Don’t you bear witness) that Allāh (SWT) and His Messenger are your masters. They said: Why not!
