Musnad Ahmad 641 (Book 5, Hadith 77) #34303
The Declaration of 'Ali as Mawla

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declaring 'Ali as his mawla, or one who has the right to inherit from him.

It was narrated that Zadhan Abu 'Umar said: I heard 'Ali in Ar-Rahbah, when he was adjuring the people and asking who had been present with the Messenger of Allah on the day of Ghadir Khumm. when he said what he said. Thirteen men stood up and testified that they had heard the Messenger of Allah say; "If I am a person's mawla", 'Ali is also his mawla'. (The word mawla refers to the one who manumits a slave, who has the right to inherit from the ex-slave. Changing one's mawla means giving the right of inheritance to the new mawla)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، فِي الرَّحْبَةِ وَهُوَ يَنْشُدُ النَّاسَ مَنْ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ فَقَامَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ‏.‏
