Musnad Ahmad 961 (Book 5, Hadith 386) #34612
The Declaration of 'Ali's Mawla on Ghadir Khumm

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declaring 'Ali (RA) as his mawla (friend and supporter) on the day of Ghadir Khumm, and twelve men who were at Badr standing up to testify that they heard him say it.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila said: l saw 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) in ar-Rahbah, adjuring the people, (saying): I adjure by Allah anyone who heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the day of Ghadir Khumm:'If I am a person's mawla (friend and supporter) then 'Ali is also his mawla", to stand up and testify'.Abdur-Rahman said: And twelve men who had been at Badr stood up. It is as if I can see one of them. And they said: We bear witness that we heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the day of Ghadir Khumm; 'Am I not closer to the believers than their own selves and my wives are their mothers?' We said: Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: 'If I am a person's mawla (friend and supporter) then 'Ali is also his mawla; O Allah, take as friends those who take him as a friend, and take as enemies those who take him as an enemy".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ يَنْشُدُ النَّاسَ أَنْشُدُ اللَّهَ مَنْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ لَمَّا قَامَ فَشَهِدَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَامَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ بَدْرِيًّا كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمْ فَقَالُوا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّا سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِي أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ فَقُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of Ghadir Khumm, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declared that if he was a person's mawla, then Ali was also their mawla. Twelve men who had been at Badr stood up to testify that they heard him say this. Mawla means friend and supporter, so this declaration meant that Ali was a close friend and supporter of all believers in Islam. This declaration showed how much love and respect Prophet Muhammad had for Ali, which is why it is still remembered today as an important event in Islamic history.
