Gadir Khumm

On 10 March 632 CE (18th of Dhu’l-Hijjah of 10 AH) the caravan of Muhammad arriving from his farewell hajj stopped at Ghadir Khumm, along with a group of Muslims returning to Madinah with him. It was an area where people from varying provinces used to greet each other before taking different routes home.[22] On giving a speech to the Muslims there, Muhammad said:

“O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to Allah’s call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. [23].”

Although its authenticity is disputed,[24] some of Sunni and all of Shi’a recources report that Muhammad then proclaimed:

“For whoever I am a Mawla of, then ‘Ali is his Mawla[24][22].”

This statement is seen by Sunnis as a recommendation of Ali’s good qualities and a refutation to prevailing rumours about him, although Shia see it as a confirmation of Ali’s succession to Muhammad and Imamah[citation needed].
