According to hadiths, the Prophet (s) gathered people in Ghadir Khum, raised 'Ali's (a) hand so that everyone sees and asked, "O people! Do I not have wilaya [guardianship] over you more than you have over yourself?" People answered, "Yes, O Prophet (s)!" Then, the Prophet (s) said, "God is my wali [guardian] and I am wali of the believers; and I have wilaya over them more than they have over themselves. So anyone, I am his wali, 'Ali (a) is his wali." Then, the Prophet (s) repeated it three times and said, "O God! Befriend and be the wali of anyone who loves 'Ali (a) and considers him as his wali; be the enemy of anyone who is his enemy; and assist anyone who assists him and abandon anyone who abandons him." He (s) then told people, "Those who are present, convey this message to those who are absent." | According to hadiths, the Prophet (s) gathered people in Ghadir Khum, raised 'Ali's (a) hand so that everyone sees and asked, "O people!
