After performing [[Zuhr prayer]], the Prophet (s) made a speech which became famous as Ghadir Sermon. In that speech, the Prophet (s) said, "Praise belongs only to God and we ask Him for help and we believe in Him and take refuge to Him from the evil of our selves and ugliness of our actions… God, the Merciful and All-Knower informed me that I will be called (to Him) soon and I will submit to (His call)… I will come to the [[pond of Kawthar]] before you do and you come to me beside it; so beware about how you treat [[Thiqlayn]] [two great things]; [[al-Thiql al-Akbar]], the greater one is the [[al-Qur'an|Book of God]] and the other is [[Ahl al-Bayt|my household]]." | After performing [[Zuhr prayer]], the Prophet (s) made a speech which became famous as Ghadir Sermon.
