This introduction was according to divine command in [[al-Tabligh Verse]] which was revealed a little earlier than [[Dhu l-Hijja 18]], [[10]]/March 19, 632 commanding the Prophet (s) to communicate to people whatever has been revealed to him and if he does not, it is as if he has not fulfilled his mission. Subsequently, [[al-Ikmal Verse]] was revealed saying: "Today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My blessing upon you, and I have approved Islam as your religion."

The [[Infallibles (a)]] have referred to [[al-Ghadir Sermon]] and many poets -from the time of Imam Ali (a) onward- have composed poems about this event. Among the most prominent works about the Event of Ghadir and al-Ghadir Sermon is ''[[Al-Ghadir fi l-kitab wa l-sunna wa l-adab (book)|al-Ghadir fi l-kitab wa l-sunna wa l-adab]]'' by [[al-'Allama al-Amini]]. The Prophet (s) and other infallibles (a) have called this day "Eid" (Holy Day) and Muslims, especially the Shi'a, celebrate it. (See [[Eid al-Ghadir]])
