'''Ḥajjat al-Widāʿ''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|حَجَّة الوِداع}}) was the only [[hajj]] journey of the [[Prophet (s)]] after [[Hijra]]. After Hijra, the Prophet (s) went to [[Mecca]] for [['Umra]] three times;<ref>al-Waqidi, ''al-Maghazi'', vol.3 p.1088</ref> but, according to historians and [[hadith]] scholars, he (s) only once attended hajj rituals and it was few months before he (s) passed away.<ref>al-Waqidi, ''al-Maghazi'', vol.3 p.1088-1089; al-Kulayni, ''al-Kafi'', vol.4 p.244</ref> Since, this hajj took place in the last year of his life, the Prophet (s) made farewell to people and it became known as Hajjat al-wida' (Hajj of Farewell). According to [[Shi'a]] beliefs, on return from this hajj, the Prophet (s) publicly announced the [[imamate]] and guardianship of [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] in [[Ghadir Khumm]], following the order of [[God]] and requested people's allegiance with Imam 'Ali (a); therefore, this hajj is very important for Shi'a. | '''Ḥajjat al-Widāʿ''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|حَجَّة الوِداع}}) was the only [[hajj]] journey of the [[Prophet (s)]] after [[Hijra]].

The prevalent statement in the sources is that forty thousands people were present in the Mecca during Hajjat al-Wida'. There are also other statements, like 70,000, 90,000, 100,000, 114,000, 120,000 and at most 130,000 people. But it seems that these numbers are exaggerated and not more than 50.000 people were present. Considering that most reports mentions that 40,000 were in Mecca in that time, it seems that this number is more acceptable. | The prevalent statement in the sources is that forty thousands people were present in the Mecca during Hajjat al-Wida'.
