'''Ḥajjat al-Widāʿ''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|حَجَّة الوِداع}}) was the only [[hajj]] journey of the [[Prophet (s)]] after [[Hijra]] that occurred in [[10]]/632. 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}}; meaning: farewell Hajj) was the only [[hajj]] journey of the [[Prophet (s)]] after [[Hijra]] that occurred in [[10]]/632.
