On the way back to Medina, prophet Muhammad saww ordered his companions to stop at Ghadir Khum and delivered a sermon of which, a brief version is quoted below, O people, Allah the Most Kind the Omniscient has told me that no apostle lives to more than half the age of him who had preceded him. I think I am about to be called (to die) and thus I must respond. I am responsible and you are responsible, then what do you say? They said, We witness that you have informed, advised and striven. May Allah bless you. He said, Do you not bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Apostle, and that His Heaven is true, His Hell is true, death is true, the Resurrection after death is true, that there is no doubt that the Day of Judgment will come, and that Allah will resurrect the dead from their graves? They said, Yes, we bear witness. He said, O Allah, bear witness. Then he said, O people, Allah is my Lord and I am the lord of the believers. I am worthier of believers than themselves. Of whomsoever I had been Master (Mawla), Ali here is to be his Master. O Allah, be a supporter of whoever supports him (Ali a.s) and an enemy of whoever opposes him and divert the Haq to Ali a.s. Eid-e-gadeer mubarak..
