1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الصَّلاةِ فِي مَسْجِدِ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ بِالنَّهَارِ وَأَنَا مُسَافِرٌ فَقَالَ صَلِّ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ فَضْلاً وَقَدْ كَانَ أَبِي يَأْمُرُ بِذَلِكَ.

1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about performing salat (prayer) in Masjid of Ghadir Khum during the day while I am on a journey. He (the Imam) said, ‘Perform salat (prayer) therein; it is a virtuous thing to do. My father commanded to do so/”

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ حَسَّانَ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ حَمَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الْغَدِيرِ نَظَرَ إِلَى مَيْسَرَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ مَوْضِعُ قَدَمِ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) حَيْثُ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاهُ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الآخَرِ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ مَوْضِعُ فُسْطَاطِ أَبِي فُلانٍ وَفُلانٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْجَرَّاحِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَوْهُ رَافِعاً يَدَيْهِ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَيْنَيْهِ تَدُورُ كَأَنَّهُمَا عَيْنَا مَجْنُونٍ فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ وَإِنْ يَكادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ وَما هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْرٌ لِلْعالَمِينَ.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn form al-Hajjal from ‘Abd al-Samad ibn Bashir from Hassan al- Jammal who has said the following: “I once provided transportation for abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, from al-Madinah to Makkah. When we arrived at Masjid of al-Ghadir Khum, he looked to the left side of the Masjid and said this. ‘That is the place where the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, set foot when he (the Messenger of Allah) said, “On whoever I have Divine Authority, Ali also has Divine Authority.” He then looked to the other side and said, ‘That is the place for the tent of abu so and so and Salim Mawla’ abu Hudhayfah and abu ‘Ubayda al-Jarrah, who on seeing him raising his hands, said to each other, “Look at his eyes turning like the eyes of an insane person.” Jibril at this time came with this verse of the Holy Quran, “The disbelievers almost make you slip up, by their piercing eyes when they hear (passages) of the Quran and say that he is an insane person. It (Quran) is not anything other than good advice from the Lord of the worlds.”’ (54:50-51) ”

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ يُسْتَحَبُّ الصَّلاةُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْغَدِيرِ لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَقَامَ فِيهِ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَهُوَ مَوْضِعٌ أَظْهَرَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ الْحَقَّ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Aban who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that it is preferable to perform salat (prayer) in the Masjid of al-Ghadir. The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, declared there ’Amir al-Mu’minin to be the executor of his will. It is the place where Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, made the truth public.”
