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 , 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.”
