When the Messenger of Allah (Blessings be upon him and his Ahlul-Bayt) declared the holy command of Allah to announce the Wilayah* of our Master Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him), at the Valley of Ghadir Khom, on the 18th day of Zhul-Hijjah, upon their return from the Farewell Hajj, Hadrat Hassaan ibn Tha
bit (Allah be pleased with him) requested the Prophet (Blessings be upon him) to say some poetry for this great happy occasion. The holy Prophet (Blessings be upon him) approved his request.
Hassaan bin Thabit (Allah be pleased with him), then said:
On The Day of Ghadir, their Prophet called upon them all,
Such a great caller is the Messenger to be heard and obeyed!
He said: "Who is your Mawla** and your Prophet?"
And they said without any hesitation:
Your God is our Mawla and you are our Mawla Prophet
And you will not find us disobedient in the Wilayah to you
He then said: "Rise O Ali, I am satisfied to make you the Imam and Guide after me"
"And whoever I am their Mawla, Ali is also their Mawla, so be faithful followers to him"
There, the Prophet prayed: "O God, be the Ally of Ali's allies and friends, and be a foe to his foes!"
