Eve of Ghadir

Sayyed ibn Tawus reports the following supplication in Iqbal Amaal for the Night of Ghadir:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنَا إِلَى سَبِيلِ طَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ وَصِيِّهِ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ

allahumma innaka da-‘awtana ila sabeeli ta’atika wa ta’ati nabiyyika wa wasiyyihi wa ‘itratihi
O” my God! You invited us to the path of obeying You, Your Prophet, his Trustee and his household

دُعَاءً لَهُ نُورٌ وَ ضِيَاءٌ وَ بَهْجَةٌ وَ اسْتِنَارٌ

du’aa-an lahu noorun wad hiya-un wa bahjatun wa-stinaar
– an invitation filled with light, illumination, joy and brightness.

فَدَعَانَا نَبِيُّكَ لِوَصِيِّهِ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ

fa-da’aana nabiyyuka liwasiyyihi yawma ghadeeri khummin
Then Your Prophet of Mercy invited us to follow his Trustee (Imam Ali) on the Day of Ghadir Khum

فَوَفَّقْتَنَا لِلْإِصَابَةِ وَ سَدَّدْتَنَا لِلْإِجَابَةِ لِدُعَائِهِ

fa-waffaqtana lilisaabati wa saddad-tana lil ijaabati li-du’aaihi
and You granted us success in choosing the correct path and helped us accept his invitation.

فَأَنَبْنَا إِلَيْكَ بِالْإِنَابَةِ وَ أَسْلَمْنَا لِنَبِيِّكَ قُلُوبَنَا

fa-anaba ilayka bil-inaabati wa aslamna linabiyyika quloobana
Thus we turned back to You and submitted our hearts to Your Prophet,

وَ لِوَصِيِّهِ نُفُوسَنَا وَ لِمَا دَعَوْتَنَا إِلَيْهِ عُقُولَنَا فَتَمَّ لَنَا نُورُكَ

wa liwasiyyihi nufoosana wa lima da-‘awtana ilayhi ‘uqoolana fatamma lana nooruka
and our souls to his Trustee and our intellects to what You invited us to.

يَا هَادِيَ الْمُضِلِّينَ فَتَمَّ لَنَا نُورُكَ

ya hadi-yal mudhilleena fatamma lana nooruka
O’ Guider of the deviated! Please perfect Your Light for us.

أَخْرِجِ الْبُغْضَ وَ الْمُنْكَرَ وَ الْغُلُوَّ لِأَمِينِكَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ مِنْ قُلُوبِنَا وَ نُفُوسِنَا وَ أَلْسِنَتِنَا وَ هُمُومِنَا

akhrijil bughdha wal munkara wal ghuluwwa li-ameenika ameeril momineena wal aimmati min wuldihi min quloobina wa nufoosina wa alsinatina wa humoomina
Please take away from our hearts, souls and tongues and thoughts any hatred, denial or flattery for Your Trusted One – the Commander of the Faithful Ali, and the father of the rest of the Divine Leaders

وَ زِدْنَا مِنْ مُوَالاتِهِ وَ مَحَبَّتِهِ وَ مَوَدَّتِهِ لَهُ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ زِيَادَاتٍ لَا انْقِطَاعَ لَهَا وَ مُدَّةً لَا تَنَاهِيَ لَهَا

wa zidna min muwaalatihi wa mahabbatihi wa mawaddatihi lahu wal aimmati mim ba’dihi ziyaadaatin lan-qitaa’a laha wa muddatan la tanaahiya lahaa
Please increase our friendship, love, and affection for him and the Divine Leaders after him such that there is no cessation or end for it.

وَ اجْعَلْنَا نُعَادِي لِوَلِيِّكَ مَنْ نَاصَبَهُ وَ نُوَالِي مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ وَ نَأْمُلُ بِذَلِكَ طَاعَتَكَ

waj’alnaa nu’aadee liwaliyyika man nasabahu wa nuwaali man ahabbahu wa namulu bi-dhaalika taa-‘atak
Please let us be enemies of his enemies and friends with his friends with our sole intention of this being Your Obedience.

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

ya arhamar-rahimeen
O’ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَذَابَكَ وَ سَخَطَكَ عَلَى مَنْ نَاصَبَ وَلِيَّكَ وَ جَاحَدَ [وَ جَحَدَ] إِمَامَتَهُ وَ أَنْكَرَ وَلَايَتَهُ

allahumma-j’al ‘adhabaka wa sakhataka ‘alaa man naasaba waliyyaka wa jaahada (wa jahada) imaamatahu wa ankara walaayatahu
O’ my God! Please place Your Punishment and Wrath on whoever is the enemy of Your Friend, denies his Divine Leadership

وَ قَدَّمْتَهُ أَيَّامَ فِتْنَتِكَ فِي كُلِّ عَصْرٍ وَ زَمَانٍ وَ أَوَانٍ

wa qaddamtahu ayyama fitnatika fi kulli ‘asrin wa zamaanin wa awaanin
rejects his Mastery whom You have reserved for the periods of sedition in all periods, times and eras

إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

innaka ‘alaa kulli shayin qadeer
as indeed You have Power over all things.

اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِكَ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَلِيِّكَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ حُجَجِكَ

allahumma bihaqqi muhammadin rasoolika wa ‘aliyyin waliyyika wal aimmati mim ba’dihi hujajika
O’ my God! I ask You for the sake of Your Prophet Muhammad and Your Friend Ali and Your Proofs – the Divine Leaders after him

فَأَثْبِتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ وَ مُوَالاةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ مُعَادَاةِ أَعْدَائِكَ

fa-athbit qalbi ‘alaa deenika wa muwaalaati awliyaaika wa mu’aadati a’adaaika
to establish my heart firmly on Your Religion and the love of Your Friends, and hatred of Your enemies

مَعَ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ

ma’a khayrid-dunya wal aakhira
along with the good of this world and the Hereafter

تَجْمَعُهُمَا لِي وَ لِأَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ إِخْوَانِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏

tama’uhuma li wa li ahli wa wuldi wa ikhwaaniyal momineen
for me, my wife, children and Muslim brethren

إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

innaka ‘alaa kulli shayin qadeer
as indeed You have Power over all things.

Shaikh Abbas Qummi in his Mafatih also quotes Sayyid Ibn Tawus, in al-Iqbal, as saying that a prayer of twelve units with one Taslim statement (i.e. continuous and uninterrupted prayer) should be recited on the Night of Ghadir. However, he has not provided any hadith for reference (and usually a mustahab salat is only 2 Raka). However, if recited, it may be recited with the intention of 'Rija'.

In each of the first 11 units recite Sura Fatiha once, Sura Ikhlaas 10 times and Ayatul Kursi once. In the 12th unit recite Sura Fatiha and Sura Ikhlaas 7 times each.

Then recite in Qunoot:

لَا اِلَهَ اِلَّا االلهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَريكَ لَه ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْد ، يُحْيِى وَيُمِيت وَيُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِى ، وَهُوَ حَىٌّ لَا يَمُوت بِيَدِهِ الْخَير وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَئٍ قَدِير

There is no God but God. He is One and there are no partners for Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and Praise belongs to Him. He gives life and causes to die, and He causes to die and He gives life. And He is the Everlasting for Whom there is no death and in His Power is the goodness and He has Power over all things.

Then bow down, then prostrate and say the following ten times in prostration:

سُبْحَانَ مَن اَحْصَى كُلُّ شَئٍ عِلْمُه ، سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَنْبَغِى التَّسْبِيحَ اِلَّا لَهُ ، سُبْحَانَ ذِى الْمَنِّ وَالنِّعَم ، سُبْحَانَ ذِى الْفَضْلِ وَالطَّوْل ، سُبْحَانَ ذِى الْعِزَّةِ وَالْكَرَم . اَسْأَلُكَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِك ، وَمُنْتَهَى الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِك ، وَبِالْاِسْمِ الْاَعْظَم وَكَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَة اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ رَسولِكَ وَاَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِين وَاَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِى كَذَا كَذَا ، اِنَّكَ سَمِيعٌ مُجِيب

Glory be to Him whose Knowledge encompasses everything. Glory be to Him that glorifications befit none but Him. Glory be to the Lord of Favors and Blessings. Glory be to the Lord of Nobility and Bestowals. Glory be to the Lord of Honor and Generosity. I ask You by the juncture of the Might of Your Throne, and the Ultimate Mercy from Your Book. And I ask You by Your Grand Name. and by Your Perfect Words, that You bestow Your Blessings on Your Messenger Muhammad and his Progeny – the Purified, and do such and such things for me. Verily You are the All Hearing, the Responder!

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْأُولَى وَ رَبِّ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ

2 Raka' Salaah followed by Supplication for Ghadir Day

Offer a two unit salat at any time but preferrably near the time of noon for it was at that hour that the event of Ghadeer took place.

In the first Rakat recite Sura Qadr after Sura Fatihah and in the second Rakat recite Sura Ikhlaas after Sura Fatiha

(It is reported that those who perform this observance recieve the reward of someone who had been present on the day of Ghadeer with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be on him and his family) and sworn allegiance to him, as regards to the divinely commissioned leadership (wilayah) of Imam `Ali (peace be upon him).

After accomplishment, one should prostrate oneself and thank Almighty Allah one hundred times. Then say the following supplication:

2 Raka' Salaah Half-Hour before Noon on Ghadir Day

It is recommended to bathe oneself and offer a two unit prayer half an hour before midday. At each unit, one should recite Surah al-Fatihah once, Surah al-Tawhid ten times, Ayah al-Kursi ten times, and Surah al-Qadr ten times.

The reward of practicing this act is equal, in the sight of Almighty Allah, to the rewards of one hundred thousand times of Hajj and one hundred thousand times of `Umrah. Almighty Allah will also grant all the worldly and religious needs of the performer with easiness and good health.

After completion of the prayer it is preferable to recite the following dua:

رَبَّنا إِنَّنا سَمِعْنا مُنادِياً يُنادِي لِلْإِيمانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا

Our Lord! we have heard the call of one calling (Us) to Faith, 'Believe ye in the Lord,' and we have believed.

رَبَّنا فَاغْفِرْ لَنا ذُنُوبَنا وَ كَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئاتِنا وَ تَوَفَّنا مَعَ الْأَبْرارِ

Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, blot out from us our iniquities, and take to Yourself our souls in the company of the righteous

رَبَّنا وَ آتِنا ما وَعَدْتَنا عَلى‌ رُسُلِكَ وَ لا تُخْزِنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ

Our Lord! Grant us what You didst promise unto us through Your apostles, and save us from shame on the Day of Judgment: For You never break Your promise.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ وَ كَفَى بِكَ شَهِيداً

O' my God! I take You as witness. You suffice as a witness for me

وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَ سُكَّانَ سَمَاوَاتِكَ وَ أَرْضِكَ

I take Your angels, the carriers of Your Throne, the controllers of Your heavens and earth as witnesses

بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَعْبُودُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْ لَدُنْ عَرْشِكَ إِلَى قَرَارِ أَرْضِكَ‌

that You are God and there are no Gods but You

مَعْبُودٌ يُعْبَدُ سِوَاكَ إِلَّا بَاطِلٌ مُضْمَحِلٌّ غَيْرَ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ

You are the one besides whose Noble Face none is worshipped!

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَعْبُودُ لَا مَعْبُودَ سِوَاكَ تَعَالَيْتَ عَمَّا يَقُولُ الظَّالِمُونَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً

There is no God but You! O' He who is Worshipped and there is no one else to worship but You. You are Sublime and You are high indeed are You exalted above what the evil-doers say! "Exalted and Great (beyond measure)!"

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ

And I bear witness that Muhammad is Your Servant and Your Prophet.

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ وَلِيُّهُمْ وَ مَوْلَاهُمْ وَ مَوْلَايَ

I witness that Ali is the Commander of the Faithful. He is their friend, and master and he is my master.

رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا النِّدَاءَ وَ صَدَّقْنَا الْمُنَادِيَ رَسُولَكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

O' our Lord! We heard the call and acknowledge the caller who is Your Prophet (God's blessings be upon him and his family).

إِذْ نَادَى نِدَاءً عَنْكَ بِالَّذِي أَمَرْتَهُ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ عَنْكَ مَا أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مُوَالاةِ وَلِيِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

He called based on Your Order and declared the mastery of the Commander of the Faithful.

وَ حَذَّرْتُهُ وَ أَنْذَرْتَهُ إِنْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ أَنْ تَسْخَطَ عَلَيْهِ

about which You had admonished him that You would be angry with him if he does not deliver this message

وَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا بَلَّغَ رِسَالَتَكَ [رِسَالاتِكَ‌] عَصَمْتَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَنَادَى مُبَلِّغاً وَحْيَكَ وَ رِسَالاتِكَ

and that You will protect him from the people if he does. So he delivered this message and declared,

أَلَا مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ وَ مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ وَلِيُّهُ وَ مَنْ كُنْتُ نَبِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُهُ

"Whoever I am the Master of, Ali is the Master of. Whoever I am the Guardian of, Ali is the Guardian of! Whoever I am the Prophet of, Ali is the Commander of!"

رَبَّنَا قَدْ أَجَبْنَا دَاعِيَكَ النَّذِيرَ الْمُنْذِرَ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدَكَ الَّذِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ

O our Lord! We positively respond to the call of Muhammad - the conveyor of good tidings, the warner, Your servant whom You blessed

وَ جَعَلْتَهُ مَثَلًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

and established as an example for the Children of Israel

رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا وَ اتَّبَعْنَا مَوْلَانَا وَ وَلِيَّنَا وَ هَادِيَنَا وَ دَاعِيَنَا وَ دَاعِيَ الْأَنَامِ

O' our Lord! We believe and follow our master, our guardian, our guide, the one who invites us and invites the people

وَ صِرَاطَكَ السَّوِيَّ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ وَ مَحَجَّتَكَ الْبَيْضَاءَ وَ سَبِيلَكَ الدَّاعِيَ إِلَيْكَ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ هُوَ وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ

and in Your Straight Path, Your Bright Path through which he and his followers call us to You

وَ سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ‌ بِوَلَايَتِهِ وَ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ بِاتِّخَاذِ الْوَلَائِجِ مِنْ دُونِهِ

Exalted is Allah far above the things they associate with Him! Some doubt his Mastery and Order of their Lord by finding associates other than him

فَاشْهَدْ يَا إِلَهِي أَنَّ الْإِمَامَ الْهَادِيَ الْمُرْشِدَ الرَّشِيدَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O' my God! Please bear witness that Ali ibn Abi Talib (God's blessing be upon him) is the Divine Leader – the guide, the guider and the guided

الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ قُلْتَ‌ وَ إِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتابِ لَدَيْنا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ‌

about whom You said the following in Your Book, "And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in Our Presence, high (in dignity), full of wisdom."

O' my God! We bear witness that he is Your Guiding Servant after Your Prophet – the conveyor of good tidings, the warner, the right path

وَ إِمَامُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ وَ حُجَّتُكَ الْبَالِغَةُ وَ لِسَانُكَ الْمُعَبِّرُ عَنْكَ فِي خَلْقِكَ

and the Divine Leader of the believers, leader of those with white-foreheads, Your Clear Proof, Your Speaking Tongue to the people on Your Behalf

وَ الْقَائِمُ بِالْقِسْطِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ دَيَّانُ دِينِكَ وَ خَازِنُ عِلْمِكَ وَ عَيْبَةُ وَحْيِكَ

one standing firm on justice after Your Prophet who propagates Your Religion, the Treasure of Your Knowledge, the seat of Your Revelations

witnessing to and sincere in his belief of Your Oneness. For You are God, There is no God but You

وَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ وَ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ جَعَلْتَ الْإِقْرَارَ بِوَلَايَتِهِ تَمَامَ تَوْحِيدِكَ

Muhammad is Your Servant and Prophet. And Ali is the Commander of the Faithful. You established confessing to His Mastery as the perfection of belief in Your Oneness

وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ لَكَ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ إِكْمَالَ دِينِكَ وَ تَمَامَ نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ

and sincerity for you and the completion of Your Religion and the perfection of Your Blessings for all Your creatures

فَقُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُ‌ الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَ أَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَ رَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلامَ‌ دِيناً

You said the following and whatever you say is right. "This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."

فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا مَنَنْتَ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْإِخْلَاصِ لَكَ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ

Praise belongs to You for Your Favor upon us in sincere utterance of Your Oneness

وَ جُدْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِمُوَالاةِ وَلِيِّكَ الْهَادِي مِنْ بَعْدِ نَبِيِّكَ النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ

and the Mastery of Your Friend upon us after Your Prophet - the one who gives good tidings, the one who warns

وَ رَضِيتَ لَنَا الْإِسْلَامَ دِيناً بِمَوْلَانَا وَ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ بِالَّذِي جَدَّدْتَ لَنَا عَهْدَكَ وَ مِيثَاقَكَ وَ ذَكَّرْتَنَا ذَلِكَ

You were pleased with Islam as our Religion due to our master, and perfected Your Blessings with the renewal of Your Promise and Covenant, and its reminder

وَ جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ لِعَهْدِكَ وَ مِيثَاقِكَ وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْوَفَاءِ بِذَلِكَ

and do not let us be amongst the deserters and those who refute the Day of Judgment

وَ لَمْ تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُغَيِّرِينَ وَ الْمُبَدِّلِينَ وَ الْمُنْحَرِفِينَ [وَ الْمُحَرِّفِينَ‌] وَ الْمُبَتِّكِينَ آذَانَ الْأَنْعَامِ

Do not place us amongst those who change and manipulate things, who cut the ears of the animals,

وَ الْمُغَيِّرِينَ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ وَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ‌ اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطانُ فَأَنْساهُمْ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ‌ وَ صَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَ الصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

change Gods Creation who have been overcome by Satan, have forgotten Gods Remembrance and have deviated from the Right Path.

Then repeat many times:

اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْجَاحِدِينَ وَ النَّاكِثِينَ وَ الْمُغَيِّرِينَ وَ الْمُبَدِّلِينَ وَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ‌ الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ‌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ

O' my God! Please damn those who deny God, the deserters, the ones who change, the liars and those who refute - those who lie about the Resurrection Day from the first and the last generations.

Then say:

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيْنَا بِالَّذِي هَدَيْتَنَا إِلَى مُوَالاةِ وُلَاةِ أَمْرِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِ نَبِيِّكَ

and the guiding Divine Leaders whom You established as the pillars of the profession of Your Unity, signs of true guidance, pillars of virtue, the most trustworthy strong-holds

وَ كَمَالَ دِينِكَ وَ تَمَامَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ مَنْ بِهِمْ وَ بِمُوَالاتِهِمْ رَضِيتَ لَنَا الْإِسْلَامَ دِيناً

the perfection of Your Religion, the completion of Your Blessings, those by whom and through whose Mastery You chose Islam as our religion.

رَبَّنَا فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ آمَنَّا بِكَ وَ صَدَّقْنَا نَبِيَّكَ الرَّسُولَ النَّذِيرَ الْمُنْذِرَ

O' our Lord! Praise belongs to You. We believe in You and we certify Your Prophet – the Messenger, the one who gives good tidings, the one who warns.

O' my God! O' Truthful in promise! O' He who never breaks His Promise.

يَا مَنْ هُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي شَأْنٍ أَنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ بِمُوَالاةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمَسْئُولِ عَنْهُمْ عِبَادُكَ

O' He who shines in Splendour every day! It was You who completed Your Blessings for us by the Mastery of Your Friends - those to whom Your Servants are responsible,

فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ‌ ثُمَّ لَتُسْئَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ‌ وَ قُلْتَ‌ وَ قِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْؤُلُونَ‌

since You have said, "Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!)." and said, "But stop them, for they must be asked:"

وَ مَنَنْتَ بِشَهَادَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ لَكَ بِوَلَايَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْهُدَاةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ السِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيرِ

You Favoured with sincere testimony to the Mastery of Your Friends who are the ones who give good tidings, the ones who warn, and the luminous lanterns.

وَ أَكْمَلْتَ لَنَا الدِّينَ بِمُوَالاتِهِمْ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا النِّعَمَ بِالَّذِي جَدَّدْتَ لَنَا عَهْدَكَ

You perfected the Religion by their Mastery and disowning their enemies.

وَ ذَكَّرْتَنَا مِيثَاقَكَ الْمَأْخُوذَ مِنَّا فِي ابْتِدَاءِ [مُبْتَدَإِ] خَلْقِكَ إِيَّانَا

You perfected the Blessings for us by renewing their Covenant and by reminding us of our testimony in the beginning of Creation.

Greeting Brothers in Faith

It is recommended to congratulate the brethren-in-faith on this day by saying:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُتَمَسِّكِينَ

alhamdu lillahi alladhi ja`alana min almutamassikina
Praise be to Allah Who has blessed us to be among those who cling and hold

بِوِلاَيَةِ امِيرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلائِمَّةِ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّلاَمُ

biwilayati amiri almu'minina wal'a'immati `alayhim alssalamu
to the divinely commissioned leadership and authority of Amir al- Mu'minin and all the Imams, peace be upon them all.

It is also recommended to say the following:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي اكْرَمَنَا بِهٰذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ

alhamdu lillahi alladhi akramana bihadha alyawmi
All praise be to Allah Who has honored us with this day

وَجَعَلَنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُوفِينَ بِعَهْدِهِ إِلَيْنَا

wa ja`alana min almufina bi`ahdihi ilayna
and included us with those who have fulfilled their promise to Him

وَميثَاقِهِ ٱلَّذِي وَاثَقَنَا بِهِ

wa mithaqihi alladhi wathaqana bihi
and their covenant made with Him;

مِنْ وِلاَيَةِ وُلاَةِ امْرِهِ

min wilayati wulati amrihi
that is the loyalty to His representatives

وَٱلْقَوَّامِ بِقِسْطِهِ

walquwwami biqistihi
and the establishers of His justice.

وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْجَاحِدينَ

wa lam yaj`alna min aljahidina
He has not made us of the deniers

وَٱلْمُكَذِّبينَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينَ

walmukadhdhibina biyawmi alddini
and rejecters of the Judgment Day.

The merit of the Eid al-Ghadir Day is too great to be cited. On this day, the deeds of the Shi`ah are admitted and their grievances are relieved. On this day, Prophet Moses (`a) overcame the sorcerers, the fire in which Prophet Abraham (`a) was thrown was made by Almighty Allah comfort and peace, Prophet Moses (`a) appointed Yushua ibn Nun as his successor, Prophet Solomon (`a) declared openly before his people that Asif ibn Barkhiya would be his successor, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his famiy) united as brothers his companions; therefore, the believers are advised to form brotherhood with each other on this day.

This fraternization, as is quoted by Shaykh al-Nuri in Mustadrak al-Wasa'il from the book of Zad al-Firdaws, can be practiced by putting the right hand on the brother-in-faith’s right hand and saying the following:

آخَيْتُكَ فِي ٱللَّهِ

akhaytuka fillahi
I declare my brotherhood with you for the sake of Allah,

وَصَافَيْتُكَ فِي ٱللَّهِ

wa safaytuka fillahi
I establish friendly terms with you for the sake of Allah,

وَصَافَحْتُكَ فِي ٱللَّهِ

wa safahtuka fillahi
I shake hands with you for the sake of Allah,

وَعَاهَدْتُ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلاَئِكَتَهُ

wa `ahadtu allaha wa mala'ikatahu
I promise Allah, His angels,

وَكُتُبَهُ وَرُسُلَهُ

wa kutubahu wa rusulahu
His Books, His Messengers,

وَانْبِيَاءَهُ وَٱلائِمَّةَ ٱلْمَعْصُومِينَ

wa anbiya'ahu wala'immata alma`sumina
His Prophets, and the Infallible Imams,

عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّلاَمُ

`alayhim alssalamu
peace be upon them,

عَلَىٰ انِّي إِنْ كُنْتُ مِنْ اهْلِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَٱلشَّفَاعَةِ

`ala anni in kuntu min ahli aljannati walshshafa`ati
that if I will be an inhabitant of Paradise, allowed to intercede for others,

وَاذِنَ لِي بِانْ ادْخُلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ

wa udhina li bi'an adkhula aljannata
and if I will be allowed Paradise,

لاَ ادْخُلُهَا إِلاَّ وَانْتَ مَعِي

la adkhuluha illa wa anta ma`i
I will not enter it unless you accompany me therein.

The other party should then agree by saying;

قَبِلْتُ

qabilt(u)
I agree

Then, the first party says;

اسْقَطْتُ عَنْكَ جَمِيعَ حُقُوقِ ٱلاخُوَّةِ

asqattu `anka jami`a huquqi al'ukhuwwati
I thus release you from all the duties of fraternity

مَا خَلاَ ٱلشَّفَاعَةَ وَٱلدُّعَاءَ وَٱلزِّيَارَةَ

ma khala alshshafa`ata walddu`a'a walzziyarata
except intercession, supplication, and visiting the tombs of the Infallibles.

Similar to this form, al-Muhaddith al-Fayd, in his book of Khulasat al-Adhkar, has mentioned a form of fraternization adding that the other party, or his representative, may accept the fraternization by uttering any statement entailing agreement. Then, each party releases the other from the duties of fraternity except supplication and visiting the tombs of the Infallibles.
