Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ خَتَنًا لِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْكَ بِحَدِيثٍ فِي شَأْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مَعْشَرَ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فِيكُمْ مَا فِيكُمْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ مِنِّي بَأْسٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ كُنَّا بِالْجُحْفَةِ فَخَرْجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ
عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْنَا ظُهْرًا وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِعَضُدِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُخْبِرُكَ كَمَا سَمِعْتُ

English Translation
ʿAṭiyyah al-ʿAwfī narrated: I asked Zayd ibn Arqam and said, 'A son-in-law of mine narrated a ḥadīth from you regarding ʿAlī رضي الله تعالى عنه on the day of Ghadīr Khumm, and I would like to hear it from you directly.' He said: 'You people of Iraq — you have what you have (of tribulations).' I said, 'You have nothing to fear from me.' He said: 'Yes. We were at al-Juḥfah when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us at midday, holding the arm of ʿAlī رضي الله تعالى عنه. He said: O people, do you not know that I am closer to the believers than their own selves? They said: Yes. He said: Do you not know that I am closer to every believer than his own self? They said: Yes. He said: Whoever I am his master (mawlā), then ʿAlī is his master. O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him.' He said: Then ʿUmar رضي الله تعالى عنه met him and said: 'Congratulations to you, O son of Abū Ṭālib! You have become, morning and evening, the master of every believing man and woman.'
