Ghadir Khumm — "Jis ka Main Maula, Us ka Ali Maula" (Tirmidhi 3713)

Do Shehron ke Darmiyan Aik Parao

18 Zil-Hijjah, san 10 Hijri — Eesvi hisaab se March 632. Rasool Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) apni zindagi ke wahid Hajj, Hajjatul Wida, se wapas tashreef la rahe hain. Daswon hazar haji saath rawan hain. Raaste ke taqreeban wast mein, maqam-e-Juhfa ke qareeb — jahan se Madinah, Misr, Shaam aur Iraq ke qaflay alag alag raah lete thay — pani ka aik talaab hai jise Ghadir Khumm yani "Khumm ka talaab" kaha jata hai. Dopahar ki garmi mein hukm milta hai: ruk jao. Jo aagay nikal chuke thay unhein wapas bulaya jata hai, jo peechay reh gaye thay un ka intezar hota hai. Kajawon se aik buland jagah banai jati hai. Nabi (SAW) apne chacha zaad bhai aur damaad Ali bin Abi Talib (RA) ka haath thaam kar buland farmate hain taake sab dekh lein, aur aik mukhtasar jumla irshad farmate hain.

Chaudah sadiyan guzar gayin, aur wohi aik jumla Islam ki do sab se bari jamaaton ke darmiyan ain khat-e-fasil par khara hai. Aik jamaat is din ko apni sab se bari eidon mein ginti hai aur is jumlay mein Ali (RA) ki janasheeni ka elan parhti hai. Doosri jamaat bhi yehi jumla riwayat karti hai, jis hasti ki shan mein hai un se mohabbat rakhti hai — magar is mein koi taqarrur nahin parhti. Alfaz aik. Qiratein do. Tareekhein do.
