حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا، ، يُونُسُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا، فِي الرَّحَبَةِ يَنْشُدُ النَّاسَ: أَنْشُدُ اللهَ مَنْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ: " مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ " لَمَّا قَامَ فَشَهِدَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: فَقَامَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ بَدْرِيًّا، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: نَشْهَدُ أَنَّا سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ: " أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَأَزْوَاجِي أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ؟ " فَقُلْنَا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ، اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ، وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ " (١)،

It was narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila said:
l saw ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) in ar-Rahbah, adjuring the people, (saying): I adjure by Allah anyone who heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say on the day of Ghadeer Khumm:`If I am a person`s mowla (friend and supporter) then ‘Ali is also his mawla”, to stand up and testify. ‘Abdur-Rahman said: And twelve men who had been at Badr stood up. It is as if I can see one of them. And they said: We bear witness that we heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say on the day of Ghadeer Khumm; `Am I not closer to the believers than their own selves and my wives are their mothers?` We said: Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: `If I am a person`s mawla (friend and supporter) then `Ali is also his mawla; O Allah, take as friends those who take him as a friend, and take as enemies those who take him as an enemy.”
