The lesson
- Leaving Ali in charge of Medina when he marched to Tabuk in 9 AH, he told him: You are to me as Aaron was to Moses, except that there is no prophet after me (Tarikh-i Tahlili-yi Islam of Shahidi). This Hadith al-Manzila is also recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
- He took Imam Ali, Sayyida Fatima, Imam al-Hasan and Imam al-Husayn, and no one else, to the Mubahala with the Christians of Najran (3:61) (al-Irshad of al-Shaykh al-Mufid; Tafsir-i Nimuna).
- Returning from his last Hajj in 10 AH, at Ghadir Khumm, by God's command, he raised the hand of Ali before the gathered pilgrims and said: For whomever I am the master, Ali is his master. O God, befriend whoever befriends him and be the enemy of whoever is his enemy (Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal; Ansab al-Ashraf of al-Baladhuri). He enjoined his community to hold fast to the Qur'an and his Ahl al-Bayt.
