Allegiance of Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) in Khadir Khom

The allegiance Of Umar with Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) in Khadir Khom
After the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) selected Amir Momenan ( peace be upon him) as his caliph and successor and announced it to the public, He ordered people to swear allegiance with Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and to congratulate him his new rank. According to narrations with valid document in the Sunni books, the second caliph was one of persons that came to Amir Al-Momenin (peace be upon him) and congratulated him his new rank.
Ghazali, the famous scientist of the sixth century, has written about congratulating the second caliph and his promise, but he forgot it after few days
واجمع الجماهير على متن الحديث من خطبته في يوم عيد يزحم باتفاق الجميع وهو يقول: « من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه » فقال عمر بخ بخ يا أبا الحسن لقد أصبحت مولاي ومولى كل مولى فهذا تسليم ورضى وتحكيم ثم بعد هذا غلب الهوى تحب الرياسة وحمل عمود الخلافة وعقود النبوة وخفقان الهوى في قعقعة الرايات واشتباك ازدحام الخيول وفتح الأمصار وسقاهم كأس الهوى فعادوا إلى الخلاف الأول: فنبذوه وراء ظهورهم واشتروا به ثمناً قليلا.
One of sermons of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) is the sermon of Khadir Khom and all of the Muslims agree unanimously about its content. The messenger of God said '' Ali is the master and the guardian of everyone that I used to be''. After the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) stated such remarks, he congratulated Amir Momenin (peace be upon him) in this way '' O' Abu Al-Hassan! Congratulation! Congratulation! You are my master and leader and other persons''. This remark of Umar demonstrates that he succumbed against the order of the prophet and the Imamate and the leadership of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and he was satisfied of the selection of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) as the leader of the nation. After days passed, Umar was influenced by his desires and his interest for headship and leadership. Hence, he changed caliphate from its main position and he made discord among the people of the nation and created grounds for ignorant period with leading troops, raising flags and surrounding other realms. In addition, such remark came true
(فنبذوه وراء ظهورهم واشتروا به ثمناً قليلا).
They broke their allegiance, but they gained little thing in return and how bad they traded.
A lot of narrations in the Sunni books prove the remark of Ghazalei. We will mention two narrations along with the correction of its document.
The first narration: the narration of Bara Bin Azeb
Ahmad Bin Hanbel and a lot of Sunni dignitaries have narrated the story of allegiance with the second caliph
حدثنا عبد اللَّهِ حدثني أبي ثنا عَفَّانُ ثنا حَمَّادُ بن سَلَمَةَ أنا عَلِىُّ بن زَيْدٍ عن عَدِىِّ بن ثَابِتٍ (وأبي هارون العبدي) عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بن عَازِبٍ قال كنا مع رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم في سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلْنَا بِغَدِيرِ خُمٍّ فنودي فِينَا الصَّلاَةُ جَامِعَةٌ وَكُسِحَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَحْتَ شَجَرَتَيْنِ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ علي رضي الله عنه فقال أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ انى أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ من أَنْفُسِهِمْ قالوا بَلَى قال أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ انى أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ من نَفْسِهِ قالوا بَلَى قال فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِىٍّ فقال من كنت مَوْلاَهُ فعلي مَوْلاَهُ اللهم وَالِ من ولاه وَعَادِ من عَادَاهُ قال فَلَقِيَهُ عُمَرُ بَعْدَ ذلك فقال له هنياء يا بن أبي طَالِبٍ أَصْبَحْتَ وَأَمْسَيْتَ مولى كل مُؤْمِنٍ وَمُؤْمِنَةٍ
Bara Bin Azeb says '' we were with the messenger of God in Hajj Al-Veda. After they cleaned under trees, the order of fulfilling the group prayer was issued. Then the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) took the hand of Ali and put it in his right side and said '' amn't I better than the believers to themselves?'' they said '' yes''. He said '' aren't my wives your mothers?'' they said '' yes''. He said '' Ali is a leader and I am his leader''. O' God! Love anyone that loves Ali and be enemy with everyone that is the enemy of Ali''. Umar said '' Congratulations to Ali! Now you are my master and leader and all of the believers.
After narrating and explaining this narration, Mola Harevi says
(رواه أحمد) أي في مسنده، وأقل مرتبته أن يكون حسنا فلا التفات لمن قدح في ثبوت هذا الحديث
Ahmad has narrated this narration in the book '' Mosnad''. The least degree of this narration is '' Good''. Hence, the remark of persons that have found faults in this narration does not have worth paying attention.
Analyzing the document of the narration
Efan Bin Mosalam Bin Abdullah Al-Baheli (died in 219 A.H.):
He is one of narrators Sahih Bokhari, Moslm, Abu Davud, Al-Termezi, Al-Nasaee and Ibn Maje.
Hemad Bin Salame (died in 167 A.H.):
He is one of narrators Sahih Bokhari, Moslm, Abu Davud, Al-Termezi, Al-Nasaee and Ibn Maje.
Ali Bin Zeid Bin Jodan (died in 131 A.H.):
He is one of narrators Sahih Moslm, other Sehah Sete and Bokhari in the book '' Adab Al-Mofrad''.
An Edi Bin Sabet (died in 116 A.H.):
He is one of narrators Sahih Bokhari, Moslm, Abu Davud, Al-Termezi, Al-Nasaee and Ibn Maje.

Abi Harun Al-Abdi (died in 134 A.H.):

He is one of narrators Sahih Bokhari, Moslm, Abu Davud, Al-Termezi, Al-Nasaee and Ibn Maje.

According to the rules of the Sunni scientists, the reliability and the fairness of a person that has narrated narrations in Sahih Bokhari and Moslm is certain as Ibn Hajar Asghalani has written in the book '' Fath Al-Bani''

وقد نقل بن دقيق العيد عن بن المفضل وكان شيخ والده انه كان يقول فيمن خرج له في الصحيحين هذا جاز القنطرة.

Ibn Daghigh Al-Eid narrates a Hadith from Ibn Mafzal that was the master of his father and he said '' a person that follows the way of the narrators of Bokhari has passed the bridge.

Al-Asghalani Al-Shafei, Ahmad Ben Ali Ben Hajar Abu Al-Fazl (died in 852 hejira), Fatah Al-Bari Sharh Sahih Al-Bokhari, v 13, p 457, Researched by: Moheb Al-Din Al-Khatib, Published by: Dar Al-Marefat, Beirut

Ibn Teimie Harrani has said bout Sahih Bokhari and Moslm

ولكن جمهور متون الصحيحين متفق عليها بين أئمة الحديث تلقوها بالقبول وأجمعوا عليها وهم يعلمون علما قطعيا أن النبى قالها.

The content of Sahih Bokhari and Moslem is accepted among the leaders of Hadith and all agree unanimously that definitely, Hadiths available in these two books are from the messenger of God.

Al-Horani, Ahmad Ben Abd Al-Halim Ben Teimiye Abu Al-Abbas (died in 728 hejira), Ghaedat Jalilat Fi Al-Tavasol Al-Vasilat, v 1 p 87, Published by: Al-Maktab Al-Eslami, Beirut, Researched by: Zahir Al-Shavish, 1390 hejira- 1970

The correction of Al-Bani

The document of the mentioned Hadith is the same as the narration of Ibn Maje Ghazvini (from Hemad Bin Salame to Bara Bin Azeb) about Khadir that Muhammad Naser Al-Bani has corrected it in the book '' Al-Selsele Al-Sahihe''.

Rk: Ibn Maje Al-Ghazvini, Muhammad Ben Yazid (died in 275 hejira), Sonan Ibn Maje, v 1 p 43, hadith 116, chapter Fazle Aliya Ben Abi taleb Raziollah Anho, Researched by: Muhammad Foad Abd Al-Baghi, Published by: Dar Al-Fekr, Beirut
Al-Albani, Muhammad Naser, Sahih Ibn Maje, v 1 p 26, hadith 113, according to the software of Al-Maktabat Al-Shamelat

Some Sunni scientists have claimed

وهذا ضعيف فقد نصوا أن على بن زيد وأبا هرون وموسى ضعفاء لايعتمد على روايتهم وفى السند أيضا أبو إسحق وهو شيعى مردود الرواية.

This narration is weak and scientists have said clearly that Ali Bin Zeid and Aba Harun are weak and we cannot trust their narrations. There is Abu Ishagh in the document of the narration and he is Shiite and his narration is false.

Al-Alusi Al-Baghdadi Al-Hanafi, Abu Al-Fazl Shahab Al-Din Al-Seyed Mahmud Ben Abdullah (died in 1270 hejira), Ruh Al-Maani Fi Tafsir Al-Quran Al-Azim Al-Sabaa Al-Mathani, v 6 p 194, Published by: Dar Ehya Al-Torath Al-Arabi, Beirut

Consequently, this claim has no basis; otherwise, we should ignore a lot of narrations of Bokhari and Moslem and other Sunni Sehah Sete.

The distortion of the narration of Ibn Maje and Abd Al-Razagh

Ibn Kasir Dameshghi Selfi narrates this narration in this way

وقال عبد الرزاق: أنا معمر عن علي بن زيد بن جدعان، عن عدي بن ثابت، عن البراء بن عازب قال: خرجنا مع رسول الله حتى نزلنا غدير خم بعث مناديا ينادي، فلما اجتمعا قال: " ألست أولى بكم من أنفسكم؟ قلنا: بلى يا رسول الله ! قال: ألست أولى بكم من أمهاتكم؟ قلنا: بلى يا رسول الله قال: ألست أولى بكم من آبائكم؟ قلنا: بلى يا رسول الله ! قال: ألست ألست ألست؟ قلنا: بلى يا رسول الله قال: من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه اللهم وال من والاه وعاد من عاداه " فقال عمر بن الخطاب: هنيئا لك يا ابن أبي طالب أصبحت اليوم ولي كل مؤمن.
وكذا رواه ابن ماجة من حديث حماد بن سلمة عن علي بن زيد وأبي هارون العبدي عن عدي بن ثابت عن البراء به. وهكذا رواه موسى بن عثمان الحضرمي عن أبي إسحاق عن البراء به. وقد روي هذا الحديث عن سعد وطلحة بن عبيد الله وجابر بن عبد الله وله طرق عنه وأبي سعيد الخدري وحبشي بن جنادة وجرير بن عبد الله وعمر بن الخطاب وأبي هريرة.

Bara Bin Azeb says '' my messenger of God and I left there until we arrived Khadir Khom. The messenger of God sent a person to call me. When the people thronged, the prophet said '' amn't I better than the Muslims to themselves? '' They said '' yes''. He said '' amn't I better than your mothers before you?'' they said '' yes, O' the prophet of God!''. The prophet said '' amn't I better than your fathers in your opinion?'' they said '' O' the messenger of God! It is right''. The prophet said '' amn't I better than them? amn't I better than them?'' they said '' yes, O' the messenger of God''. Then the prophet said '' Ali will be the master of every one that I used to be''. O' God! Love every one that loves Ali and be enemy with every one that is his enemy''. Then Umar said '' O' Ali! Congratulations to you. Now you are my master and leader and all of the Muslims''. Ibn Maje has narrated this narration from Hemad Bin Salame and he has narrated it from Ali Bin Zeid and he has narrated it from Abi Harun Abdi has narrated it Edi Bin Sabet and he has narrated it from Bara. This Hadith has several ways from Sad (Bin Abi Vaghas), Talhe Bin Ubeidullah and Jaber Bin Abdullah. It has been narrated by Abi Saeid Khodri, Habashi Bin Jonade, Jarir Bin Abdullah, Umar Bin Khatab and Abi Harire.

Jalal Al-Din Siuti has narrated this narration from Ibn Maje

وأخرج أحمد، وابن ماجه عن البراء بن عازب قال: (كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم في سفر فنزلنا بغدير خم فنودي فينا الصلاة جامعة فصلى الظهر وأخذ بيد علي فقال... فلقيه عمر بعد ذلك فقال له:
(هنيئاً لك يا ابن أبي طالب أصبحت وأمسيت مولى كل مؤمن ومؤمنة).

Al-Siuti, Jalal Al-Din Abd Al-Rahman Ben Abibakr (died in 911 hejira), Al-Havi lel Fetavi Fi Al-Feghh va Olum Al-Tafsir Al-Hadith Al-Osul Al-Nahv Al-Arab va Saer Al-Fonun, v 1 p 78, Researched by: Abd Al-Latif Hasan Abd Al-Rahman, Published by: Dar Al-Kotob Al-Elmie, Beirut, First Edition, 1421 hejira- 2000

Unfortunately, the sentence

« فَلَقِيَهُ عُمَرُ بَعْدَ ذلك فقال له هنياء يا بن أبي طَالِبٍ أَصْبَحْتَ وَأَمْسَيْتَ مولى كل مُؤْمِنٍ وَمُؤْمِنَةٍ»
has not been said in current copies of the book '' Sonan '' of Ibn Maje and it has been omitted.
After narrating this narration, Zahabi has said
ورواه عبد الرزاق، عن معمر، عن علي بن زيد
We did not find this narration in the book '' Mosnef'' of Abd Al-Razagh. Of course, Abd Al-Razagh may have narrated it in another book and Ibn Kasir and Zahabi have narrated it.
