Eid-e-Ghadeer
Imām Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Sādiq (alayhi salām) said:
“It is advisable for you on the day of Ghadeer to become close to Allāh, the Most High, through good deeds, fasting, prayers, establishing (and maintaining) family ties and establishing ties between your brothers. The Prophets (peace be upon all of them) did the same thing when they appointed their successors, and also advised them to act
similarly.
Imām Alī ibn Mūsā al-Rezā (alayhi salām) said:
“Allāh will grant a person who visits a true believer on the Day of ‘Eid ul Ghadeer seventy types of Divine Light in his grave and will expand his grave. Every day, 70,000 Angels will visit him in the grave and they will grant him the glad tidings of Paradise.”
The narrator asked Imām al-Sādiq (alayhi salām)“Is there any other Eid for Muslims except the two Eids and Friday?”
Imām Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Sādiq (alayhi salām) replied:
“Yes, here is an Eid greater than them; the day when Amirul Momineen (alayhi salām) was appointed as caliph and the Holy Prophet (salla llāhu ʿalayhi wa-alehe wa-sallam) had made his love compulsory on believing men and women at Ghadeer-e-Khum. A good deed performed on this day is equal to the deeds of eighty months. Muslims should remember Allāh in excess on this day and recite Durood and Salaam on the Holy Prophet (salla llāhu ʿalayhi wa-alehe wa-sallam) many times and give more for the expenses of his family members.”
