Masjid of Ghadir Khum

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ يُسْتَحَبُّ الصَّلاةُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْغَدِيرِ لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَقَامَ فِيهِ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَهُوَ مَوْضِعٌ أَظْهَرَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ الْحَقَّ.
3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Aban who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that it is preferable to perform salat (prayer) in the Masjid of al-Ghadir. The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, declared there ’Amir al-Mu’minin to be the executor of his will. It is the place where Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, made the truth public.”
