Our series on Ghadir proved and established the declaration of Imam Ali’s (as) authority over the Ummah. However, some miscellaneous objections to this understanding were not mentioned. Below we shall cover some of the popular objections, which are as follows: - Why didn’t the Prophet ﷺ declare Ghadeer on ‘Arafah? - Is Hadith Ghadeer an ambiguous designation (Nass Khafi)? - Did al-Hasan al-Muthana reject Ghadeer’s interpretation? - Why did the Sahaba Ignore Ghadeer?

After examining the background of Hadith al-Ghadeer, it's context and refuting the connection between it and the Yemen expedition, we are left with our other major objection: How did the Sahaba understand Ghadeer Khum? Did all of them manage to misinterpret it? The answer is no, they did understand the meaning of Ghadeer and this is highlighted by the fact that they all congraluated Imam Ali (as) for this...

It further does not in any way link to the context that we went over in the previous article, where we found how the Prophet (saw) narrated this near the end of

As the event of Ghadeer Khumm is steadily approaching us (June 14th), we have decided to dedicate a short series examining the Hadith and approach the main arguments that concern this event. This series shall be split up into four parts: Authenticity, interpretation, objections and views of the Sahaba. We hope by the end of this series, our readers will attain a better understanding of the one of the most important sermons that the Holy Prophet (saw) offered for the Ummah.
