Short history of Ghadir mosque

The three-day ceremony on that land with the presence of the Holy Prophet, Hazrat Ali, Fatemeh, Hasan and Hussein (P.B.U.H) had its effect. It imparted such a life and spirit to that place that in the length of fourteen centuries it became popular as "The Prophet's mosque in Ghadir" and millions of pilgrims to and from Ka'ba visited this sacred place and worshipped at that site seeking closeness to Allah.
The Ahlul Bait strictly recommended their followers not to neglect to visit the Ghadir mosque. Imam Husain (P.B.U.H) had made a stop at this site on his way from Mecca to Karbala.

Imam Baqir and Imam Sadiq (P.B.U.H) visited this mosque and explained to their followers every position of the Ghadir ceremony. Eminent scholars and traditionists too used to visit Ghadir to pay their respects. Ali Bin Mahziyar Ahwazi belonging to the 3rd century A.H., on his journey to pilgrimage visited the mosque of Ghadir. From the writings of Shaikh Toosi (from the sixth century AH.), Ibn Hamzah (from the seventh century AH.), and Shahid Awwal and Alammah Hilli (from the eighth century) we can read about the Ghadir mosque and the fact that signs of this mosque had remained intact during their times.

In the year 1250 A.H. (1830 A.D.) Syed Kazemi had informed about the presence of this mosque saying that even though Ghadir was far away from the roadside, this mosque was famous. In 1300 A.H. (1880 A.D.), Mohadeth Nouri informed about the existence of the Ghadir mosque and he personally visited and performed rites in it.
