Abstract
The examination and study ofIbnAbi al-Hadid's view about Ghadir and clear text on the succession of Imam Ali in his most significant work, the description of Nahj al-Balaghah is the "main issue" of this paper, which has been carried out in a descriptive and analytical method.The hypothesis of this study is that even though IbnAbi al-Hadid does not consider the Ghadir event as a clear text for the caliphate of Ali, he emphasizes its importance and mentions important examples of the celebration of Ghadir in his work, emphasizing the type of belief of the Imamiyah in those celebrations.Based on the findings of this study, IbnAbi al-HadidMu'tazili accepts the event of Ghadir and the praise of the Messenger of God (Prophet Mohammad) from Ali and even mentions the views of the Imamiyahscholars in the context of the text on the caliphate of ImamAli with his tolerance.He also mentions the prayers of the Prophet for Ali in Ghadir.In his work, he has also rejected the celebrations of Shias on the anniversary of GhadirKhum and its philosophy, a topic that was less discussed in non-Imamyah works before the Mongol invasion.He does not accept or interpret the narratives that are consideredclear text on the Imamate of Imam Ali.
