1 قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ علیه السلام: غُسْلُ الْأَعْیَادِ طَهُورٌ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ طَلَبَ الْحَوَائِجِ بَیْنَ یَدَیِ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ اتِّبَاعٌ لِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلی الله علیه و آله.

📚Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 81, p. 22

The Commander of the Faithful Ali (peace be upon him) said: The ghusl of the Eids is a purification and cleansing for a person who intends to ask for his needs in the presence of Allah, the Exalted and Glorified, and it is a following of the tradition of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)!

2 عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ اللَّيْثِيِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْداللَّه فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ ذَكَرَ فِيهِ فَضْلَ يَوْمِ الْغَدِيرِ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ فَإِذَا كَانَ صَبِيحَةُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ فِي صَدْرِ نَهَارِهِ

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said in a long hadith on the virtue of Eid al-Ghadir: When the morning of that day (i.e., the day of Eid al-Ghadir) comes, performing ghusl at the beginning of that day is obligatory!

3 عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعَبْدِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّادِقَ يَقُولُ صِيَامُ يَوْمِ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ يَعْدِلُ صِيَامَ عُمُرِ الدُّنْيَا لَوْ عَاشَ إِنْسَانٌ ثُمَّ صَامَ مَا عَمَرَتِ الدُّنْيَا لَكَانَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ ذَلِكَ وَ صِيَامُهُ يَعْدِلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مِائَةَ حَجَّةٍ وَ مِائَةَ عُمْرَةٍ مَبْرُورَاتٍ مُتَقَبَّلَاتٍ وَ هُوَ عِيدُ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ نَبِيّاً قَطُّ إِلَّا وَ تَعَيَّدَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ عَرَفَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ اسْمُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَوْمُ الْعَهْدِ الْمَعْهُودِ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَوْمُ الْمِيثَاقِ الْمَأْخُوذِ وَ الْجَمْعِ الْمَشْهُودِ مَنْ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَزُولَ مِقْدَارَ نِصْفِ سَاعَةٍ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ مَرَّةً وَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ عَدَلَتْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ حَجَّةٍ وَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ عُمْرَةٍ وَ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيّاً قَطُّ إِلَّا وَ تَعَيَّدَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ عَرَفَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ اسْمُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَوْمُ الْعَهْدِ الْمَعْهُودِ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَوْمُ الْمِيثَاقِ الْمَأْخُوذِ وَ الْجَمْعِ الْمَشْهُودِ مَنْ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَزُولَ مِقْدَارَ نِصْفِ سَاعَةٍ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ مَرَّةً وَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ عَدَلَتْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ حَجَّةٍ وَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ عُمْرَةٍ وَ مَا سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ حَوَائِجِ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قُضِيَتْ كَائِنَةً مَا كَانَتِ الْحَاجَةُ وَ إِنْ فَاتَتْكَ الرَّكْعَتَانِ وَ الدُّعَاءُ قَضَيْتَهُمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Fasting on Eid al-Ghadir is equivalent to fasting for the age of the world! If a human being lives and fasts for the age of the world, its reward is like fasting on Eid al-Ghadir, and fasting on it is equal to a hundred Hajj and a hundred accepted Umrah every year in the sight of Allah, and it is the great Eid of Allah whose name is glorious, and Allah did not send any prophet except that he took this day as an Eid and recognized its sanctity, and its name in the heavens is the 'Day of Covenanted' and on earth it is the 'Day of the Covenant' and 'the witnessed gathering,' and whoever prays two rak'ahs in it and performs ghusl half an hour before noon, and asks from Allah, the Exalted and Glorified, and in it he recites Surah al-Hamd and Surah al-Tawhid ten times, and Ayatul Kursi ten times, and Surah al-Qadr ten times, in each rak'ah, it is equal to a hundred thousand Hajj and a hundred thousand Umrah in the sight of Allah, the Exalted, and he does not ask for any need from the needs of this world and the needs of the hereafter, whatever it may be, except that He fulfills it for him, and if these two rak'ahs and the supplication after them are missed by you, you make them up later...!

✅The supplication after this prayer is mentioned, for example, in the book 📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 3, p. 144.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
