He established the first Muslim community there and, in his final Hajj, declared at Ghadir Khumm: “Whoever I am his master, Ali is his master.” In Shia tradition he passed away in Madinah on 28 Safar, 11 AH, and is buried in his house, now inside the Prophet’s Mosque.This section brings together articles on his life, character, sayings and the occasions connected with him.
