Ghadir in the View of Zaidiyyah; A Case Study of Al-Mansour Bellah's Views in Anwar al-Yaqin

Imam Al-Mansour Bellah Hassan Ibn Badruddin presented the subject of Ghadir's hadith in the book Anwar al-Yaqin fi Imamat Amir al- Mu'minin in a methodical and innovative way, and as he himself stated, he has discussed Ghadir in three main areas: The certainty of the event and the correctness of Ghadir's hadith; Its implication on the Imamate of Amir al-Mu'minin; The existence of a number of doubts and objections raised by opponents of Shiite perceptions and responding to them. The author's method is based on each of these three areas, and logically, several sub-areas are proposed. In this paper, the author discusses the subject of Ghadir hadith as an Imami scholar, and his view and interpretation of the event and hadith of Ghadir is like that of the Imamiyah. He has considered the hadith consistent and definite, proved its frequency by referring to various sources and narrations of numerous Zaidi Shiites and Sunnis, and argued the meaning of the hadith on the Imamate of Hazrat Amir al-Mu'minin from various aspects.
