Tanzil / Saheeh International
What this record supports
Twelver exegetes apply this verse, which commands the Prophet to convey a decisive message, to the address at Khumm. Several Sunni reports also connect the verse with that occasion; other authorities date it differently. The verse is not itself a statement about succession.
Verse text served live from the app's verified corpus. The Ghadir connection is exegesis, not part of the verse.

Tanzil / Saheeh International
What this record supports
The verse of the perfection of religion. Some reports place its revelation at Ghadir, others at Arafa during the same pilgrimage. The dossier shows the dispute rather than choosing a date.
The occasion of revelation is disputed in both corpora; the verse itself is not.

What this record supports
States that the Prophet has greater claim (awla) over the believers than they have over themselves — the relation the address at Khumm asks the crowd to affirm, and the lexical basis of the Shia reading of mawla.
Verse text served live. Its use as the sermon's premise is reported, and is interpretation where it goes further.

What this record supports
The purification verse, cited in the two weighty things material for the standing of the Prophet's family. It belongs to the wider Ahl al-Bayt dossier and is not evidence for the Khumm address itself.
Verse served live; the scope of 'Ahl al-Bayt' here is a separate exegetical question.

The Mubahala verse, a cross-reference for how the Quran identifies the Prophet's family. Treated fully in its own dossier; listed here because both traditions read it when discussing the household.

Published assessment: Included in the Sahih by its compiler's standard; the compiler states no separate grade for it. — Sahih Muslim — the compiler's placement in his collection
What this record supports
That the sentence was spoken by the Prophet at Khumm before the assembled pilgrims, as reported by a companion. It does not by itself settle what mawla means.

Narrator: Reported from a small number of routes
The passage text is not yet recorded here; only its bibliographic reference is shown.
What this record supports
That some reports describe companions congratulating Ali after the address. It is presented as a report: its chains are discussed in both traditions, and it is not used here as proof of the address's meaning.
Contested record
The congratulation report's chains are weaker and disputed; recorded so the reader can see it in context, not as a conclusion.

What this record supports
That the address is transmitted in the earliest Shia hadith collection, within the book on the proof of God's authority.
The exact narration has not yet been pinned to its Thaqalayn record; until it is, the record points to the collection, not to a claimed narration number.

What this record supports
A late witness to an extended text of the sermon. Important for how the event is narrated in Shia literature, but not usable as evidence for the event's earliest wording.
