Al Ghadir (, i.e., "The Ghadir in the Book, the Sunnah, and Literature") is a 20-volume book written by the Iranian Shia scholar Abd Al Husayn Amini. His research included source material from libraries in India, Iraq, Pakistan, Morocco, Egypt, and other countries.
The book describes and discusses the Hadith of the pond of Khumm according to Sunni documents. Amini gathers the narrations of the event from 110 companions (Sahaba) and 40 followers of Muhammad then states the narration of 360 Hadith narrators who lived between the 2nd to 14th centuries of the Islamic calendar. Amini seeks to prove that Imam Ali (a.s) is the immediate legitimate successor of Muhammad based on Sunni documents.
