The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) made it very clear when he said : For whom so ever I am Maula, Ali is his Maula. Which means all authorities of the Prophet on Muslims are for Ali (AS) by order of Allah (SWT). Can any Muslim claim that love and friendship is the only right of the Prophet (SAWA) without his full authority on us with out following him? Love and friendship with out following is meaningless as Allah Says in Quran (Say: If you really love Allah, then follow me. (Aal Imran ; 31)
No real love with out following the beloved.
Hadeeth al-Ghadeer is very clear prophetic order to all Muslims to obligatory follow Ali (AS) as they are obliged to follow the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
