What is the significance of the poetry recited by Hassaan bin Thabit in the event of Ghadeer?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

That poetry was made by order of the Prophet (SAWA) to register and confirm in the memory of people the great declaration of Ghadeer. The poetry of Hassaan Ibn Thaabit

 يناديهم يوم الغدير نبيهم 

بخمّ وأكرم بالنبي مناديا

Has become one of the important poetry in the history of Islam which recorded the most important order of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).

According to the book Al-Ghadeer by Allamah Amini (ra), how many Sahaba and Tabi'in narrated the event of Ghadeer?
Amina Inloes

I think it is 110 sahabah and 84 tabi'un, although I could be missing some since it's a big book.

What is the significance of the incident of Rohbah concerning the claim of mastership by Imam Ali (as)?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The incident of Rohbah الرحبة is very important to confirm the master ship of Ameerul Mo'mineen Ali (AS) by order from Allah (SWT) which was conveyed by the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) on the Day of Ghadeer in the presence of thousands of Muslims. Imam Ali (AS)'s rights were taken away by Saqeefah persons and he was ordered by the Prophet (SAWA) not to fight them to avoid civil war among Muslims. Some claimed that if Ali was really the master of all Muslims after the Prophet, then did he kept peaceful and did not fight for his right. Rohbah incident replied this question when Imam Ali (AS) asked many well known companions who witnessed the announcement of Ghadeer to give their witness about what they did see and hear from the Prophet in this matter.

Rohbah incident destroyed the claims of the enemies of Ali (AS).

Rohbah incident is narrated in many important Sunni books like al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by the well known Wahabi Shaikh, al-Albani, V. 4, P.338, and Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal 23609, and al-Mo'jam al-Kaberi by al-Tabaraani 4053 and Zawaa'id al-Musnad 950
