In the book of Al-Ghadeer, after compiling the chains of narrators, Allamah Amini has
mentioned 110 important companions, who narrated the tradition of Ghadeer,
then he says: “According to prevailing circumstances, the number of narrators of this
traditions should have been much higher, because companions, who heard and
memorized this tradition numbered more than a hundred thousand. Naturally
upon their return they must have conveyed it to others, since it is the habit of
