Unsurpisignly the Nasibi par excellence Ansar.Org have sought to refute this assertion by suggesting that all the narrations are weak and can only go back to four Sahaba. We hereby present the comments of Dr Tahir ul Qadri al Hanafi from the Ghadir Declaration that shall suffice to prove that their objections are pure lies. Recording Hadeeth 24 on pages 48 to 49 he states:Most of the hadith-scholars have described the tradition given below in the mode of revelation of the verse:"(Surely your (helping) friend is Allah and His Messenger and (along with them) are the believers who establish prayers, pay zakah and bow down (in humility before Allah).""It is narrated by 'Ammar bin Yasir (as) that a beggar came up to 'Ali (as) and stood beside him. He was kneeling in prayer. He (the beggar) pulled out his ring and he gave the ring to the beggar. Then 'Ali (as) called on the Prophet (saww) and told him the news. At this occasion, this verse was revealed to him: (Surely your (helping) friend is Allah and His Messenger and (along with them) are the believers who establish prayers, pay zakah and bow down (in humility before Allah). Allah's Messenger (saww) read out the verse and said: One who has me as his master has 'Ali as his master. O Allah! Be his friend who befriends him ('Ali) and be his enemy who is his enemy."

The Ghadir Declaration, By Dr. Tahir al-Qadiri, Page 48 & 49

His footnote from wherein he cited this narration leaves no doubt that this verse affirms the Wilayath of 'Ali (as). He says:Tabarani related it in al-Mu'jam-ul-awsat (7:129, 130 # 6228), al-Mu'jam-ul-kabir (4:174 # 4053; 5:195, 203, 204 # 5068, 5069, 5092, 5097), and in al-Mu'jam-us-saghir (1:65).Ahmad bin Hambal narrated it in al-Musnad (1:119; 4:372); Hakim, al-Mustadrak (3:119, 371 # 4576, 5594); Diya' Maqdisi, al-Ahadith-ul-mukhtarah (2:106, 174 # 480, 553); Haythami, Majma'-uz-zawa'id (7:17), Mawarid-uz-zam'an (p.544 # 2205); Ibn Athir, Asad-ul-ghabah fi ma'rifat-is-sahabah (2:362; 3:487); Hindi, Kanz-ul-'ummal (11:332, 333 # 31662; 13:104, 169 # 36340, 36511); and Khatib Baghdadi in Tarikh Baghdad (7:377).Hindi has written in Kanz-ul-'ummal (11:609 # 32950): Tabarani related this tradition from Abu Hurayrah (ra) and twelve Companions (ra), and Imam Ahmad bin Hambal has related it from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (ra) and a larger number of Companions (ra). Hakim has narrated it from 'Ali (ra) and Talhah (ra) in al-Mustadrak. Imam Ahmad bin Hambal and Tabarani have related this tradition from 'Ali, Zayd bin Arqam and thirty Companions (ra). Abu Nu'aym has copied it from Sa'd in Fadail-us-sahabah and Khatib Baghdadi has copied it from Anas (ra).Khatib Baghdadi has copied it in Tarikh Baghdad (12:343) from 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (ra) along with the words: One who has me as his master has 'Ali as his master.
CommentAs per this verse of the Holy Qur'an, Muslims have three guardians (Wali), Almighty Allah, Holy Prophet (s) and Imam Ali (as). By saying "la Ilaha Illallah" we declare the unity of Allah, by saying "Mohammad ar-Rasul Allah" we declare the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (s) and by saying "Ali un-Wali Allah" we declare the guardianship (Wilayat) of Imam Ali (as) and this is necessary because had it not been done, the one-third of this verse would have been left unpracticed.
Second verse[Shakir 4:59] O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the last day; this is better and very good in the end.This verse also cites three separate types of obedience. Obedience to Allah (swt), Obedience to the Holy Prophet (s) and to Imam Ali (as), who was the righteous Imam after the Holy Prophet (s) and falls within the meaning of "Ulil Amr". In this connection, Imam Raazi has said that the "Ulil Amr" needs to be infallible just like the Holy Prophet (s) (for further elaboration on this point see our article 'The Creed of the Shi'a'.
Third verse[Shakir 5:67] O Messenger! Deliver what has been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving people.The Sunni scholars of Tafseer have confirmed that this verse descended for Hadhrath Ali (as) at Ghadir e Khum. Moreover Hadhrath Abdullah ibn e Mas'ud is reported to have said that:"during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (s) we used to recite this verse as:
