The name of the book is derived from a Quranic verse: "Oh you who believe, fear Allah and be with the Truthful" (Surat Al-Tawba, Ayah 119)
Content
Among the content can be found a part regarding when the Qur'anic verse was revealed: during the Farewell Pilgrimage on Mount Arafat, as regarded authentic in Sahih Bukhari, or later. It also asks why Muslims do not celebrate that day as their greates festivity .
It then continues to talk about the event of Ghadir Khumm, the numbers of people present and the following events, such as The meeting at Saqifah

Shi'a view
Shi'a view this book just the other three books of the authour, as a very good reference for Shi'a-Sunni argumentation.
