Abstract

The writing of Maktal, especially about the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.), has been the focus of historians from all over the world, and each of them has dealt with it with a special perspective independently or implicitly while telling the history. The book Rozah al-Shahda by Molhasin Kashfi is one of the fighters that has a high reputation among the common people, which is still a reference for a number of historical reports. Due to the importance of this issue, leading research has analyzed the reports of explorers from the uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.) to the incident of Karbala using a descriptive analytical method and with a critical approach. Most of these reports are without source and evidence, and only a few reports are documented to sources such as Noor al-Aimah, Ibn Atham, and al-Hadab. Although many of these reports do not have sources and documents, in old sources these same reports are quoted and reliable with little difference in content. Despite mentioning the sources of some of these reports by Kashfi, it still requires reflection, such as the companionship of Muslim children with their father and their martyrdom, Muslim's recitation of rajj on the Kufa Palace before his martyrdom, the Imam's descent in Karbala, as quoted by Noor Al-Aima.
