Genealogy of Sunni and Shiite Resources with Regard to the Tragedies Imposed on Hazrat-e Fatima's (a.s.)

One of the greatest tragedies of the Islamic world are the events that soon followed the demise of the Prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h.). These tragedies include usurping the caliphate of Ali (a.s) and attacking and disrespecting the Household of the Prophet (a.s.), especially Fatima (a.s.). Since some of the Sunnis completely deny the occurrence of such tragedies, an attempt has been made in this paper to find out and introduce those original and authentic Sunni and Shiite resources in which these tragedies have been pointed out explicitly or implicitly so that it can be clarified that they are not merely fictional narratives, but some bitter truth about which we must seek God’s asylum.
