Imam Husain (P.B.U.H.)'s Character in "Ithbat al-Wasiyya" Reports

The importance of validation of the related reports to the infallible Imams is totally obvious especially in the Shiite sources. Examining the validity of the related reports to "Imam Husain" (P.B.U.H.) in the Book "Ithbat al-Wasiyya" (attributed to Mas'udi), which has ignored the documents of most reports, including the section of Imam Husain (P.B.U.H.), is the purpose of this paper to find the same or similar reports in the other historical and the Collections of Tradition. Since validating the reports is not just about their documents, the content of the reports has also considered, though it is not the main purpose of the paper. This study shows that, although the reports of this section is stated without documents, the same or more similar ones are found in other historical and the Collections of Tradition. This book presents a supernatural and historical illustration of the character of Imam Husain (P.B.U.H.). This illustration has followed even in the bloody event of 'Ashura in 61 AH. It seems the author of this book has a keen interest in the contents of the reports, which led to ignoring the documents.
