Studying the Narrative of Ashura Day in Manaqib A’l -e- Abi Talib by Ibn Shahrashoub based on Genet's theory of hypertextuality.

The event of Ashura in the year 61 AH has allocated an important part of historical books from the third century onwards. The early historians, such as Tabari, Ibn Atham Kufi and Balazeri, mainly used books such as the Muqtal of Abi Makhnaf to narrate Ashura. Later writers also based their report on the use of previous historians' books. In the book "Manaqib A’l Abi Talib", Ibn Shahrashoub has tried to explain the merits and excellences of the Prophet of Islam and the infallible imams. Therefore, he inevitably used the book of Tarikh al-Tabari and Al-Futuh of Ibn Atham Kufi to deal with the event of Ashura. In the present study, an attempt has been made to compare the narration of Ibn Shahrashoub about the Day of Ashura with the quoted narration in Tabari's Tarikh and Al-Futuh of Ibn Atham based on the theory of hypertextuality of Genet. Hypertextuality is a theory that deals with the relationship between texts; In such a way that this relationship is not of the description or interpretation type. According to this theory, text A, which is advanced and called pretext, will be the source and inspiration of text B (hypertext). Based on the review and comparison of the mentioned texts, it was determined that Ibn Shahrashob has used sources in an eclectic manner on two levels of predicate and proposition. Also, the most transformation applied in his narration was of quantitative one (cut).
