Abstract:
Among the problems that have affected the great event of Ashura are baseless statements about it. Excessive attention to the event of Ashura, the involvement of non-specialists in describing events, excessive talking and writing, having a purely sorrowful perspective by many narrators, etc., has created a ground for numerous distortions in this field.
The heartbreaking event of the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali Asghar (peace be upon him), due to being more sorrowful than many other events of Ashura, has been subject to inaccuracies. This writing attempts to show some distortions regarding this precious martyr; inaccuracies that have been recorded in writing.
