The time interval and the involvement of intermediary circles in the narration of each event as well as the unrealistic mindsets would mix in lies and distortions in the report. Paying attention to the types of writings about Ashura can be an element to achieve the true narration of Ashura. This article tries to deal with various types of writings and their styles implementing a descriptive-analytical approach. The researchers try to examine the main factors causing an incorrect interpretation of the true narration of Ashura by introducing the characteristics of each type. Some factors such as fragmentation, misunderstandings and sectarian thoughts, disregard for documents and exaggeration could distort the methods and practices adopted in the Maqtal writings. It is obvious that when a Maqtal writer pays attention to the type and style of Maqtal writings along with their harms, he/she can make a correct analysis of the Ashura event which is far from skepticism. %> http://tarikh.maaref.ac.ir/article-1-1035-en.pdf %P 47-76 %& 47 %! %9 %L A-10-1089-1 %+ Assistant Professor, Department of Quran and Hadith, Hazrat Masoumeh University; Lecturer of Islamic studies (Corresponding Author) %G eng %@ 2252-0538 %[ 2020
