Part of the introduction
Jafarian writes in part of the book's introduction:[16][17][18][19]
"It is very easy also forbidden to talk about Imam Hussein (AS) and what happened to him, his family and companions in Karbala. Because on the one hand, we have a sea of information and news that we can use; On the other hand, intermixture of true and false, real and fictional news in the historical narrative of Karbala has become so high that it is very difficult to write and speak.
Indeed, is it possible to obtain the greatness of Hussein (AS) and the greatness of his status and position based on these narrations and news? This question is difficult to answer. The truth is that every time man thinks about it and says and writes something, he feels that he has been able to tell the truth about that eternal epic of history."
