Mirza Husayn Nuri ([[Al-Muhaddith al-Nuri]]) in his book [[Lu'lu' wa marjan]], stated on Maqtal of Abu Mikhnaf: "Abu Mikhnaf Lut b. Yahya was a grand hadith scholar and a reliable knowledgeable historian; his book Maqtal was a truly a reliable book, but unfortunately the original [[maqtal]] is not available and the current version which is attributed to him includes some irreligious content which has issues against principles of Islam.
