Kamal al-Din Husayn b. Ali Wa'iz Kashifi Sabziwari (d. 910/1504-5) was a scholar of the ninthth/fifteenth and 10th/16th centuries from [[Sabzevar]]. Kashifi wrote the book toward the end of his life. Mulla Husayn was a religious lecturer and poet; that is why he had the title of "Wa'iz" and his pen name as "Kashifi". His sessions and lectures have been famous at that time and those contemporary with him have reported about his position among people and before the rulers of his time. One of the features of ''Rawdat al-shuhada'' which made it lasting is its fluency and flow of the content. There are different opinions about the religious affiliation of the author. | Kamal al-Din Husayn b.
