'''''Rawḍat al-Shuhadāʾ''''' (Arabic: روضة الشهداء) is a book in Farsi about the martyrdom of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] and the tragedies of the [[event of Karbala]] written by [[Mulla Husayn Wa'iz Kashifi]] (d. 910/1504). The reason for naming mourning ceremonies for Imam al-Husayn (a) in Iran as "[[Rawda]]" has been reciting this book in such gatherings. ''Rawdat al-Shuhada'' was the reason for publication of other [[Maqtal]]s [reports of Imam's (a) martyrdom] at the times of [[Safavids]] and [[Qajars]]. In ''[[Hamasa-i Husayni]]'', [[Shahid Mutahhari]] seriously criticized some of the reports in this book. | |||

Kamal al-Din Husayn b. Ali Wa'iz Kashifi Sabzewari (d. 910/1504) was a scholar of centuries 9/16 and 10/17 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 the 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 religion of the author. | |||
