Captives of Karbala: Difference between revisions

Main Entry: Arba'in of Imam al-Husayn (a)

The exact date of the departure of captives from Damascus is unknown. There are disagreement between scholars whether the captives passed by Karbala on their way back to Medina or not. Sayyid Muhammad Ali Qadi Tabataba'i in his book “Tahqiq darbar-i awwalin Arba'in-i Sayyid al-Shuhada' (a)” (study about the first Arba'in of Sayyid al-Shuhada' (a)) tried to prove this; however, Muhaddith al-Nuri and Shaykh 'Abbas Qummi do not accept this.
